The whole world is horrified at the story unfolding from Antioch, California. Phillip Garrido, a registered sex offender, and his wife Nancy, were arrested for kidnapping and repeatedly raping eleven-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard and holding her captive for the next eighteen years. They kept her in a maze of trees, blue tarps, tents, sheds and abandoned vehicles in the back yard of their home, along with two girls, aged 11 and 15, who Garrido fathered with Jaycee Lee.
The Garrido residence is located at 1554 Walnut Ave, Antioch, California. Plug that address into Google Maps like I did, click on Satellite View, and you can see for yourself the hellhole that Jaycee Lee and her two daughters endured.
Garrido had been sentenced to 50 years for kidnapping and life for rape in a separate 1975 incident in South Lake Tahoe. He was released on parole just eleven years later. An investigator recalled, “I asked him after he confessed why he did it, it was the only way he could get sexual satisfaction. I think he had to use force to get sexual satisfaction.”

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

Sickening, just absolutely sickening.
Goddamn it, we could see it just like this, why the hell didn’t the neighbors?!?! People see what they want and selectively blind themselves. It makes me wonder if I’m missing something really important close to me, too.

It is the “Not My Problem” syndrome. Life is way too stressed and hectic for most persons to bother to give a damn. My neighbors and I compare notes all the time, keeps the area a bit safer for everyone’s children.

Well, that’s part of it. Another part is that rape is not taken seriously. It should be a one-strike crime, but the police always let rapists walk.

Terrible, this poor child/woman.
Odd that there is a car parked on the lawn. Antioch isn’t in the South per se but it’s kind of the armpit of California.
I’m not saying, I’m just sayin’

Actually, with Google’s Big Brother spy in the sky photography available for over a year now, I am baffled as to why pictures like this raised no alarms.
Heartbreaking story.
