The Tamir Rice Killing
Was It Race Related?
By Lynn A. Granata






In November 2014, a 12 year old African American boy was shot and killed by a white police officer in a Cleveland, Ohio playground. He was brutally murdered because he was brandishing a toy gun. The policeman who killed him was not indicted yesterday on any charges. The Ohio grand jury found no crime was committed by the police officer.
What can you say about this? Okay, Tamir Rice had a toy gun, policemen can and will if necessary draw their gun because they feel it's better to be safe than sorry, even if it isn't a real lethal weapon. A 12 year old, well exactly isn't always culpable of doing this, because today so many juveniles have committed crimes that were on par with that if which an adult could be capable of. Tamir would point a toy gun at a police officer. So was it that he inadvertently committed suicide by cop? I think the policeman was not going to chance a situation with a toy gun vs. a real one. Cleveland has one of the highest crime rates per capita. But the boy's family believes it was race related, nonetheless. It's a difficult argument because the police do have a right to use excessive force when necessary and the boy shouldn't have been messing around with a toy weapon. Parents are to blame sometimes in such a tragic incident. They should've taught the boy not to point a gun at a policeman. So that is why he wasn't indicted on any charges. Was it race related? The simple answer is no.

  • Comparison of Paula Baniszewski in An American Crime vs. Real Life and Her Treatment of Sylvia Likens in Both Scenarios


   By Lynn A. Granata


Paula was the first one to befriend Sylvia in the movie.


In the true story, Paula was initially friendly with both Sylvia and Jenny, but then turned on them quickly after she observed the two sisters eating a lot at the church luncheon. It has been written in various print that Paula later went home after the luncheon and told Gertrude they were "pigging out" which got the whole ball of wax rolling toward the abuse, mutilation, and death of Sylvia.


Paula was Sylvia's best friend in the movie, they often went places together and confided in one another about their "girl talk" secrets concerning boys and Paula's illegitimate pregnancy by Bradley, the older married man who later dumped her because of his wife returning home from a belonged trip.


In reality there is no mention of who Paula's boyfriend is nor is his name ever disclosed.


On film, Paula pleads with Bradley to stay, inviting him to become physically assaultive to her. Then Sylvia overhears the commotion and tries to help her friend, then hollers "she's pregnant" out loud. Bradley then backs away and leaves. Paula pushes Sylvia and firmly scolds her, saying that she will pay for that. Paula then sprints off home to her mother. She tells her mother that Sylvia told everybody she's a slut. That wasn't true Sylvia never told everybody Paula was a slut, only that she is pregnant and only between her, Paula, and Bradley.


In real life, Paula didn't actually become Sylvia's best friend and never went places together just the two of them. Paula starting beating Sylvia after her mother did. When Paula started seeing the regular beatings by Gertrude with belts and paddles, then Paula would strike out with her fists plus also other little implements she could find. She would pick up a cup and throw it at Sylvia, then she broke her wrist and had to wear a cast. She beat Sylvia with the cast and made her lip and face bleed. Paula was the one who instigated a rumor around the neighborhood telling Gertie and her friends that Sylvia called her mother a bad name.


In An American Crime, Paula and momma only give Sylvia the silent treatment. Then after church, Paula slaps Sylvia across the face, no blood or bruises, Sylvia doesn't fight back.


The most gruesome abuse is indeed dished out by Paula in reality, she was the one who kicked Sylvia and never forgave her for whatever it was that she was truly aggrieved by. She gave Sylvia baths in scalding hot water, she tied her up to a bed and didn't allow Sylvia to use the bathroom. Sylvia wet the bed and she would get another scalding bath.


Thank God that in the movie they by passed all of that horrible abuse. Movies can't show you the utter cruelty that a sadistic human being such as Paula was committing. Nobody would want to look at it and the movie would drop out as a box office failure, making no money.


 Finally Paula in An American Crime witnesses her mother doing most of the abuse and then becomes sympathetic towards Sylvia. But her mother disagrees saying Sylvia must learn her lesson not to make up lies about people particularly her daughter.
 The dream sequence shows Paula helping Sylvia up out of the basement trying to help her escape from her concrete jail.


In reality, Paula catches Sylvia trying to escape because Sylvia overheard that they were planning on dumping her in the woods. Paula grabs Sylvia by the hair and forcibly throws her back down into the basement.

  • Gertrude Baniszewski's
  • Daughter Paula Pace

  •  

  •  
  • By Lynn A. Granata



On October 24, 2012 an Iowa school teacher was fired from her job. Her name, Paula Pace.
The person connected to this case is none other than the queen of sadism herself, the former Paula (nee) Baniszewski.
Yes, that's right, that Paula, oh...
She certainly has gotten old looking so fast? Is it really her? When you look at the shape of her face, her nose in the photograph to the left looks less pugnacious than it does in the right picture taken of her while she was still very much in her youth. Could she have had plastic surgery? The ridge of her nose in the picture to the right is much more narrower than it is in the left photograph. The shape of her forehead is higher in the right picture and more domal than in the second picture. Her forehead is flatter in her more recent picture. As far as her eyes, she appears to have less life in them than in the young picture. They're even shaped differently too. In her young mugshot photo her eyes are much wider and somewhat larger than in the middled aged picture. Then her hairline in the young photograph is much more receding than in her picture on the left. The only thing that hasn't changed much are her eyebrows. Save for the fact that they're lighter now that she is older.  Also, she has obviously gained a considerable amount of weight, not to say that she was ever predestined to be thin anyway. You could argue the point all day long if these pictures clandestinly match her identity. Something still doesn't quite fit here. There is one thing that is for certain about the physiology of the human face and that is that it doesn't change in shape regardless of the age. I wouldn't rule out plastic surgery though, it can do wonders, especially if you have committed a crime that was so heinous and atrocious that the whole world remembered. You can run Paula, but you just can't hide.


She was fired when it was found out right away thank God! She was working as a teacher's aid at an elementary school in the physical education department for special education students! Imagine having to send your child to school everyday to be at the mercy of the former Elizabeth Bathory.


However, when her profile on Facebook was discovered, then it became apparent that she was the Paula who was the daughter of Gertie Baniszewski and the accomplice to the grisly murder of their peer, Sylvia Likens, 16 in the summer and fall of 1965. Her pictures posted on Facebook explained she had been living in a small 4 room house in an Iowa hamlet. However the thing that gave it away about her connection to Sylvia Likens was the mention of her maiden name Baniszewski. Yes, oh... It was that Paula.

Review of An American Crime
Synopsis of the Cast of Characters

By Lynn A. Granata


Gertrude:
The main character is played by Katherine Keener, Ms. Keener is beautiful, charismatic and gracious compared to the real-life Gertrude who was a haggard monster.

Sylvia:
She is played by Canadian actress Ellen Page, who presents a striking resemblance to the true to life Sylvia.

Jenny:
 If I am not certain of the actress/actor's name, I will only describe the player's role as that character. Since I don't know Jenny's actress' real name, her acting was great and she played Jenny very well from start to finish. Except she wore the leg iron on her right leg in the movie.

Mr. Likens:
 His actor was much more debonair than the real Mr.Likens who appeared uncouth, a typical carnival barker.

Mrs. Likens:
 In real life she was serving time in jail for a shoplifting charge, and wasn't present until after the girls were already living in and contracted into the Baniszewski lease. In the movie, she appears early on as though nothing didn't happen, and was there with the girls when they first attended church, instead she goes off with Mr. Likens to reconcile their cracking marriage.

Attorney Bowman:
 He is the star prosecuting attorney who is cross examining each child and adult witness for the state of Indiana. He is an intelligent prosecutor and leaves no stone unturned in order to solve this grisly murder.

Paula Baniszewski:
 Ari Graynor, plays Paula and she is marvelous as her character in the movie. In real life, Paula was doing most of the beatings and other forms of abuse and torture to Sylvia.  Gertrude started it off, but Paula continued where she left off.  Also, in the movie, she later sympathsizes with Sylvia and forgives her for letting the cat out of the bag, by telling Bradley she's pregnant. In reality she was probably the worst abuser of the lot, and she inflicted a lot of the damage, more than Gertrude did. And didn't sympathsize with Sylvia at all.

Stephanie Baniszewski:
  The second eldest sister of the lot.  She in the movie mostly appears with her boyfriend Coy. Stephanie is hardly present while all this is going on in her mother's home. She walked in when Sylvia was being forced to insert the coke bottle, and actually saved Sylvia from more humiliation. At the end of the movie, Stephanie is probably the only other person living in that household that cared about Sylvia enough to try to save her with artificial respiration.

Marie Baniszewski:
 She is one of the (younger) cute golden haired girls on the stand, the first child witness to testify against her mother's activities that landed them all in the court house.

Shirley Baniszewski:
She is the second younger daughter to get up on the stand, she too has long golden hair and she answers each question very honestly.

John Baniszewski Jr.:
 He is the small boy you see teasing the dog, and then later on taking the other children in the neighborhood down to the basement to see Sylvia lying severely injured on the cold cement floor. He shows his friends what he has been doing to Sylvia, burning her with cigarettes, and kicking her in the face and arms. He tells them that their mother said that they could do whatever they wanted to Sylvia because she's a slut.

Baby Dennis Wright:
 In the movie they call him baby Kenny. He is the infant son of Andy Wright, Gertrude's on again off again boyfriend. 

Ricky Hobbs:
 The fuzzy haired boy with the black horned rimmed glasses. He in the film, appears to like Sylvia, or he has a crush on her, asking her out and following her around. But, Gertrude butters up to him, inviting him over in the afternoons after school just to have a smoke and idle chat. Gertrude discourages him from chasing Sylvia, because Sylvia really isn't interested in him as a boyfriend.

Coy Hubbard:
Stephanie's steady boyfriend, he drives a blue pick up truck, he and Stephanie go out on dates and go parking then make out inside the truck, but she never allows him to go beyond second base. In real life, Coy was the one who supposedly administered the very final fatal blow to Sylvia's head, killing her, she had died from a subdural hematoma. In An American Crime he is shown throwing her down the cellar stairs along with John Jr. and that's pretty much all he does in the movie.

Randy Lepper:
 The shaggy haired boy who is friendly with Stephanie and Coy. He later appears on the witness stand and when asked why he hurt Sylvia, he answers, because "Gertie told me to."

Sally Duke:
 She is the girl in the basement with John Jr. and the other kids, she has long curly brown hair, after John burns Sylvia with the cigarette, she says no, but then she does it anyway because the others told her it was okay. She testifys on the stand that Gertie said it was okay.

Pattie Siscoe:
 Another girl from the neighborhood, she was on the stand, with blonde hair, she testifies that Gertie made Sylvia insert the coke bottle.

Reverand Julian:
 The priest of the neighborhood church that they all attended together.  He made regular house visits to all the congregants in his church. He was concerned about Sylvia, he hadn't seen her in weeks. And Paula told him that she had hatred in her heart for Sylvia.

Several Neighborhood Children:
A few here and there appeared in the film the extras, some were in the basement laughing at Sylvia being tossed around the basement by the older boys.

Hope:
The lady boarding the bus at the beginning of the film. She had a pink kasmir suit on, and Gertrude asks her that if she knows anybody who needs ironing done to let her know.

Mrs. Vermillion:
 The lady who lived next door to the Baniszewski's along with her husband.  She could have helped Sylvia because she heard a lot of Sylvia's screams and blood curdling cries, but did nothing. She appears on the stand and testifies that she didn't want to judge Gertrude nor interfere with her life.

Bradley:
Paula's blonde-haired married boyfriend and the father of her unborn child. He manages/owns a liquor store in town, and it was a popular watering hole for all the teenagers. He no longer wishes to court Paula, and tells her that his wife returned from her trip. Sylvia overhears the commotion behind the store, and rushes in to aid Paula, but Paula objects to her help, and gets very mad, threatening that she will pay for not keeping their secret.

Andy:
 Gertrude's boyfriend and the father of baby Denny/Kenny. She took his surname as an alias, eventhough she wasn't married to him, so that there would be no raised eye brows in the small Indianapolis hamlet.

Eric:
A fictious boyfriend that Sylvia seems to have dreamt up. Sylvia could have been saved if only Eric knew. That is why he had to have been in her dream. It shows when he drops her off at the house, but the others don't seem to notice him, as he really isn't there. Eric first appears in church, right when Sylvia was being blamed for Paula's grievances. Although he looks real, there was imagery in this film that showed dream-like surrealism of the most horrible events which took place in reality. What I mean by this is that Sylvia appears to have escaped from the prison confines of that house. She and Paula walk by her (Gertrude) mother while she is asleep and Paula sets Sylvia free.  Ricky Hobbs goes to his house and gets a car and asks Sylvia what she wants to do? And Sylvia replies that she wants to go to Portage and be with her parents. Sylvia spends her last few moments with her parents and then they drop her back off at the house.  Come to find out, Sylvia never left the house and it was all a dream. While Sylvia was being bathed upstairs in the bathroom, she may have been having near death experiences, then passed away. After that in reality they carried her to the dirty mattress and laid her there. She wasn't breathing as Stephanie was trying in vain to resusitate her, then she screams frantically at Ricky Hobbs to go call the police, and he runs across the street to a pay phone to make the call.

Gertrude Baniszewski and Her Children


By Lynn A. Granata


By no means am I justifying their actions.  The torture of Sylvia was brutal.  Many of you will probably notice several things though, and ask such questions such as why didn't she just leave? Was she a masochist? Why didn't Jenny and her just run away?  These are complex questions without easy answers.  Since none of us were there when it happened.  However, there are a lot of valid explanations for why Sylvia took the abuse, as a passive victim, instead of resisting. 

 First, I am going to begin with that back in 1965 spankings weren't considered child abuse, or illegal. It was before child abuse and domestic violence became public issues.  Sylvia and Jenny were no strangers to beatings, because their father, the very person who was supposed to be there to protect them, instructed Gertrude to "keep the girls in line." So, abuse did in fact take place inside of the Liken's home. Gertrude and Lester Likens came up with an agreement almost like back in the old days of slavery, to barter his daughters, by literally selling them off to a bondage holder.  Gertrude, however, violated every single human right she could by scapegoating the shy and reticent Sylvia. 

Of course, Gertrude wasn't all there, she was crazy.  But, keep in mind she wasn't proved to be insane, either.  She was proven competent to understand what she did was wrong and not insane by the legal definition of it. Medically, Gertrude may have had various psychological experts present to the court at her trial that she was mentally ill with a personality disorder, but that's it. The bar is rigged high in American Jurisprudence to prove insanity.

Sylvia's most common reason for submitting to the torture and brutality it's been speculated is that she didn't want her polio afflicted younger sister, Jenny to become abused by the savaged family. Sylvia, would "volunteer" to take Jenny's abuse. The Stockholm Syndrome can be yet another reason for Sylvia's submission to the brutality. Unfortunately, the Stockholm Syndrome doesn't apply in this case, because Gertrude wasn't taking adequate care of these two girls, as they were only fed soup and crackers everyday, if they (particularly Sylvia) was fed at all. 

SS victims learn to cooperate with their jailor, it's the only way that they will receive good treatment and not become abused much worst.  Sylvia was abused as far abused could go. Jenny was at first, beaten with a paddle or belt, but later on after Gertrude's abuse of Sylvia escalated, she took all the abuse for all of the children in that dysfunctional household.  It was a heartbreaking story, which does prove that there is karma.  
Every person who has taken part in the events has since either died or succumbed to bad karma. The other actors outside of the family, such as the boyfriends of Stephanie and Paula Baniszewski have long since died from heart attacks or other somatic related illnesses, isn't such a coincidence.

Dylann Roof
Motivated by Sheer Ignorance?

By Lynn A. Granata




Dylann Roof on Facebook

Dylann Roof, was the Charleston SC shooter who used race as a motivator for his attack inside of an all black church last June.

But, his motivator was much broader.  It was caused by the anti-intellectualism mind set of Americans.  In other words, ignorance.  In recent years, our political leaders have been promoting this new philosophy called rational public policy.  The idea derives from the fact that Roof committed mass murder inside a church because of racial hatred and intolerance of black culture in a very racist section of the country-the South Eastern States.  This reasoning is erroneous.  

Anti-intellectualism gave him the excuse for his "racist" actions.  We as a culture are headed dangerously close to shear irrationality and yes, you guessed it, ignorance.  Whatever his level of intelligence, means nothing, he was driven by a culture motivated by fear and emotion, not rational thinking. His paranoid personality fails to grasp basic notions of what it is to be human.  At the core of all this is the abandonment of reasoning in America.

Robert Lewis Dear;  Motive is believed to be Right-Wing Political Idealogy 


By Lynn A. Granata



The Colorado Springs murderer is believed to have been motivated by hatred and a hard lined right-wing idealogy against women's rights and equality. This is not to say or to make any excuses for what he did at all. The man is crazy and mentally deranged nonetheless.  He was charged with murder in the 1st degree and is being held without bond.  He surrendered after a 5 hour long stand-off with police outside of a Planned Parenthood clinic back on November 27, 2015. 
Robert Lewis Dear mugshot
I just want to make a point that his motive is still under investigation, but according to a confession that Dear made when he was taken into custody, he seems to have explained it was his extreme right-wing views to a detective.  Dear was an independent art dealer when he lived in the Carolinas.  He also had a previous history of vandalizing other Planned Parenthood clinics by gluing the locks on the doors of the buildings.  His religion is evangelistic Christian without any biblical teachings. He was married previously and his wife divorced him because of his violent tendencies. Dear lived his life as a hermit inside trailers in wooded areas and then made his own cabin with no running water or heat when he lived in North Carolina. 

Right now it is still yet to be determined whether or not Robert Dear is competent to understand the nature of his crimes.  He will be evaluated for a mental health competency check up before his case goes to trial, sometime within the next year or so.
Warning Signs of Forex Trading Fraud

By Lynn A. Granata


There have been substantial risks associated with forex trading schemes in recent years. Don't become the next vulnerable victim of a forex trading scam. You can be on the lookout for the following red flags if there is a firm out there who is trying to convince you to buy from a foreign exchange firm, by remembering a couple of life saving tips to prevent it in the first place. Never place any money that you can't afford to lose,such as your nest egg or retirement savings into any of these foreign currency trading scams.


Here are some fraudulent sales pitches to be aware of:

  • Lead you to believe you can profit from current news already known to the public.
  • Made through word of mouth referrals or emails from friends and relatives, members of community organizations, churches, or social groups.
  • Contacts you asking for personal information such as your name, phone number, and email and home addresses.
  • Promising that with Forex there is no “down-turning market”.

Lookout for these other common telltale persuasion tactics they may deploy;

  • Dangling the prospect of wealth and enticing you with something you want, but can't have.
  • "This Euro/dollar deal is guaranteed to rise double what your current investments are doing."
  • Trying to build credibility by claiming to be with a reputable firm or to have a special credential or experience.
  • "Believe me, as a 10-year senior vice president at this firm, I would never sell something that doesn't produce."
  • Leading you to believe that other savvy people have already invested.
  • "This is how Bob down the street from you got his start. I know it's a lot of money, but I'm in—and so is half our club. It's worth every dime."
  • Offering to do a small favor for you in return for a big favor.
  • "I'll give you a break on my normal Forex commission if you buy now—half off."
  • Creating a false sense of urgency by claiming limited supply.
  • "There are only two units left and the Asian market is about to open, so I'd sign up today.”
Red Flag Warnings to watch out for;

    • Promises that with Forex, there is no “bear” market
    • Firms that claim you can or should trade in the interbank market
    • Requests to send or transfer cash quickly via the Internet, by mail, or otherwise
    • Difficulty getting background information about the person and/or company
    Ask more questions such as;

    • Contact the CFTC to check the company’s registration status, business background, and disciplinary history
    • Ask about the details of the Forex trading market and your obligations if you participate
    • Ask about the firm and the individual’s performance record on behalf of other clients
    • Ask anyone not willing to comply why they are being hesitant to do so
    • Ask for all information in writing. Do not rely on oral promises or statements
    • Check all information you receive to ensure that the company is and does what it says it does
    • Ask for a written risk disclosure statement
    • Ask for the advice of an independent and licensed financial advisor or consultant whom you trust
    If you go to a financial advisor ask;
    • How are you qualified to provide me this service?
    • How does this product meet my financial needs?
    • How are you paid for your service?

    If you wish to get involved in forex trading at all be certain that you;
    • Do not deposit more funds than you can afford to lose.
    • Do not mortgage your home or cash in your savings.
    • Do not trade on margin unless you understand it. Margin trading can make you responsible for losses that greatly exceed the dollar amount you deposited.
    If you have questions, are aware of suspicious activities, or believe you have been defrauded, please contact the CFTC quickly. Call the CFTC at 866.366.2382 or file a tip or complaint.

    How Does Forex Trading Work?

    By Lynn A. Granata


    Currency Pair: We wouldn't have a Forex market if we weren't able to compare the value of one currency against the value of another currency. It is this comparison that drives prices. Forex contracts are always quoted in pairs. The Euro vs. the U.S. dollar (EUR/USD) is the most heavily traded currency pair.  

    Here I have decided to upload a video to my blog, that lets you see firsthand of what forex trading really is.
    This isn't intended to cover the rights and wrongs about forex trading, instead it only covers primarily what it is.  Thus it's not intended to promote the topic of forex trading in any negative point of view, nor is it designed to criticize forex trading, its sole purpose is to explain what forex trading is and how it works.  There will be more topics about forex trading by me, in the near future which will discuss the pros and cons of forex trading, and how financial crimes and scams are abused through the use of forex trading products.

    So, Happy Viewing....

    Forex Trading; What Exactly Is It?



    By Lynn A. Granata




    Have you ever heard the term Forex Trading before? To be honest with you, neither have I.  First lets break it down. We will take a look at the word forex itself.  It can be broken down into syllables which gives us a good idea. So here is an example of what we mean when we break down this small two syllable word.

    for/ex

    The first three letters of the first syllable may or may not give it away as to what word it stands for.  Foreign is the word that syllable 1 stands for.  Ex, the last syllable can be a lot of words in the english language. Okay, now when we use the word foreign, most of us in the United States of America expect that to mean anywhere overseas. That doesn't necessarily include Canada or South America, but it still might to some people.  The last syllable is short for the word exchange.  

    Put the two shortened words together and you have forex.  Foreign Exchange Trading, answer to the question in the title caption is trading with continents abroard. It is a relatively common term and it's been used a lot these days. Forex Trading has become popular through the use of outsourcing in recent years.  Back in the post World War 2 era, there were hundreds of thousands manufacturing jobs in America.  

    When the economy got weak back around 30 years ago, the factories moved to countries such as China, Taiwan, Africa, India, etc. The pay in these countries are far lower than what you could pay employees for the same hard labor in the US.

    So the owners of these factories may still have their corporate headquarters here in the states, but their global movement is much greater than it was before. All because they can open up foreign bank accounts within these countries, and stash their profits in banks in any one or more foreign banks.  European banks have a lot of trading going on with American businesses. It's really difficult to say for certain whether or not if forex trading is illegal. The only time this could be unethical is if the corporate executives profit directly off of what the hard labourers make.  As opposed to what these products yield in the global market economy.

    Forex has been abused in recent decades and it is difficult to monitor completely. Oil, for instance has been the target of forex trading scams overseas.  The large corporations wanted the freedom to have their assets tied up in foreign banks, so that they didn't have to report it to our government. Here is where forex trading has been abused and in fact really does cause harm to the global economy.

    Robert Lewis Dear
    Paranoid Schizophrenic
    Planned Parenthood Attack

    By Lynn A. Granata

    When you see him, you say yes, he looks "as stressed out as stressed can be."
    He is Robert Lewis Dear, a crazy man with a gun who targeted innocent men and women at an abortion clinic in Colorado.  He killed a former olympian ice skater and police officer, Garret Swasey.
    Robert Lewis Dear mugshot.
    "U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is calling the shootings in Colorado Springs a crime against women receiving health care services at Planned Parenthood.
    In a statement Saturday night, Lynch calls the attack not only a crime against the local community but a crime against law enforcement seeking to protect and to serve, against other innocent people, and against the rule of law as well as all Americans’ right to safety and security."(Campbell, November 28, 2015).
    The nation’s top law enforcement officer says federal officials stand ready to offer any and all assistance to the district attorney and state and local law enforcement in Colorado as they move forward with their investigation. (Campbell, November 28, 2015).
    Lynch also says her thoughts and prayers are with the shooting victims, including slain police officer Garrett Swasey. She says Swasey gave his life in order to keep others safe. (Campbell, November 28, 2015).
    Dear, was originally from Louisville, KY.  He lived in South Carolina in a makeshift shack in the woods that has no running water or heat-terrible, isn't it? But recently he was living in a mobile home in a large vacant snow-covered field. This guy was out of touch with reality as far as can be. All he wanted was to be left alone.  He has violent tendencies too.  
    His former wife told the authorities what he did to her, he raped her, and locked her out of their home, and as she tried to regain entry through a window, he pushed her out of the window injuring her. What a beast this guy was. 
    He lived like a dirt bag in a house with no running water, guess he used the woods as his bathroom-disgusting. He was paranoid all he thought was that the government was spying on him. Who knows if he'll try to use the insanity defense to get off on to a lesser charge? I doubt it though.  He caused too much damage. Shooting a policeman. Then several civilians, killed many of them.  He lacks remorse and was oufitted with a special vest for his own protection when he appeared in court yesterday for his arraignment before a judge. 
    Now that he is in jail, presumably he will get his cocktail of anti-psychotic meds on a regular basis.

    Jeremy Bentham
    Inventor of the Useful Panopticon

    By Lynn A. Granata


    Who was Jeremy Bentham?  Well let's begin with a brief explanation that he was an English philosopher and social theorist who lived in the 18th century.

    What he did would change the landscape for the architecture of global prisons to what it has become today. A (pan) meaning all and (opticon) meaning a single watchman is a building structure that is built so that several elevations of floors inside of a prison have corridors of single cells within each unit.  In reality there is no actual watchman, but the design was intended to trick prisoners into believing that they were being watched at all times. Thus, it was thought that prisoners had really no way of knowing that they were being watched, and so they would naturally have to keep their activities under strict control, for fear of getting caught and punished again and again.

    first panopticon developed in England year 1791.
