Newsletter issue #3for women, parents, seniors, and crime survivorsLearning from VictimsCONTENTSMug-Ins - Safety Tips at HomeHall of Shame – Idiot Lawyers & Shrinks~~~~~~~~~~~~~INSIDE THE CRIME NEWSMug-In: An attacker ambushes you outside your home and forces you inside. It’s similar to a Push-In, but begins while you’re outside, perhaps farther away from the door. As Anna returned home and unlocked her door, a man suddenly appeared behind her, put a knife to her throat, and shoved her inside. Once inside, he spun around to lock the door behind them. In that instant, Anna ran to her bedroom while overturning furniture in her wake to slow his pursuit. ... Deadbolting the solid door behind her, she pushed a panic button, setting off her home security outdoor siren. He fled. Anna was safe in her fortified bedroom (described in Safe Room). Safeguard your home even if you live in Sleepy Valley – predators like to prowl where the prey least expects them. Prevent the vast majority of home intrusions – whether by burglar or invader – by making sure all your family members use these home security strategies. Of course, predators will always find prey – but the most cautious targets will be spared.

He was judged not guilty by reason of insanity and put in a state mental hospital. Six years later, state psychiatrists said his mental illness is in remission and he should be released.His attorney, Scott Neumann, said he’s not a danger and shouldn’t be penalized forever. Eric Hufnagel, of the National Schizophrenia Foundation, said it's not fair to assume that it’ll happen again, that some people are violent just once and never again. Let’s drop the politically correct poppycock trying to hide spectacular stupidity. “Mental illness” is usually rather mundane. In this case it means stark, raving lunacy at its most extreme. “Illness is in remission” means an illness has subsided for awhile – not permanently, nor does it imply a “cure.” In this case it may well mean that after six years under lock and key, Mr. Yang is just “between meals.” This is not about “penalizing” anyone, Mr. Neumann. This is about protecting society from a nightmarish cannibal. Oh, please, Mr. Hufnagel. “An act of violence” can be as minor as a once-in-a-lifetime slap in the face. But in this case it means bludgeoning, mutilating, and cannibalizing. Beyond the con-man euphemisms masquerading as logic, four little words thunder in the mind: Man Ate Mother’s Eyes! If he is not a danger, then who is, Mr. Neumann? You don't think it's fair? Fair to whom? It’s not fair to endanger us, Mr. Hufnagel. Maybe they think the cannibal merely has an eating disorder. Or maybe they think he simply misunderstood his mother when she asked him if he wanted dinner. Let’s remind them of the facts: Yang pulverized his mother’s skull, sawed off her face, and dined on her eyeballs. Egregiously violent offenders are simply broken and cannot be fixed – they’ll be dangerous from the cradle to the grave. See Predatory Mind. Notice that neither Neumann, Hufnagel, nor any of the fuzzy-headed shrinks volunteered to be society’s guinea pigs by inviting their safe little monster to move into their homes and live cheek-to-jowl with them. And they never can explain exactly why these dangerous creatures need to roam freely among us. For us, it’s all risk with NO benefit. The shrinks say, “If they take their daily medication, they’ll probably be no threat to others.” Sorry, Doc, ”if” and “probably” don’t cut it. These barely functional mental patients usually don’t take their meds. That’s very possibly a catastrophe for any innocent soul who happens to be nearby. Past behavior (in the real world) is the best predictor of future behavior. Behaving properly in an institution is never predictive of future behavior in the real world – especially when it comes to a monster. But legislators, judges, shrinks, lawyers, and do-gooders once again unleash a de facto homicidal maniac on an unwilling group of guinea pigs: us. This case is scarily typical of many thousands more that, so to speak, free lions and tigers from the zoo to roam your neighborhood so the kindly zookeepers can feel all warm and fuzzy.
