Teen Suicide Tormentor Outed By Anonymous
MightyMartian writes "From the CBC: 'The tragic story of B.C. teen suicide victim Amanda Todd has taken another bizarre twist as the internet hacking and activist group Anonymous has named a man the group says was the girl's primary tormentor. Todd, 15, of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, died last Wednesday, a month after posting a haunting video on YouTube that cited the sexualized attack that set her down a path of anxiety, depression and drug and alcohol abuse.' This raises a whole nest of issues surrounding the presumption of innocence and vigilantism. Should the police and the courts be given the appropriate amount of time to determine if there is sufficient evidence, or if a crime has in fact been committed, or is Anonymous right in short-circuiting what might in fact be a lengthy process with no guarantee that anyone will face charges?"

Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in your midst. And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city. (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)
I'm probably being unfair. This religion only represents about 1/6 of the worlds population and is the likely religion of the parent poster. There are probably many religions which are actually against rape.

Just over a year ago, my daughter was murdered. I was told initially, that it was suicide. Then I was told it was a bad accident. I was threatened by the police not to investigate it, or I would be charged with obstruction. Through some irregularities with her brief hospital satay, I was presented with facts that do not add up. So, I started asking the police some questions. Quickly, they stopped answering, and then lied about their responses.
I’m not just another father grieving over his suicide daughter. For those that I’ve talked to about it I just barely get into the details (19 bruises, lack of GSR, plans for the next few days – and so very much more) and I’m asked if he is still being held in prison. My answer is no: They ‘interviewed’ him twice for a total of 60 minutes, and let him leave the state. Rose was murdered in a small county, with a sheriff that refuses to investigate (or respond). I (we) cannot afford to hire a private investigator, or a PR company. The ‘big city’ news agencies will not return phone calls. How does one motivate a lazy, small hick down, with a lying sheriff to do the right thing? I know that they cannot afford to do a full “CSI” stile investigation, but dam, get the evidence that has been there for over a year. Talk to witnesses that were with her that day. Keep in reasonable contact with the family
Perhaps piggy back on another story, in hope that someone will be able to render some assistance?
