L.A. Pride Weapons Suspect Charged With Molesting 12-Year-Old Girl

Source: Gawker

The Indiana man arrested on weapons charges while in Santa Monica this weekend for the Los Angeles gay pride festival was additionally charged with child molestation on Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.

Prosecutors told the AP that it was a “logical conclusion” that 20-year-old James Wesley Howell traveled to California to escape the investigation into allegations he had sex with a 12-year-old girl on state forestry property in Indiana last month.

Joseph Greeson, a friend of Howell’s from Indiana, described the suspect as bisexual and said he harbored no ill will towards gays and lesbians. According to Greeson, however, Howell was “lonerish” and may have fled the state due to prior legal trouble.

“He might have got scared because he got in trouble here and stuff,” Greeson told The Indianapolis Star. “He might have just been heading out and then had the guns with him for whatever reason and just, you know, wrong place and wrong time.”

He appeared to be pro-pot, seems to like Bernie but certainly hates Obama and Hillary.

But most certainly loves his white Acura.

I'm starting to see that connection, e.g. the Arizona guy who was the head of the militia down there. Is this just random, or are the basically just sick puppies?

They are very sick, but I would not insult puppies.
