We should give his name and number to the inmates of the prison we send him to.

Better yet - let's have it tatooed on his butt. "DeMarco, cell (block)# 4812, call for a good time".

Myles told detectives that the sex with the Howard student was consensual, but he admitted forcing his way in to the Rhode Island Row apartment and stabbing her after she resisted, according to court documents.

So he forced his way in, she resisted, but it was consensual? These are his words? Mind boggling isn't it?

Wowza, there were two different attacks. He claims sex with one of the women was consensual, but not the other.

Myers has read too many romance novels, or watched too many television soap operas. I remember one episode of Quantum Leap, where a woman said that it was rape the first time, and love all the times afterwards.

Thank you Misscreant! I didn't realize that the first time around; makes more sense now.

haha what an idiot. Rot in prison ya bastard.

Rapist, think differently than normal persons; they are all sociopaths persons, very dangerous; they attempt to gain the confidence of the victim first, then attack when they are rebuffed; they are incurable, they are very dangerous, they must be taken out of society, as long as they are on the loose they will continue their rampage.

I can see Myles on his first day in the prison shower, with his number tattooed on his butt, and he's singing "...I may be crazy, butt here's my number, so call me maybe ..."

Maybe an inside chain lock properly secured might be a good idea in these places, adjacent to a security panic button.

hmmmmmm..........something don't add up. So how do get past so many security points? Especially the one building that needed a key card.

punisher, apart from your lack of coherent sentence structure, what doesn't add up is that many urban males are feral creatures, roaming streets night and day with no purpose other than impulsively doing something that is illegal and harmful to others, especially to women and children. Unless someone has lived in or near a high density area, such as some low income 'hoods of metro Washington, they wouldn't believe how incredibly stupid most of these criminals are - the result of generations of stupid/mentally ill breeding with stupid/mentally ill. In every large city and in all these inner city quadrants, such as NE DC, there are not enough spaces in jails and not enough mental health facilities, let alone free birth control clinics to stop it at the source. That's how you get some 1/2 wit teen/20-something rapist thug who thinks he has hit upon a new way to speed date.

littlechanges

Well..........excuse me. My whiskey bottle ran dry, but besides your rant on males, you haven't answered the question. Looks like you could use a couple of shots yourself. Also it seems you've dated a few of these peeps, hence the bitterness.

the punisher - really, you cant figure out how he managed to get past keycard checkpoints?

clearly you've never walked in a building that has one.

If you dont have a keycard you wait until someone does and is opening the door, and then "catch up to them" so you dont have to use your own.

Same rule follows for every point on the inside of the building that requires it.

College kids, in general, arent thinking every person coming through the door with you are rapists...you just either assume it's a student in the same dorm and they are just taking advantage of the fact that only one person needs unlock the door...or it's a boyfriend of someone in the dorm, who obviously wouldnt have their own access - but is otherwise welcome to come in.

I work in a building with a keycard - we often hold the door for people so they dont have to pull their own keycard out. I dont always recognize everyone ...but it just feels rude to quickly shut the door, when they are only a few feet behind you.

Jessica-1170252

My bad, I don't go around doing illegal activities. But you seem to have that down pat.

Thumbs up to Jessica for a well written considerate response and explanation.
Punisher, what gives man? or woman? Are you just in a bad mood? Jessica answered your question, which seems like life's experience and a bit of imagination might have already answered for most. Why the put down?

"My bad, I don't go around doing illegal activities. But you seem to have that down pat."

People hold the door at ATMs and all kinds of places. I've been on both sides of the "hold the door dash", and yeah, I've wondered who am I letting in, and I've wondered appreciatively at the kindness of the people who have "held" for me. They were very nice, but they didn't know me from Adam.

Uhhh, it was an all women's dorm hall, so girls probably werent just holding the door open for him. Why would he give out his number to someone he raped? That is just too dumb for someone smart enough to sneak into an all women's dorm hall. He obviously raped and tried to murder that first woman, but Im not going to instantly think that he did the second one too. Something smells fishy.

He should still be in jail for life btw for what he did to the first woman.

I lived in an all girls dorm all through college...yeah...they will hold that door open. College students don't think of things like rapists and murderers in general. We are too busy believing we are immortal and things like that won't happen to us.

Also, I work in mental health now. You would be surprised at how sick and how intelligent someone can be at the same time. It can be pretty scary.

lisa.

that's bad news for THEM here. i taught my lady how to pull the triggers on my double barrel and how to pump another round into my 870 years ago. both are loaded with 00 buck. much more reliable then a handgun ...as they tend to take out whole walls....along with anything in front of them.

i suggest you learn the same.

Yeah, IA.ScooterTramp, because that always works. Which is why, of course, you see so many news stories about people successfully fending off attacks with their guns. Oh wait -- THAT NEVER HAPPENS.

Also, did you really just say "I taught my lady how to pull the triggers on my double barrel"? You're living in a bad country song.

Scooter tramp --- is the shotgun permanently attached to her personage?? A shotgun is an unwieldy weapon a handgun is a lot better in close combat.

The thing with these key cards is you can just say "Hold the door please" and they will let you in. You could be holding a bunch of books and the kid with the card will easily let you in. Drop the books and off you go. That's a real problem in buildings with a need for security but no REAL security.

This why I and my wife have a license to carry'....come on in punk...make my day........

Krullulon - you're an idiot that knows nothing about the subject apparently.

You don't see any (many) news stories because they don't sell as much as stories about mass massacres - but THEY DO happen. Plus, most of the newsies are pushing their liberal anti-gun agenda anyway.

_http://www.nrapublications.org/index.php/armed-citizen

krullulon - Actually it does happen. Elderly lady near my house fired off her shotgun and the burglar (or whatever) fled her house. Never made national news. I live in a pretty rural area, and these things happen from time to time. Not sensational enough to make national news, I guess.

krull

its not reported so it doesn't happen right? and your brilliant plan is....be a victim?.

wheel

one in bedroom... one close by...in living room. problem with a handgun if you wear glass's or its dark, which is likely, a shotgun works better, although admittedly we both have a CCP. the NEED for close combat is greatly reduced by my 90 lb golden retriever, by the time he shuts up and an intruder gets by ....he's toast....

Yeah hillbilly, pretty sure you can't keep loaded guns in dormitory. And call me crazy, but I don't especially want my daughter living next to the girl whose insane father thinks she needs loaded guns in area where there are a lot of folks through very thin walls.

Keep you daughters at home to live in your paranoia and quit endangering many other lives with you inanity. Guns aren't the answer to every problem, if they were, there would zero crime in the US with sheer numbers of guns we have. They make it worse, always have, always will.

Yep, in this case a gun would have posed extreme risk to everyone else in the building.

In this case a none lethal would have been perfect. Toss a few blinder cubes in his path and then hammer the dude with a nice baseball bat and keep screaming until he is no longer a threat or until someone comes. The blinders require a bit of training and practice, but he would have been unable to see well enough to pose much threat for up to 7 to 10 mins,

Maybe, they should also have a panic system installed in each room. That way security can be called quickly. Heck, you could even have the panic system set off by screaming for x number of seconds, just as a fail safe to being quickly restrained.

As to how he got by the security. I am betting that someone let him though at ea step. He probably "social engineered" someone into thinking he had a harmless reason to be there and so had that someone ( a student or other person with clearance ) open doors for him.

The more lethal methods of self defense would have been an unacceptable risk in a dorm, and they probably against the rules anyway.

scott and QE

ONE was in a dorm, ONE in a woman's home.....put a gun free zone sign on your door that's a much better plan. and scott as you turned this into a "daughter " thing, where did i mention that ? i said lady, but you have already displayed your reading comprehension skills now haven't you.

But tell you what i sincerely hope your daughter or lady never are placed in that situation.

ScottW714

Sorry to burst your bubble. Per FBI crime statistics, while the numbers of firearms in America has INCREASED, the incidence of violent crime has DECREASED.

Do you see the corollary evidence that firearms do in fact prevent crime? I can further assure you that a dead criminal is MUCH less likely to prove to be a recidivist problem.

Oh... afternoon IA.

QE137, the first time I read that post I saw, "toss a few BINDER cubes". I did have to re-read that, we are talking about students after all. :p

It is Howard University: a fairly good black college in a crappy part of DC.

Security is a deterrent, not an absolute guarantee.

Back to self-defence stories...Last week a 12 yr old girl home alone shot an intruder. She probably wouldn't be alive if she hadn't had the gun.

No such thing as a black college, or white college, or any other race college in the US littlechanges.

If you want that kind of TV, move to Iran.

I'm betting stringing him up by his genitals would serve as a better deterrent to this type of crime than prison. Same thing for pedophiles!

America is too "civilized" for appropriate punishment.

and cant find em.......

Umm..re-read the article....they found him living with his mother...

its called sarcasm Berenerd... look up the word.......

Scooter

I know, some don't get it, that's why I put out a sarcasm alert for those that cannot think past their egos. Great Job, most times the cops cannot find the perp - unless they are candidates for Americas Dumbest Criminals and Myles won that hands down!

that's the way its SUPPOSE to work anyway, its truly sad that reality tells and shows us differently.

Buffaloe51--The suspect will get off on a technicality or serve a minimum sentence out on parole in 1 to 5 the legal system is a joke.

You really think that rape and attemtpted murder will get him a year in jail? Your delusional...

rape and attempted murder will get him six months, with time off for good behavior, plus 3 years "supervised probation", maximum. I'm sure he had a rough childhood and was emotionally abused, thus he's not really responsible for his actions.

only if it was 'legitimate' rape

That is one ugly dog!!

The article doesn't say she "retrieved" anything, it says he wrote it down as he left. It sounds to me that he did it on his own out of "courtesy" and that she did not ask for it.

Ryan...he thought she enjoyed it SO MUCH that she'd actually call....talk about an ego...

Smart woman. She faked enjoying it to save her own life. His ego got a boost and he left his number for the next time. Rapists are all about control and power. If you let them think they are in control you are more likely to live.

The problem with this is (of course) that the Republican conservative machine would not consider this "legitimate rape".

I know that lots of folks are going to whine that this case should be politicized, but, when Akin and Ryan were (are) trying to redefine rape, this is what they are talking about.

In court, the defense with point to the fact that the second woman has no injuries and there for...

The message from the right is clear. Fight back and possible be not only raped but killed or maimed, or weigh your chances, and survive and be labeled a consenting participant by older religious men who some how know better.

I really hope Obama wins

You are a fool. What Akin referred to as legitimate rape was actual rape, as opposed to false claims of rape. But who could expect a libtard to understand anything so simple?

You are right, Scooter.

We need a special lock up facility just for rapists and pedophiles. They DO NOT change, they CANNOT be rehabilitated, and they DO NOT deserve to be turned loose on the rest of society ever again.

We used to eliminate them but the useless Supreme Court says we can't do that any more, that brutal rape of women and children is not deserving of death.

So if we can't kill them, they need to be locked up for life.

Remember when rape was a CAPITAL crime? Death or life in prison? Nowadays it's just a stint in jail and you're free to rape again....

I thought the penalties for rape in most states were pretty strong now. Particularly in the instance where he stabbed the woman 25 times for Pete's sake! In California he'd get a heavy sentence and he'd have to serve at least 80% of the time, due to the violent nature of the offense, before he was eligible for parole. Not sure of the laws in D.C. You'd think they'd be fed up with all the crime there by now.

Christina, the penalty is steep in some jurisdictions. However, the prisons are filled to capacity, so you have judges with no alternative but to let the criminal plead down the charges or get a reduced sentence to make way for the repeat offenders and those who've committed even worse crimes. There are 2 million men in prisons across the U.S., with another 3 million on parole; none are choirboys and almost all will be back on the street at some point. Start holding their families responsible - financially and within the community - and watch some people either start using birth control or begin parenting their sons better.

You can't hold the families responsible for the actions of men. Kids, maybe, but not grown men.

How about we stop filling the jails with kids who were experiment with drugs?
Our criminal system has been outsourced to the private sector, and their best interest is making money, not keeping us safe.

This is why electing a "businessman" to be our President doesn't make a lot of sense to me. We know that Romney is good at and wants to make (more) money. There is nothing that says that he can or even really wants to make life any better for the rest of us.

Vote for Obama 2012

But we don't know, do we? We do know from 4 failed years that Obummer doesn't care about making life any better for the rest of us...unless we are Muslim, Hispanic, or welfare leeches.

a piece of paper will never stop these scum. a bullet to the head out back of the courthouse however............

the P,C, crowd will place him in P.C. or "segregation" depending where you live. it amounts to the same thing......coddling scumbags.......

Bubba is his relative or a friend who beat him to the slammer, most likely.

yep but its ok we wont mean to do it......

as a volley of shots with reloads shooting again....ooops, my bad, I had an accidental trigger pull or two... and i didn't know it was loaded - with a 30 round magazine!

I have often wondered the same thing. Law enforcement says its lack of manpower to run the tests, but I think it's lack of motivation on the part of the powers that be in hopes these pain in the azz "womens" crimes will just go away.

Hi Folks,

This is where taxes, and reality come into the game. If you don't pay for the lab technicians time, they won't work for you. If you don't tax, you don't have money. Hence, Rape kits go un processed.

This is not "big government" this is a government that has the resources to do what it needs to do.

I agree with everything that you both have said. But in most cities, we don't even have enough cops on the street. We need to have a robust and responsive system that can respond. and that includes well funded and staffed labs.

So the next time some one talks about cutting programs to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy, remember, this is what they are talking about.

That's too sick to be laughing at, but I am.

Sorry everyone. I didn't even want to say that...

but i HAD to.

At this point in time, do you really think repeating an asinine comment that is hurtful to rape victims is doing your posts any good? You aren't even naming the idiot who made the comment in the first place.

sure spartan, he only did it to prove a political point....get a clue....

Now that was sick and still funny! But who knows.....the election is today after all.

I'm with you spartan. Sorry Scooter and Wheezer. But your responses suggest that you voted Republican, and that you are in denial. This is exactly what Akin and Ryan have been talking about.

Embarrassing as it is, the Republican vice presidential candidate believes, has said written and even video taped (and Romney agrees) things that suggest that he would not consider the second woman to be a victim of "legitimate rape".

What did you guys think he was talking about?
Rape is Rape!

Vote for Obama!!! Please!

maninjapan - You don't know a blessed thing about how I vote(d). I LOVE how each side accuses the other of making assumptions/jumping to conclusions while doing the selfsame thing. Ya'll are exactly alike spewing vitriol and hyperbole for the pure pleasure of the spewing.

fwiw, I've been a dedicated third party supporter for the last decade. I'm so disgusted with both sides that the thought of voting Democrat OR Republican leaves me nauseated, and I will write in a candidate before I cast a vote for either major party.

Do you mean like "you can't rape the willing?" Is that the same as an "easy" rape?

Ask Akin and Paul Ryan. They are the self appointed judges on this issue.

Or maybe you should just look it up in the Republican party platform.

What ever, The woman certainly couldn't possibly be trusted to know that she'd been raped. She probably thought she'd was a victim of voter fraud, or something important to Republicans like that.

So let's ask Ryan and Akin. They Know. Romney may tell us after the elections, but his answer may vary from state to state and audience to audience so bring along the salt.

I hope you are being sarcastic.

Yep, all those "fake" rape victims usually stab themselves 25 times before going to the police. The suspect in this case admits he forced his way in on both instances. It does not matter even if she led him to her dorm room, if she says no it means no. Get a clue and stop trying to blame the victim.

Peas-on-Earth3,

And do you have ANY proof of this? In general, less than 6% of rape claims are false and a whole lot more are not reported at all.

you are an AH.

Hi Joe and Miss C.

Sounds to me like you have some issues with black women, and with women in general, especially college students.

It is pretty sad that you are using that case of an obvious rape to air your dirty laundry. I won't write what your posts suggest you have or tried to, or would like to do. I'll just say that I think you are pathetic, and I hope you get professional help before you try and coax your targets into "having a little fun".

Sick jerks.

Excuse me, but how did my post show any issues with black women, female college students, or that I have tried to rape anyone? Considering I am female myself, that's laughable. I was offended by Joe's post and, as I stated, was hoping he was going for sarcasm gone wrong instead of truly being serious.

I think you, maninjapan, have issue with reading comprehension.
