"Sex offender running for seat on Vermont's state senate" by John Curran, Associated Press | November 3, 2008
BURLINGTON - Larkin Forney's been a lot of things in his life - sex offender, drunk driver, head injury victim, marijuana legalization advocate, prisoner.
This year, he's a candidate for state Senate. Forney, 31, of Milton, who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a minor and has three drunken-driving convictions, says he's running to bring public attention to flaws in the criminal justice system - and to let the world know he's no pedophile.
Only in Vermont!
He knows his background might scare off some voters, but he figures honesty might win him some votes in the race for one of six at-large seats representing Vermont's most populous county.
Umm, yes, and NOPE!!!!
"All my skeletons are out in the open, while other people continue to deny theirs," he said.
Pffft! This WHOLE DAMN COUNTRY -- including its shit-bag governments -- is in DENIAL!!!! Quit trying to PLAY the SAINT, pervert!!!!!
Vermont law has no ban on people with criminal records running for office. If you live in the district you want to represent and you gather enough signatures from people - in state Senate races, that's 100 - you can get on the ballot.
What, couldn't find candidates otherwise?
Forney's name appears with 13 others on tomorrow's ballot, under the "Justice for Vermonters" party label. In his campaign literature, he says diagnosed sexual predators and pedophiles should be sent to prison for life, marijuana should be legalized, and US troops withdrawn from Iraq.
Yup, give the PEACENIKS a BAD NAME!!!! That is NOT the kind of HELP we need!!!!
Well, this guy WOULDN'T EVEN BE AROUND if I had MY WAY!!!
Start FRYING the SICKOS!
In any election, Forney probably would face an uphill battle. Running this year makes his candidacy especially difficult. The abduction, rape, and murder of 12-year-old Brooke Bennett - allegedly by her uncle, Michael Jacques, a sex offender - has badly shaken people in Vermont, and prompted a vigorous election-year debate over how best to prevent sex crimes and punish those responsible.
Electing a sex offender? It could happen, Forney says. "I don't think I have that bad of a shot. They can put the 'sex offender' label on anyone. I can put a Jack Daniel's label on a can of (nonalcoholic) O'Doul's, but it doesn't make it whiskey. The government can put the sex offender label on someone, but it doesn't make them a pedophile or a dangerous person," Forney said.
Well, I agree somewhat there: Government-Hosted Porn and Porn On the Web
Forney, who suffered a traumatic brain injury as an 8-year-old boy when he was hit by a car, blames the injury for some of his troubles, which include a suicide attempt in which he set himself on fire.
All the more reason to fry him; and look, we'd be DOING HIM a FAVOR!!! How about taking some RESPONSIBILITY, pervert?
The sex charge stemmed from a 2002 incident in which he had sex with a 14-year-old girl. He says the sex was consensual, and that the girl lied about her age. Attempts to reach her for comment, through the Chittenden County victim's advocate's office, were unsuccessful.
What were you EVEN DOING in that SITUATION, pervert? Why were you EVEN THINKING of tapping that YOUNG GIRL, sicko?
Forney, who pleaded guilty to the charge in 2005, served 19 months in prison. He says he was pressured into the plea. Whatever the truth, his candidacy was a surprise. --more--"
Just as it was a SURPRISE to see it in the divisive, Zionist-controlled, agenda-pushing, image-distorting, propagandistic press!!
And yet they PROMOTE the GAY AGENDA!!!!
