Alabama high school helped Roy Moore prey on children

 
There was a really ghastly murder case in the 1920s. I won't go into detail. It was in Los Angeles. A young man was fired from his job at a bank when he was caught embezzling money. He decided to kidnap the banker's daughter and hold her for ransom. So he went to the girl's school.

He told the people in the office that the banker had been in an accident and was dying, and he wanted to see his daughter before he died.

They asked which one? He had two daughters.

He didn't know her name, but it was the younger one.

They told him the girls were twins--they were the same age.

So he said to just give him whichever one was smaller and, shockingly, the school handed her over to him.

I'll end the story there. School officials didn't think it was strange that the dying father wanted to see one twin daughter and not the other? That this guy didn't know her name? They couldn't pick up the phone and make a call?

I was reminded of this hearing about Roy Moore, the hyper-religious right-wing Alabama politician who was removed from the state supreme court twice. Turns out the guy has a history going after girls as young as fourteen. When he was a lawyer in his 30's, he was known for hitting on teenage girls in a shopping mall.

He asked a high school girl working at Sears what school she went to. She told him. He asked for her phone number. She didn't give it to him.

But a few days later, she was sitting in class at school. She was called to the office. She had a phone call. It was Roy Moore. The school called her to the office to take an obscene phone call from a sexual predator.

Moore told Sean Hannity that he MIGHT have dated teenagers when he was in his 30s----he can't remember, but he sure wouldn't rule it out.

Moore still has his supporters. Some think it's all a left-wing conspiracy. Others told reporters that the Devil is trying to bring him down. How do they know God isn't trying to stop him?

The guy who kidnapped that girl in the 1920s had a defender, too. Ayn Rand was going to write a book about him. He was a crude Nietzschean like she was, and Rand was outraged that an Übermensch would be judged by ordinary people on a jury.
