Quote
A man who lived in the same street as Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro has been convicted of murder and repeatedly raping his three daughters.

Castro's neighbour Elias Acevedo Sr has been sentenced to 445 years in jail without hope of parole after he pleaded guilty to hundreds of charges spanning two decades.
Acevedo, who was picked up during the police investigation into Ariel Castro, exposed his own daughters to decades of sexual abuse as well as committing other rapes and murders.
In 1993, he raped his sister-in-law who was five months pregnant with his brother's child at the time.
"You have changed my life forever," one daughter said during the sentencing, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
"You robbed me of my childhood...I have lived in fear but I will no longer."
Acevedo also pleaded guilty to kidnapping and killing Christina Adkins in 1995 and Pamela Pemberton in 1994.
Pemberton was reportedly raped and strangled to death after refusing to have sex with Acevedo, the court heard.
Acevedo was picked up after police found the registered sex offender had not reported his new Cleveland address.

Fuckin' 'ell. Makes you wonder who else is in that same street.

After I told my roommate about this, his answer and mine were in concert:  They need to check out that entire street, and probably firebomb it just to be safe.

That's a whole lot of WTF going on at the street...

Guys, this is statistics. A rapist/murderer lives on the same street as a high-profile rapist (now deceased)? In a world of seven billion people, it had to happen at least once...

After I told my roommate about this, his answer and mine were in concert:  They need to check out that entire street, and probably firebomb it just to be safe.

And in the process commit a far worse atrocity that what any of the people on that street ever did, combined? No thanks.

Uh, it was a vent, yeah? Kinda pedantic of you, and similar to not "getting" an obvious joke...

LOl because why not be pedantic?

Anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if there was another criminal on the street. It happens.

The Duck Dynasty guy vented and FQA lost their shit over it. Just because you're venting doesn't excuse you from saying stupid things.

If you honestly can't tell the difference I feel so very sorry for you.

Cognitive dissonance is a wonderful thing. You know you'd be up in arms if someone advocated firebombing a street that had a few gay people living on it, even if it was just a shitty joke.

That's not how that works, I'm afraid. But sure. Keep thinking that.

It's Cleveland, what do you expect. The city literally has this sex act (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cleveland+steamer) named after it. Friends of mine refer to Cleveland as "the factory of sadness," "the mistake by the lake," and "the land of rape and robbery."

Too late, if I stop now it'll be a half-assed mountain, and I don't do things by half-measures.

It was the most shocking, horrid statement of 2014.

What can I say? It's what I do.

Just take a step back from the computer and celebrate the new year instead of obsessing over internet drama.

Geez! Is there some weird "Epic Sexual Super-Psychopath" curse on that street or what?

Now for some brain bleach...something wonderful & fun from Cleveland....

Yeah, a bit belated, holiday-wise but I couldn't help it. A great movie! My fave Yuletide feature alongside Rudolph, Frosty, Charlie Brown & Scrooge.

The man who helped rescue the girls turned out to have a criminal background, as well. It's not a typical middle class suburb.

I actually got annoyed with the focus on his background can't let a black man be perfect

It's not cause he's black, he just lives in Cleveland... Everyone there has at least a felony or two.

That's actually a good point.

White man saves people, lauded as a hero.
Black man saves people, his past is intensely scrutinized.

Pretty much also they made fun of how he talked
Basically the fact he gave the reward money to the victims put the media in this spot where they needed something to make him not perfect

For domestic violence, yeah. But it's Cleveland; it's where they send you when you're too bad for the rest of this shitty state.

Let's have something good based off it now:

Admittedly, he's a hilarious guy. Like, he should be a comedian, that's how funny he is.

Bad ass, too. 10/10 for effort, a credit to his country.

Finally someone gets it, Baltimore is shitty and there is a reason the browns left Cleveland for it.

Have they checked the suburbs for any Indian burial grounds? Or toppled cairns?

Those are farther south.

One, not listed on there, has a golf course built on top of it.

It's Cleveland, it has bigger problems than "Indian burial grounds."

Like, "How on Earth is it gonna get Lebron James back?"
