Youth Pastor Watch

Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, May 4, 2009 at 11:03 AM

California:

1e00/1241458985-ypwkennedy.jpg A former Long Beach gang member-turned-youth-minister showed no emotion today when he was sentenced to death for his role in the murders-at-sea of a Newport Beach couple.... The presidentially-named John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 43, was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder....

The Hawkses were blindfolded, gagged and bound, Machain said. They were then forced to sign to sign sales documents to their yacht before they were led on deck, tied to an anchor and thrown overboard. Their bodies have never been found.

California:

A former youth pastor and choir director at two local churches has pled guilty to molestation and child pornography charges.

Timothy Ryan Jamison, 48, of Modesto was convicted of two felonies related to the molestation of a 4-year-old boy and possession of child pornography.... According to the court records, Jamison was renting a room in October 2007 from a Modesto family. The mother of the 4-year-old boy Jamison was accused of molesting said she caught Jamison fondling the child over his clothes.... During the 18 months that the case proceeded toward trial, several other young boys were also identified as victims of Jamison, Rees said.

Jamison is a homosexual. They have ruined the Catholic Priesthood and are working their way through the Protestants.

Kennedy sounds like a career criminal. His gang membership may be the relevant factor here, Dan. Were his victims youth that he pastored?

Try to see the big picture, Dan.

Wow, I remember that Long Beach story from a few years ago. Dude looks like he is 'roided out. Pretty crazy, I feel bad for that couple's sons. I hope that all three motherfuckers involved get the death penalty, what they did was an atrocity.

The Modesto story is news to me, unfortunately its typical.

That story about the anchor is possibly the most disturbing thing I've read in weeks. I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't know that.

Yes, that first story is horrific. How terrible for that couple to go through that. That guy definitely deserves the chair.

"former Long Beach gang member-turned-youth-minister"

Um, what part of "former gang member" made folks think, gee, this is a guy who'd be a great choice to be a youth minister.

Here's an article about a pastor, (not youth) who also worked in a ARC group home here in Baltimore. Turns out this man of God was getting insurance policies on his mentally disabled charges, then arranging to have them killed.

I wonder if they'll execute the first guy by shooting him in the head from a Dallas book depository while he's riding in a motorcade?

re:Kennedy
Gangs have killed 35 students (children) in just the city of Chicago just this year.
How many gang shootings and killings has Seattle had?
Dan pisses in his panties about youth pastors in Australia but misses the picture.
