Crime / Horrors Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting, Slaughtering Pygmy Goat
Posted by Cienna Madrid on Fri, May 6, 2011 at 11:10 AM
The story gets worse—the pink-collared goat was a four-year-old neighbor's pet:
- Alleged goat abuser.
When police arrived on the scene, they were startled by the bloody crime scene they found, Crosier said. According to the criminal complaint, Bailey was lying dead in a pool of blood on the floor. The small animal, clad in only a pink collar, had blood oozing from a wound to her neck. A pornographic magazine photo lay nearby.According to Crosier, Thompson allegedly "performed some sexual acts on the goat and also killed the goat."
While authorities investigated the crime scene, Thompson, who was "half naked, wearing female panties and a bra," came out of the woods and turned himself into police, Crosier added.
Jesus. I think I just ruined my day with this post. I think I owe myself a drink.

the man is ill, so what's your fucking point? This kind of post just adds to the whole crazification of society and discourse, it serves no worthwhile purpose, it is titillation for titllation's sake. grow up

Is it sexual assault if the goat is already dead (pretending that the goat wasn't a neighbor's stolen pet)? Is it sexual assault if somebody likes to rub one out in a raw steak? How about a cooked steak? Discuss.

"Female panties"?
And hey, can we please get a story where a man does something completely harmless and ordinary while wearing women's underclothes? Like goes to work, goes to a bar, cooks dinner, has sex with his wife? Instead of always being a homicidal maniac, like the papers would have us believe?

West Virginia, huh? Oh, I see - you're browsing mug shots. Aren't those Face of Meth sores on his face? Ugh, I hate to say how horrible/enticing all these mug shots are. The ACLU recently convinced our own state legislature to reject a bill to make all mug shots releasable to our local press. I have to say I'm glad - the point they make overrides my extremely prurient, avid interest. Our state newspaper association is very disappointed, of course.

West Virginia? Well that explains it all, the 4 year old neighbor is lucky he came across the goat first.

@ 1, what does "add[ing] to the whole crazification of society and discourse" mean? Do you think someone is suddenly going to want to do this after reading this? If someone does, it's only because they're already fucked up and disturbed.
It's news - should the paper Cienna quoted have not posted it, because of what it might or might not do?

He became the police? I guess that means he arrested himself?

@1, the heart of the crime, when you get down to it, is that he stole his neighbor's pet. All the other details are vague or superfluous. If he'd bought his own goat, he could've likely done whatever he wanted with it and likely no one would've known or cared.
What I find interesting is that putting a collar on an animal provides an immediate emotional anchor to the animal. Reading this account saddened me, and I'm not overly sentimental about farm animals (my grandparents were farmers and I eat meat). The man's accused of having sex with the animal but we don't know if he allegedly did this before or after the animal was dead (if it was after, cruelty doesn't really apply), or how the animal died (if he did slit the animal's throat and if so, he was adept at it).
So my reaction was mainly tied to the goat's collar. I find that interesting. That's why I chose to post.

In other accounts, I've read that he admitted to being high on bath salts for a week prior. I don't believe he is ill. I believe he is a junkie. Becoming a junkie, although people would like to classify it as a personal choice, is just becoming a danger/menace/leech on society.

@ 22, drugs don't cause people to want to be bloodthirsty sex killers, any more than alcohol causes people to be violent. At most, they lower inhibitions. The urge to do this kind of thing already existed is this shithead's mind, and not all the porn, drugs, or news/blog postings about these things caused him to go do what he did.

Dude has excellent meth-face. I'm very impressed he can be that obviously fucked up and still take the time to style his stylin' hair.
28
Maybe it's because I'm not a halfwit methhead, but I have NEVER looked at a goat - even a pygmy goat - and thought, "yeah, I'd hit that."

@19 i just notice a thread of anti man sex in your posts with some regularity. so maybe thats not your point here but damn i could make a case if i had the time to go back through your posts. men are sex monsters whom it takes incredible control not to stick our penises in things!
you can ignore it, but i think about this stuff alot. not goat sex, but man sex. and women sex. and the misunderstandings between the two.

If this is the same pet goat that Bush was reading about on 9/11 there are going to be some new theories from the truthers like "there was thermite in the goat."

I saw it on Gawker. . . there headline grabbed me:
"Cross-Dressing Man High on Bath Salts Kills Neighbor’s Goat"
at first I thought: "You can get high on bath salts?!" really? wtf? and then it was like. . . aw poor goat. . . and then it was - dang, that guy is 'effed up.
I mean it's gotta some friggin' story if the cross dressing is like the least of it, amirite?
okay, so -1 for being slow with feeling bad about the goat, but jeebus, bath salts?

@14 and @17
no, a single post on this isn't going to make someone go out and do it. but the effect of giving oxygen to stories like this has a cumulative effect - over time, I do think it matters, and since you can only post a limited amount of "news" in a given slog/venue I would think you could find something else out of the millions of opportunities to choose from in the "news" - unless the purpose was to trot out the crazy - which of course it was...
Cienna herself commented as to the disturbing effect of the post - as she posted it - yet she posted it - that's to me says something - oooh lets put the crazy sick fuck story out there - then let's self-excuse for having done so - it was the collar that "fascinated" right...
I think the whole lets post another story about the sick crazy cruel stupid dipshits that (all the better if from Dixie) inhabit the land is old, uncreative, and pointless - and in the end, over time it, when it becomes what people pay constant attention to, yes it DOES encourage more crazy (because a good deal of the crazy is driven by the drive for attention, by whatever means).
But I realize I am clearly in the minority here - cable TV is wall to wall with the theme in never ending variety - I mean a SERIES on people's cars getting booted for unpaid parking?! Endless iterations of "attention in exchange for humiliation" - bad enough for the people that participate, toxic and corrosive to the social fabric when it become "just a good laugh" - that's the way I see it.

@ 27, I stand partly corrected. I didn't see violent rape or bestiality mentioned in there anywhere.
@ 35, what's the basis for this belief that exposing these stories cause the same crimes to be committed? You realize that people have to be disturbed in order to do something like this, don't you?
If you have an aesthetic reason for disliking this posting (it IS rather sensationalistic, to be sure), that's one thing. But it seems out of place to make claims about "giving oxygen" to these stories since, after all, this kind of crime likely occurred before humans knew how to write. It's the same kind of argument that you hear about pornography "causing" rape.

Wait. Is bath salts just slang for meth, er... Do they really mean he was smoking (snorting) actual bath salts?
42
Originally I thought the goat was wearing the bra and panties. Which was a much more disturbing picture really. I mean, who dresses up their dead fuck goat?
43
you white boy's are muthafuckin crazy . i can see this guy on release day walkin out the door in a bra and panties. oh yeah some big black buck gonna make a bitch out of him , oh yeah .. seriously wtf!?
