Today's Featured Californian: Robert Rhoades
Murderers have no better friend than Gov. Gavin Newsom!
Robert Rhoades is one of the hundreds of killers California Gov. Gavin Newsom refuses to execute, in defiance of the clear will of the voters. Instead, Rhoades will be transferred to the general prison population and — if actor Mike Farrell has his way! — will have a BIG party thrown for him!
From the California Supreme Courts description of the facts of just ONE of Robert Rhoades many, many torture-murders:
PEOPLE v. RHOADES
S082101
Opinion of the Court by Kruger, J.
***
Michael Lyons lived in Yuba City with his mother, stepfather, and two younger sisters. He attended third grade at a school in their neighborhood.
***
At around 11:00 a.m. on May 17, a search team found Michael’s body in the “river bottoms” along the banks of the Feather River. The body was lying under some bushes in a wet, muddy area near the river. He was found naked from the waist down and with a dark green sweater pulled up over his head. …
Dr. James Dibdin performed Michael’s autopsy. Michael had suffered a pair of deep cuts with a knife to the left side of his neck, one superimposed on the other, which would in themselves have been fatal. In addition, he had been cut across the right side of his neck and stabbed on the left side of his chest, puncturing his lung, and on the left abdomen through to his back (the latter two both deadly wounds). He also suffered defensive wounds to his hands. Dr. Dibdin found multiple lacerations to Michael’s anus, one an inch long, internal bleeding associated with these lacerations, and abrasions and bruising on the buttocks. Dr. Dibdin opined that the cause of all these injuries was forcible sodomization with a penis. Rectal swabs and smears showed the presence of semen. Michael’s lips were also bruised on the inside, having been forced against his teeth. The cause could have been a penis being pushed into his mouth, a hand placed hard over his mouth, or both. Finally, Dr. Dibdin described a group of shallow stab wounds below Michael’s chin, caused by repeatedly jabbing with the tip of a knife, a set of straight line abrasions on Michael’s face and buttocks, suggesting a serrated knife being scraped across the skin, and four stab wounds to Michael’s buttocks and hip, one three and one-half inches deep.
The cause of death was multiple stab and incised wounds with contributing factors of anal penetration and repetitive minor injuries. From the degree of rigor mortis, Dr. Dibdin estimated Michael died 12 to 24 hours before the autopsy, or between 4:00 p.m. on May 16 and 4:00 a.m. on May 17.

Footprints matching Michael’s were found on the inside of the truck’s windshield. …
In more rational times of the past, monsters like Rhoades would typically suffer "an unfortunate hunting accident in the deep woods" (at a young age, when his psychoses first became apparent) or they would be burned as witches in the village square. Today, they are either released back into the community or, as in this case, sent to the general prison population and perhaps released from prison at some time in the near future.
With Rhoades we can hope that the stories about how hated pedophiles and child murderers are in prisons and how very poorly they are treated are true. We spend a lot of money and effort trying to elect politicians who will actually do their sworn duties and place public safety as their top priority and it is truly amazing that in so many cases we are forced to rely on the lowest of the low in prisons to cull their own.
Leftist Hollywood activists like Mike Farrell are a big reason why so many people are tuning out Hollywood and the media in general...people don't like to be told that they're evil simply for desiring safety, security and their Constitutional rights.
May God Bless the soul of Michael Lyons and may he be welcomed to the Kingdom of Heaven for eternal rest. And may God please have entirely different plans for his murderer and others like him.
In the interests of preserving civilization, wouldn't it behoove us to eliminate the monsters in our midst? It would be easy enough to label this man for his crimes (across his back) and release him into the general population - problem solved (maybe handcuff Mike Farrell to him in the process?)
