Former NeoNazi/Skinhead Fights for Boone County Fathers While Blasting Mothers

with one comment

Well, it seems Stuart Showalter, from Boone County Fathers, has a radical background.  He has the nerve to blame Angie Warnock for her own death because she sought and received Protective Orders to protect herself from her violent husband.  It is common for violent, abusive leaders that populate these father’s groups to yell the loudest.  (Unfortunately good fathers get recruited into these groups too).  And when they yell, they throw in the “parental alienation” claim in it.  Stuart claims to have the ear of Governor Mitch Daniels, and legislators on both sides of the isle…I would think with his continued rhetoric to protect violent men and blame the moms would be a red flag for who ever is talking to him.  See appellate decision below:

933 F.2d 573

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Stuart W. SHOWALTER, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 90-1361.

United States Court of Appeals,
Seventh Circuit.

Argued Oct. 29, 1990.
Decided May 30, 1991.

Robert M. Barnes, Susan E. Heckard, Asst. U.S. Attys., Indianapolis, Ind., for plaintiff-appellee.

Daniel J. Coffey, Indianapolis, Ind., for defendant-appellant.

Before CUDAHY, RIPPLE, and MANION, Circuit Judges.

MANION, Circuit Judge.

1Stuart Showalter pleaded guilty to possession of an unregistered firearm in violation of 26 U.S.C. Sec. 5861(d). He appeals the length and conditions of his supervised release. We remand for resentencing because the length of supervised release exceeds the amount authorized by statute, but affirm the conditions of Showalter’s supervised release imposed by the district court.I.

2Showalter headed an Indianapolis organization called the “Pure American Freedom Party,” which was loosely associated with other white supremacist “skinhead” and “neo-Nazi” groups in Indiana and around the United States. Showalter, then 20 years old, was prominently featured in a July 1989 article in the Indianapolis Monthly magazine called “Skinhead Society: Should a Local Group of Neo-Nazis be Feared, Tolerated or Ignored?” The article described the weaponry in Showalter’s apartment, and discussed the group’s potential for committing acts of violence. This publicity apparently brought him to the attention of his landlords, who sought to evict him from his apartment (in a predominantly black neighborhood) for late payment of rent and violation of the lease by having too many occupants. Showalter failed to leave on time, and was seen outside the apartment brandishing a weapon, so the police were called in to assist in his departure. When he failed to respond to their request to drop his gun and come out, the police broke in and arrested him and another occupant.

Gender-based violence: Special rapporteur appointed

Posted: 11 Jul 2009 10:25 AM PDT

The United Nations Human Rights Council (photo below) approved Rashida Manjoo’s appointment as the new UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women its Causes and Consequences on 18 June 2009, according to a UN press release. Manjoo (above, photo credit) is a leading gender rights, anti-apartheid, and social justice advocate. The Special Rapporteur’s mandate, established in 1994, and extended in 2003, is to investigate, and to make recommendations at international, regional, and national levels on ending, gender-based violence (GBV).

Often treated as a marginal issue by governments, GBV is a global phenomenon and impacts people at all levels of society. It occurs in every country and culture and takes a range of forms, including the following:

►Family Violence: domestic violence/honor killings, female genital cutting, violently enforced appearance regulation, female infanticide, and abuses against girls, elders, and women with disabilities;

►Violence in the Community: rape, trafficking in women and girls, lack of access to reproductive health care, forced sterilization, the misuse of medical techniques to “control” women, and violence aimed at preventing the education of girls;

►State Violence and State-condoned Violence: GBV against women in detention, the use of rape, forced pregnancy, and other forms of sexual violence as weapons of war or armed conflict.

Groundbreaking international human rights instruments such as the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women and General Recommendation No. 19 (issued by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women) elaborate on the significant roles states and private actors must play in ending GBV.

Manjoo, an Advocate of the High Court of South Africa, served on that country’s constitutionally-prescribed Commission on Gender Equality from 2001 to 2006. She held research and teaching positions in international human rights law and advocacy and family law as a Clinical Instructor and Visiting Fellow at Harvard Law School’s Human Rights Program and as the E. Desmond Lee Visiting Professor for Global Awareness at Webster University. Manjoo writes and speaks extensively on women’s rights and other social justice issues.

A member of the international board of Women Living Under Muslim Laws, she is an internationally-recognized expert on the implications of cultural and religious context for gender rights and the socio-economic status of women and girls.

Rashida Manjoo is the third Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, following the appointments of Dr. Radhika Coomaraswamy (Sri Lanka) in 1994, and Dr. Yakin Ertürk (Turkey) in 2003.

IntLawGrrls look forward to a continued international spotlight on GBV and to the realization of a safer and more peaceful world for all.

Look On! "Reckoning" on the ICC

Posted: 11 Jul 2009 03:02 AM PDT

(Look On! takes occasional note of noteworthy films.) Stay home for the national television premiere on Tuesday night, 14 July – or better yet, host a gathering. Or, if you’re in Washington, D.C., go to the event sponsored by the American Society of International Law the night before. Whatever you do, do see “The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court” on PBS. You can find the details for all these viewing options in Diane’s post below. In this post, I’ll focus on the film itself.

I’ve just previewed "The Reckoning" on DVD, courtesy of director Pamela Yates (below left) — who contacted me after seeing my January Look On! post about another Sundance Film Festival selection, Lisa F. Jackson’s "The Greatest Silence." So I can vouch for the impact of this new film.

It will have you on the edge of your seat, following two simultaneous dramas – the Court’s first investigations and prosecutions of unspeakable crimes, and the Court’s own struggle to survive. It opens with the unduckable question:

Does humanity have the possibility of doing better than this?

The film then moves back and forth between killing fields, Nuremberg, Rome, The Hague, Uganda, Congo, Colombia, Darfur. Ninety minutes goes very, very quickly.

In her Filmmaker’s Statement, after describing the Court itself as the protagonist in "The Reckoning," Yates tells us:

Tax Funded Violence

 

Tax Funded Violence

 

The History of the Lone Fathers Associationis enough outrage to understand as to why organizations that promote the support of"falsely accused fathers" are a liability to the government, the community and society.

Australia’s laxed attitude, "She’ll be right" is falling through the cracks as another child is laying in a hospital bed suffering horrendous injuries. The fathers body was found dead on a Victorian property. He was to face court the following day. Mandatory reporting is merely one portion of this crack, whilst another part of this is rarely examined.

Dads in Distress goes beyond the realms of supporting fathers when they provide abuse excusers information that can be obtained from their website. Its called, "Parent Alienation Syndrome" a form of junk science developed by DR Richard Gardner who has been largely discredited by the scientific community due to theexplicit child abuse supportive attitudes he exhibited in his books on the subject.

They regularly mislead the public to believing that dads are at the highest rate of suicide when in fact the highest rate is young indigenous males emerging from family violence ridden communities. Instead of attempting to deal with the obvious aspects of family violence as a gendered problem, they have a statement written on the front page of their website:

"The Dads in Distress organization believes domestic violence is non gender specific and as such promotes the awareness amongst its members and clients that the safety of all parties of divorce or separation be paramount and in the best interests of the children"

Facsia has taken a major backflip in supporting families. In reality, they are pouring government funds into mens programs that

could have been used to help children suffering from family violence. Instead, programs specializing in family violence are

sparse. It is also noteworthy to add that there are no support services specifically for women unless there is family violence and even then

services for victims post separation are limited. The mens groups called it "the domestic violence industry", which has now reaped its true meaning:

1. Men Rights are making a mint off false allegations propaganda that the most recent research has stated that mostly fathers are guilty of and the statistics are extremely low.

2. Dispute Resolution centers are making a killing off intimidating victims into dangerous consent agreements.

3. Counsellors are making a fortune offering "therapy" for the abuse – excuse syndrome.

4. Family Court practitioners can guarantee their income when they reverse custody to the abuser.

5. In recent times, it has become politically favorable to appear supporting the interests of the mens movements, after all a majority of the leadership consists of men.

6. As the cycle continues into yet another generation of family violence, so does the guaranteed retirement of all the above.

One of the latest developments of the mens groups is the recent changes of the coroners bill in NSW, the only state in Australia that has a domestic violence homicide review team.

Under the guise of some concocted speeches of sentiments regarding suicide, were changes that gave families more authority over the investigations of the coroners court of cases

that are not deemed, "suspicious". Yet some homicides are not immediately obvious and do require further forensic investigations. Some include strangulation, baby shaken syndrome and

smothering. The "family member" who makes such a decision could very well be the perpetrator and as the dead cannot talk.

It sold in such a way as the shared parenting bill did, "to reduce paperwork and hold up of the courts", but again the devil is in the detail and the "suspicious deaths are in the same

hands of those who work with mens groups leaders to arrive at the scene of domestic violence call outs – the police.
