Lars Larson: For God’s sake, SAY HER NAME!

The Northwest Nonsense

For the last two weeks, I’ve told you about the rape and murder of a five-year-old girl…and the double life sentence imposed on her killer.

Sahara Dwight died 16 years ago, but now her killer, Dustin Wallace, may walk out of prison decades earlier than the sentence handed down by a Judge.

The family of Sahara worked hard get the word out to the public about this outrage.

Last week, the parole board put off any release of her killer at least 10 years.

I count that as a win. But he’s supposed to be behind bars two times his life.

Here’s where I see the losses for anyone who cares about Justice.

The people that citizens pay to run Oregon’s prison system now see criminals as “Clients” and even call them “adults in custody”.

Then consider what the parole board did. As documented by journalist Pamela Fitzsimmons, at its hearing, the board instructed those who testified to only refer to the 5-year-old girl by her initials….S.D….even though her name is well known to the public.

I’ll remind you that when police deal with crimes like kidnapping, they tell the family to say the victim’s name.

Criminals like Dustin Wallace depersonalize their victims. Now, the prison system of Oregon does everything it can to cater to criminals while reducing their victims to a set of initials.

What does that tell you about criminal sympathetic parole board members and the democrat governors who have chosen them over the last 40 years.

That’s the Rose City Rap. Join me at noon on KXL for 4 hours of Honestly provocative talk. I’m Lars Larson
