Mountain Home man arrested in Boise on child sex charge

You are a horrible man with lots of problems!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love my wonderful town of Mountain Home to be known, BUT NOT THIS WAY!! Just so that you all know, M.H. does not cultivate these kinds of sick people. This is a really nice town.

Rather than judging this man, you should be praying for him (as well as his family) during this difficult time...that might be more appropriate! Unless you are perfect and without sin that is?

yes boomer i will pray for him and his family AND all his victems , the mans track record seems to speak for itself so far as i see in this article. but you know what we are absolutly justified in our anger that someone who has a responisibility as an adult to keep children from harm would instead choose to use them in the worst way possible. he can be strung up by his balls for all i care. while hes there he can think about what hes done to those children who will suffer a life time of psychological distress in one form or another thanks to his disgusting actions. people who hurt children deserve no mercy. at least not from me , its a good thing the lord forgives because i cannot, not when it comes to children.

I agree with just1. why in the world would this man deserve to be prayed for? I'll be praying he gets what he deserves-thats a long jail sentence!

This sort of thing is a tragedy. A tragedy for the family of the victim or victims as well as the family of the suspect. My thoughts are with them.

The Wissels are a very good family and I regret to see this happen.

Sweet mug shot.

and just think, he is not on the sex offenders website and has been running around with our children without our knowledge. NICE!!!

People seem to forget that the internet allows people to be anyone and that includes our children. Personal experience, people lie about their ages and lead people on. So yes shame on the guy in trouble, but what about the possibility of the girls leading him on to think that they are older??? No one considers that it may be the girls fault just as much as it is the gentlemans. Sorry to say, but shame on the girls parents for not watching what their daughter is doing on the internet. It's a two-way street people and our 'little girls' are not as innocent as they seem to be at times.

Your right browneyedgirl, it's her fault. Just like it's the rape victim's fault for "leading them on" right??? Get serious.

As for referring to this dude as a "gentleman," that's not exactly correct. Where he's going they have precisely one word for guys like him: "Chomo"

Have fun in those showers, big guy!!!

browneyedgirl, i did consider exactly that last evening . if that is indeed what happened than yes , her parents should have been more attrentive but she definetly needs counseling , attention seeking of that type is generally a sign of deeper issues. so while she may have led him on and her parents and she clearly need help as well, he is still in trouble for trying to screw a kid. note that no one (news articles that ive seen) has even remotely implied that he was misled.

Browneyedgirl, you need to read the article again. This man THOUGHT he was going to Boise to have sex with a 12 year old girl, he was TOLD by the person who set him up, that she was a 12 year old girl. Have you seen the program called "Preditors"? It's a news show where people set up pedophiles and they go to the homes of what they think are young girls or boys, to have sex with them.

I am all for setting them up, get them exposed and let people know who and what they are. What if it really had been a 12 year old girl and he went there and really did have sex with her? Do you think a 12 year old has the capability to think rationally about something such as this? You're way wrong if you do.

This man is OBVIOUSLY a pedophile and while I don't believe he'll be picking up trash as was suggested by bazookaman, I hope that his punishment will fit this crime. He deserves jail time and a lot of it. I believe EVERY pedophile should get automatic jail time and not just a few months.

I only hope that the people of this town are able to realize that his family is NOT responsible for what he did. I don't know them, I see his face and recognize it from somewhere, I just can't tell you where because I don't remember.

Bazookaman, did you just refer to Bush as a liberal???

I can see that everyone is frustrated, I'm slightly more than frustrated I'm disguested..I know that with every law there is a fine line but the law against pedophiles can be very clear and concise. It really can't be that hard to come up with a law to get rid of these sickos! I want to know how many times you try to rehabilitate someone before you realize that every time the person gets the chance they will do it again? I do believe our tax dollars pay for that crap, I'm sorry your childhood sucked so badly that you don't know how to cope with life but by no means does that give you the right to violate my daughter/son and screw them up for life, take some pills or something.....People can, if they truly want to and are willing to, change their behavior!!!!! As for my stance on the whole thing I'm tired, I'm tired of these baby rapers and killers getting light sentences, I'm sick of paying for their incarceration and their meds. I truly believe they should be put out of our misery in the most inhumane way possible, and that hurts because I believe in GOD, but to me they are souless creatures and that is my opinion. This Country is going down hill fast, and I'm not sure we can save it. WE CITIZENS are slowly giving up our rights out of fear. This Country has turned into a tree hugging, sue happy, cesspool where a prisoner, illegal immigrant, and politician has more rights than the AMERICAN people. When the heck did that happen? WE NEED TO WAKE UP!!!!! Is it better to think for ourselves for let someone do it for us???

PS: for any of you that want to write and tell me if I don't like it here move somewhere else, save your breath and your finger strength, I love AMERICA, I love what we say we stand for, I hate that we have men and woman fighting and no one knows what it's for anymore but by GOD I support my troops 100%. I believe by taking GOD out of school and allowing people from other countries to demand of this Country when they have no constitutional right to do so opened too many doors......I think the Government is too big for it's britches and the people in it haven't had our best interests at heart for a very long time!!

Bazookaman, you need to come back to reality bro. What are you talking about? Check out this definition of a liberal and then tell me its George W.

Liberal: a person who is liberal: as a: one who is open-minded or not strict in the observance of orthodox, traditional, or established forms or ways b: an advocate or adherent of liberalism especially in individual rights.

Whatever that clown is, he sure as hell isn't an advocate of individual rights or open-minded people.

I hope no one takes this as an isolated incident. The world Wide Web is a portal for anyone to do or find anything or anyone, Parents, I can't caution enough to use parental controls and monitor your kids activities!!

My sons computer once shut of because he said "that's the Bomb"

I guess i had em set too high...

better safe than sorry i guess.

anbuh

Hmmm, interesting stuff bazookaman. Maybe you should build a time machine and travel back to the 80's so you and Ronny Reagan can travel around ridding the world of those **** liberals!!!

And for the record, the economy was the best it's been in 50 years when Clinton was in office. Put that in your pipe and smoke it...just don't inhale. :-)

I like your style, bazookaman. Though I may not always agree with your opinions, at least you can find humor in often-humorless situations.

You're absolutely right about "the lesser of two evils." I choose to abstain from voting for this very reason. The system was not supposed to be a two-party version, yet, that is what it has ultimately become. Show me a candidate that is not a millionaire, and I'll give them my vote.

I would vote for Nader but to what end? He has no chance of winning because he doesn't waste millions/billions of dollars on his campaign. It makes me sick when I think of all the better things that money could be used for instead of smear-campaigns.

As of now, I am officially adding my name (Mr. Fresh) to the 2008 ticket. I need a VP though, bazookaman. You in???

Bazookaman & Mrfresh you two are good. I have been learning very slowly about the politics of this country and the shady things that are going on.

I was very angry when the illegal immagrants marched expecting the US to give them citizenship and everything that came with it. But they didn't even have enough respect for this Country to fly it's flag. I almost lost it when I found out that they wanted to sing our National Anthem in Spanish, if feel if they want to do something to show they want to be apart of this Country they could maybe get their citizenship the leagal way and actively learn the language!! Why in the world would we as a Country stand for such disreguard for our culture and way of life? Why is our language systematically being change to incorporate Spanish? Why are we as a Country being so lenient with people who are so demanding?

I am a firm believer that the United States Constitution protects the Citizens of the United States of America, I am only now finding out that it protects anyone who is in this Country no matter the status of the individual. Which to me means all of the terrorists caught in this country are granted a trial, and put in a prison cell with a bed and fed 3 meals a day, when what should happen is an execution.

Anyway away from the rantings if you two ran for President not only would I work your campaign you would have my vote and any one else I could talk to!!!!

What excellent dialogue on this site! That is what this country is all about. I wish the paper I work for had something like this.

To Missy, thanks for the kind words but if you think I advocate that all SUSPECTED terrorists should be executed on the spot, then you are sadly mistaken. I still stand by the creed innocent until proven guilty, especially when a guy W is in charge.

You need to read up on the prisoners being held at Guitmo. They have never had a trial and most likely never will, unless it's military tribunal. Hell, they haven't even been formally charged yet. For all we know, they're being tortured daily. Sound American to you? Remember, hundreds of men who we now label "heros" were once called "terrorists." One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, as the saying goes.

To my brotha Bazookaman, I hear you on the third-party candidates. I'm all for them. But I must disagree on the idea that those who don't vote only prove they don't care one way or the other. I care enough not to vote. I know it would never happen but just imagine if everyone in this country abstained from voting? They would be forced to change the system, at least that's what I think.

The only other option I see is a full-scale revolution, something we haven't come close to in this country since the late 60s, as I understand it.

You also make an excellent point about the American Indians. How easily people forget about incidents like Wounded Knee and Trail of the Tears. Those men who massacred those people were U.S. soldiers, too. Our history has as many black marks as anyone else, people should never forget that. Just because we all of the sudden act like the world's savior, doesn't neccesarily make it so.

Ok I understand getting the fat cats out of office, I have suggested many many times that we need to put a term limit on all office postitions just like the President. I also believe we should vote a salary cap of no more than 50,000 per year!! And their retirement package oh lord I think they should have the same medical benefits as our elderly, and the same SSI or Social Security as our elderly!!

I want to know how to rally the masses and open peoples eyes?? How is it possible to make everyone see what is happening? Have you ever seen a stupid movie called They Live? Aliens inhabited the Earth and no one knew it because of some radio wave they were putting out, but Roddy Piper (WWF Wrestler) met up with a guy who had some special glasses that cut through the crap and they could see the reality, so they busted the radio waves up and showed the World the reality........ Maybe that wasn't the best example to use, but it feels like it fits!!!!

Anyway guys thanks

I'm late getting in this conversation but on the last comment it was mentioned that a few states keep voting the same idiots in. I know a LOT of people in Mass. and they know a lot of people there, and no one knows of anyone who votes for Kennedy. What does that tell you about crooked politics?

Older than the United States itself, eh bazookaman? I have the utmost respect for Marines after reading how Iraqi civilians praised their professionalism and ability to stay calm under fire.

And I agree with all of your suggestions on politics except number four. Ole George Washington had a good idea but he was not alive when the US was a perennial superpower. It's not realistic that we would be able to stay out of foreign affairs altogether. Our foreign policy, however, does need a serious overhaul.

Finally, to Missylynn: You get ultimate props for working "Rowdy" Ronny Piper into one of your posts. Good show!!!
