Scouts targeted in San Diego
Homosexual, atheist activists to march on camp
September 25, 2005 A coalition of homosexual activists and atheists plan to march on a Boy Scout camp in San Diego next month demanding the organization open its membership and leadership to them.
…Beside demanding the Boy Scouts open their ranks to practicing homosexuals and atheists, the group also apparently seeks the admission of girls to the organization.
…In previous protests, the group has equated the Boy Scouts with the Ku Klux Klan. The group has attracted celebrities in its cause.
…Support for the latest protest of the Scouts by the group comes from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and some homosexual activist organizations.

Senate Considers Ban on 'Lifers' from National Cemeteries
September 25, 2005 WASHINGTON — The elderly couple, Daniel and Wilda Davis, opened their door to Russell Wayne Wagner on Valentine's Day 1994…."He took Mom and Dad and sat them on a kitchen chair, tied their hands behind their heads and put a pillowcase over their heads, stabbed them 14-15 times and then he robbed them and then he left," their son, Vernon Davis, tearfully told the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee Thursday…. The couple's great granddaughter, a papergirl, found them the next day, he said.
Wagner was convicted of the couple's murders and sentenced to two life terms with parole eligibility. When he died in prison, he was cremated and placed in the nation's premiere veterans' cemetery: Arlington National Cemetery.
…While Wagner was punished for his crime, he was rewarded with an inurnment with full military honors at Arlington Cemetery for his service as a Vietnam War veteran through a "parole loophole" in the current 1997 law dealing with who qualifies for national cemetery burial…The 1997 bill — enacted to prevent Oklahoma City bomber from being buried in a national cemetery following his execution — prevents those convicted of a federal or state capital crime and sentenced to life or death from being interred in military cemeteries. However, those convicted of a state capital crime and who are eligible for parole could be buried alongside America's heroes at Arlington.
…With the law as is, the notorious "BTK" serial killer Dennis Rader (search) could also be buried in a national cemetery. Rader received 10 consecutive life terms with a minimum of 175 years in prison, but Kansas law under which he was tried does not allow for capital punishment or a life sentence without parole. He could be given parole in Feb. 26, 2180, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections. Rader is an honorably discharged Air Force veteran.
Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Sen. Larry Craig (search), R-Idaho, pointed out this dilemma… "If the 1997 law cannot prevent the interment of a notorious serial killer, then what good is it?" said Craig.
…Both Craig and Mikulski introduced bills after the hearing to strike the "without parole" clause, prohibiting criminals sentenced to life imprisonment from burial in national cemeteries. Craig's bill also would order the removal of Wagner's remains from Arlington Cemetery.

Woman shoots at intruder
September 24, 2005 AURORA CO - Megan Alarid was out walking her dog only minutes before a tenant in her building shot at a man police say was likely a serial rapist they are seeking.
It was about 9:30 p.m. Sunday when police knocked on the 26- year-old graduate student's door. They told her that a man who had broken into a woman's apartment in the same complex eight days earlier had struck again.
…The victim of the break-in lived alone in a first-floor apartment, whose sliding-glass doors face a pond and path. The suspect apparently entered through the sliding doors, residents said.
Police said the woman heard a noise just after 9 p.m. and crouched in her room with a gun. When she saw a man's silhouette in her bedroom doorway, she fired one shot and missed. The intruder got away.
The suspect is wanted in connection with at least 13 sexual assaults, attempted sexual assaults and break-ins in Aurora, Denver and Arapahoe County that began late last year.
…"For those who don't do what's right, I believe in just punishment," Nabe said. "Like I said, too bad she missed."
