A future Plunderbund contributor

Former UN Weapons inspector Scott Ritter is in hot water again.....

The conversation with the girl allegedly took place on Feb. 7, 2009, but the police investigation investigation lasted until November. Ritter was arrested on Nov. 9 and charged with unlawful contact with a minor, criminal use of a communications facility, corruption of minors, indecent exposure, possessing instruments of crime, criminal attempt and criminal solicitation.

Ritter appeared for his preliminary hearing on Dec. 17 and waived the felony charge of unlawful contact with a minor. He remains free on $25,000 bail.

Ritter's attorney, Todd Henry, of Philadelphia, did not return several calls seeking comment Thursday.

Ritter — born William Scott Ritter Jr. — is a former Marine who reportedly met his second wife, Marina, while working as a counterintelligence officer in the former Soviet Union.

"I came to Delmar ... to put roots down, to raise a family and live a normal middle-class American life," Ritter told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2002.

A press conference on the matter to be held by the Barrett Township Police Department is scheduled for 4 p.m. Thursday. Monroe County Assistant District Attorney Michael Rakaczewski will prosecute the case.

A press release issued in November by the Barrett Township police noted that the incident wasn't the first time Ritter had been arrested on similar charges, but that he had not been formally charged.

Ritter was reportedly charged in a June 2001 sex sting in New York, but the case was dismissed. He had been charged with attempted child endangerment after arranging to meet a person he thought was a 16-year-old girl at a fast-food restaurant. The girl was actually an undercover police officer.

The New York Post reported Ritter was caught in a similar case in April 2001 involving a 14-year-old girl, but he was never charged.


First, let me offer that I think these stings are a monumental waste of time. Exactly how many actual 15 year olds are looking to hook up with a 40 plus year old? Way too many governmental resources are frittered away on crimes against no one.

Second, even though I think law enforcement has better things to do, Ritter should get time for being a monumental dumb ass; not once, not twice but three times he's been involved with one of these stings.

Three, obviously this guy has a tremendous sexual compulsion, he guess he was just born that way. I thought we proved with homosexuality that everyone has their needs yet we make Scott Ritter's illegal for a victimless crime? Maybe we should allow him to marry a computer with a 15 year old avatar on it so he can get his rocks off legally.

Oh no, the ex-offender, Uncle Hester and FlubberBuns himself might launch a massive anti gay-baiting blog blast-a-thon against you.

Damn

I want to find public records of the Plunderbund contributor's mug shots when he got arrested. Better yet, a copy of the neighborhood warning flyers (with his vital info and photo) that get sent to all his neighbors by mail.

Until then, the below site better puts the Plunderbund contributor into perspective. Enjoy

Looks like the Plunder Bums are dragging down this week's blognetnews rating for this blog.

The ranking for the week is normally above 9, but today it dropped to 4. I guess they don't want to accept the fact that taxmanblog is #1 overall.

The affidavit says that Ritter started the conversation with the girl and then for some reason showed his face on camera. The video apparently was not recorded and the officer had to recognize Ritter from the photos he saw later. It is also not clear why he gave his full name and location. Is it so that he would not be confused with other Scott or Bill Ritters? Scott Ritter seem to act very fullish for an intelligence agent, that had been previously caught in a very similar sting. Someone seems to have created a very easy case for the local police office that had only few such cases, one of which happens to be Scott Ritter. In conspirators' defense, they did not try to totally destroy Ritter, even though they could. He may not get any time at all. Yet, his reputation is badly damaged already. The smear campaign could have failed, and then no one would have heard about it. But it has succeeded and it is all over the news.

But why bother? The Iraq war is behind. This time it could be about Iran. Ritter is the only voice in the Western world arguing that Iran is not trying to acquire nuclear weapons. The talk from the previous smear campaign seems to have faded away as he did manage to get on to cable news couple times, but he was put down again. It does seem like a cycle and no one will listen to him again. The only thing missing is a war on Iran...
