   I’m remindered that Maryland is the state what tried to strip Linda Tripp of her freedom and throw her ass in jail and steal her monies for coming forward about how Bill Clinton was behaving like an undignified slut.

   One thing about this is that the “Speedway bombings” could be thought of as second derivative crimes. They were crimes committed to to help cover a crime which was committed to enable a possibly criminal offense to continue without exposure or other hindrance.

   So according to Singer and the Indianapolis Star, the police’s theory went like this (this whole paragraph is based on their claims): Kimberlin starts having this questionable relationship with the very young Jessica Barton. Of course one can only speculate whether anyone’s suspicions were valid, but according to witnesses (besides Kimberlin who denies this) Julia Scyphers suspected something was seriously wrong and was very vocal about it. Then someone gunned Scyphers down, and a lead suspect was a Kimberlin associate. According to Singer and the Star, the police suspected this was a murder-for-hire ordered by Kimberlin himself. Mind you, none of this could ever be proven, but it was what the police suspected, according to those sources. And shortly after that, the Speedway bombings began—the police believing that these bombings were done to distract from their Scyphers investigation—all according to Singer and the Star.

   Which I admit makes very little sense. I mean if you believe the theory attributed by Singer and the Star to the police, he tries to get away with a crime by… committing other crimes? But that hits on an important point. As I have said to several people when explaining this, it is useless to try to make sense of his conduct. All one can do is recognize the conduct he has engaged in. But I believe that explaining the workings of his mind in a way that makes sense is impossible—because I believe that he does not think like a rational person.

   Pretty much, geoffb. Kimberlin seems like one of those guys in a ’70s sitcom who wants to keep his landlord from finding out he punched a hole in the drywall, so by the end of the episode he’s burned down half the city.

   I half suspect the child-molest grooming was to cover up something else; if someone could follow it all the way back they’d find it all started when he stole a cigarette from Mom’s purse.

   Geoff, from your links it appears that the majority of Kimberlin’s crimes were commited 30+ years ago and he has/had many known associates. It would be interesting to know if he has kept in touch with them (verboten when on parole) or groomed a new bunch or if he was only a pawn and a patsy and not the big kahuna he tries to make himself out to be.

   It should be fairly easy to pop him on some kind of minor beef and put him under the hot lights.

   I ordered Singer’s book which brings the tale into the 90s.

   Leigh, he was in prison from 1983 to 2000, served 17 years of a 50 year sentence. Scroll to the “Things That Are Not True” section at TOM for a few of his activities since 2000.

   Cripes. This Kimberlin guy is obviously a scoff-law and a danger to others. Who the heck sprung him from prison and why after only 17 years? I’ll bet he was a “model prisoner” and accrued good-time and they sent out to kill some more people.

    The fact that his progressive brethren have his back is sickening to me. Hell, “we” wouldn’t even stand up for Derbyshire, and he was merely expressing some opinions backed by linked facts he’d culled (the conclusions drawn from which could be debated). These guys will send big fat checks to a dude they likely know exists solely to harass people on the right — a guy with a (previously) publicized history that is easy enough to find via a simple Google search.

    Yeah, them. Progressive, my shiny metal ass. Nazis, all of them.
