Chester Stiles and The Crandon Funerals: A look at the last week in Headlines.

Chester Arthur Stiles has been making people talk. And they’ve been doing it in the comments section of the last post I wrote about him and his evil deeds. You can read all about them by clicking HERE and scrolling to the bottom of that page.

My favorite part about the conversation taking place is that we here at www.SarcasticCrime.com have a naysayer. A heckler, if you will. (Hi Brian!) If you go to that comments section for that post, you’ll meet Brian Kastel. Brian is an opinionated little tart who seems to think that we should give Chet Stiles the benefit of the doubt and not form our opinions based on what we know. He thinks we should wait until a jury brings back a verdict, and even then with all he’s written, I have to believe that if and when Chester Stiles’s verdict comes back guilty, Brian will be one of those people who sits back and clucks about how he was railroaded, and wasn’t allowed a fair trial. Brian will sit around his table in the garden with his closest girlfriends and talk about how bad it was that Chester received anything but fair and square justice.

But, the thing is, how fair does Chester Stiles deserve? Brian thinks that we’re having our opinions fed to us by sensational media and a police department salivating over fame and glory. I’m not so sure. I, personally think that Las Vegas Metro PD needed to know who the people were on that tape. I think they released it for very good reasons. I think that it was unneccesary to release the whole thing. The thing that they did say is that the little girl was raped in every way possible.

Chester Stiles, who has been positively ID’d on the tape deserves life in prison for this event. He deserves another life sentence for the second girl he molested. I don’t need or want to see that tape to believe law enforcement on this. We know what, who, when, where and all we’re missing is why. And, with the why, I can take a stab at it, but I don’t think it’s really necessary wehn you have the other 4 elements. Motive in sexual molestation cases is almost always self serving, and almost always a sickness that will continue, rather than a one time occurrence or event.

For those saying that he deserves time in prison to learn his lesson, and then be released back into society, I don’t think so. I want to ensure the safety of my kids from him, that’s for damn sure. You can do your best to get them psychological help. You can do your best to try to reform them. But, the attraction to children isn’t something that is ever going to just magically go away. That, in my opinion is like saying that one day, my sexual orientation towards liking the opposite sex is just going to disappear. It’s not likely. It’s hard wired into my system. And, since I happen to like the 18 and older crowd (or the gainfully employed with a decent head on their shoulders and a little bit of experience in life crowd), my fascination with that demographic is perfectly healthy and normal according to society and what we put up with.

We also have here, the woman who ID’d him on the tape, who will be known here at www.sarcasticcrime.com as Jane Smith to protect her identity. I will be speaking with her tonight to get more details of Chester’s life and what led up to this and will write and publish an article edited and approved by her on Saturday or Sunday, so keep checking back.

The Crandon Funerals are beginning today. Aaron Smith’s funeral will be first. Aaron was 20 years old. The other six funerals will take place over the next several days, ending with Tyler Peterson’s funeral out of respect for the rest of the victims.

The other victims in this case are: Jordanne Murray, age 18, Brad Schultz, age 20, Lianna Thomas, age 18, Katrina McCorkle, age 18, Lindsay Stahl, age 14, and Charlie Nietzel, age 21 who survived and remains hospitalized in stable condition.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to print a correction. I originally reported that Tyler forced law enforcement to fatally shoot him. That was before the facts were 100% checked and released, and that’s not what happened. Tyler had a gunshot wound to his arm, and was in a position with law enforcement that caused him to either fight or give up. Tyler, put the gun to his head, and fired three times. It was Tyler Peterson who took his own life. Which is better, I guess than making his fellow law enforcement officers do it in a suicide by cop scenario.
