Self-described Skinheads are often times difficult to understand. Sometimes they are racist, sometimes they are as far from bigoted as a person can get. Sometimes they make pancakes with syrup, sometimes they don't. And as with Jeremy Moody (no pun intended, he just has an ironic last name), sometimes they hunt down and take out sex offenders.
Moody and his wife were charged with murder in a community 80 miles north of Columbia South Carolina. His wife, Christine, had told deputies that while the first kill was random, her hubby-stuff had planned to take out others on the state's registry list.
Moody And His Wife
Moody had slain 59-year-old Charles Parker. Surveillance video shows the outlaw couple walking into Parker's place of residence with what are thought to be weapons (a fairly understandable assumption, considering the murder and all). Parker and his wife had been found shot up and stabbed to death. His wife is thought to be a victim of association, rather then an actual target. Evidently the Parker's Sign outside stating "Smile You're On Camera" was not a very effective means of security.
While I don't believe an act of murder against a sex offender is right. I do believe the amount of sympathy for the dead offender is another show of our Rape-Culture. And frankly, we need some more people like this. But perhaps with a little less homicide, you know, put the passion into something more productive. Because even if your heart is in the right place, you're useless to us all as a number in a cell.
The "Skinhead" tattoo on Moody's neck lead to a slight investigation, but there is no evidence suggesting that he is a white-nationalist or part of any other bigot groups. The same can not be said for the Sex Offender who probably raped someone (it's not uncommon) nor the police who arrested the wannabe Vicky and Vance.
-Arrrooo!
