Vigilante Stupidity
BELLINGHAM, Wash. - A man turned himself in to authorities in the killing of two convicted child rapists, saying he picked the victims from a sheriff’s Web site, police said.
Michael Anthony Mullen, 36, called 911 on Monday to claim responsibility for the killings, and officers who talked to him said he gave information that only the killer would know, according to a police news release. He was jailed for investigation of two counts of first-degree murder.
Hank Eisses, 49, and Victor Vasquez, 68, were found shot to death at their apartment Aug. 27. They were both classified as Level III sex offenders, considered the type most likely to reoffend. Sex offenders in Washington are required to register with local authorities, and the information is provided on the Web.
Mullen told authorities he targeted at least one of the two men after checking the county sheriff’s Web site July 13, according to the police statement.
The bodies of Eisses and Vasquez were found by a roommate, also a sex offender. He said a man wearing a blue jumpsuit and a cap that said FBI on it came to their home, told them he was an FBI agent and said one of them was on a “hit list” on an Internet site, police said.
The roommate said he left while the “FBI” visitor was still there and found the bodies when he returned about four hours later.
Days after the killings, The Bellingham Herald received an unsigned letter claiming responsibility for the killings. Police notified convicted Level 3 sex offenders in the area as a precaution, but said the letter was vague and could be a hoax.
That last sentence should be a hoax. Why would you warn the sex offenders. I can see the murderer's point. I mean he only went after the ones they let out regardless of the fact that there was no hope for them and their chances of reoffending were great. In this state the bastards were breaking the law by being in the same house together. Pop em, no big loss.
The sad part of this story, and I do mean the ONLY part that makes me feel bad is that they may stop publishing the addresses of these freaks and I wont know where they are. That puts the rest of us in jeopardy. The guy coulda popped em and shut his damn mouth. So much for a great idea in the hands of an idiot.
