No mention of gender. That was found unconstitutional.
The English language is not unconstitutional, Dumber.
 
A search warrant for 1207 WestSunset Drive, Davis Carpenter’s residence, was executedby
detectives of the Rogers Police Department. During the searchof the residence, Detectives
recovered numerous small green pills,from the living room and bedroom, various bottles of
prescriptionmedicine, including the controlled substance amitryptiline, a knownheavy sedative
commonly used to treat depression. Also located inthe living room, were a mirror with several
of the green pills,and a small quantity of off white colored powder suspected tobe
methamphetaminc. Numerous items of evidence were recovered fromthe bedroom, including
two cucumbers, one of which was coveredwith what appeared to be petroleum jelly, the other
having whatappeared to be fecal matter on it. Also located in the bedroom was atube-shaped
sausage, as well as a crushed banana. A plasticdisposable douche bottle with the applicator
secured in place withduct tape was found amongst numerous items used in bondage.The
bondage items included numerous belts, large quantities ofduct tape and strapping tape,
handcuffs, nylon rope, what appearedto be a rubber jumprope, and electrical cord. Detectives
located amass of items which included used duct tape, what appeared to be ashirt, a pair of
men’s brief underwear, and a bandana, which,according to a statement by Defendant Josh
Brown, were used to gagand blindfold the victim during the rape. Numerous containersof
petroleum jelly were found throughout the residence.

In the living room, detectives discovered a computer and related equipment that was still
running.When the monitor was turned on, a program entitled “Medical Drug Reference 4.0” was
running on the computer.

The search also revealed a piece of paper on which a note was written to “Baby.” (Investigation
has revealed that Carpenter refers to Brown as “Baby.”) In the upper right hand of the note are
listed three types of prescription pills.

The text of the note refers tomaking a male (“him”) take “those pills.” It then refersto
positioning pillows beneath the male in a certain way. Adifferent portion of the same piece of
paper says to tell “him”not to fight or else for the next “14 hours” he will be sexuallyassaulted.
The search also revealed another note, addressed to anunnamed person, which refers to a piece
of meat being inserted inthat person’s anus. The note also refers to “Davis” engaging insexual
intercourse with “you blindfolded on pills.” There isalso a note addressed to “Baby” that refers
to “duct tape inplace.”

The search further revealed a hand-drawn diagramdepicting a person on a bed.
There are notations that refer topillows, “tape all the way around,” “face down,” the buttocksof
the person “raised app. 2 feet.” Another note was found inthe kitchen area addressed to “baby”,
and states “couldcause serious damage-back to 3” sticking out and duct tape inplace.”
The search also revealed a five-page letter addressed“Hey Baby.” The letter is signed by
“Davie.” In theletter, “Davie” describes seeing “Baby’s” “little 10 yearold blond whore” at her
bus stop in the morning. “Davie”graphically describes how he can envision “Baby” engagingin
various sexual acts with her.

The search also revealedhandwritten texts on a legal pad. In those texts, the writerdescribes a
man making a “fine crushed white powder” from “thesmall oddly purple colored pill.” The
writer describes himcutting the pill in ¼ sections so that he would have “enough to dothis again
in 4 hours or so, if he needed (or wanted!).” He thendescribes the man giving a nine year old girl
a glass of milk withthe pill powder mixed in. The writer then writes of the man laughingout
loud “knowing in 20 minutes the pill dust he’d added wouldrender her helpless and drunk…” He
then describes in detailthe man having the girl first masturbate and then perform oral sexon
him.

Also found on the kitchen table wasa receipt from the Price Cutter Food Warehouse dated
September 26,1999, at ‘0307’ hours. Items purchased on the receipt includedtape for $3.18,
“Eckrich” for $2.50, two cucumbers for $1.00and “meat dept.” for $2.61. A package containing
one sausagewas found in the refrigerator and was labeled “Eckrich.” Thesausage found in the
package was consistent in appearance with thesausage found in the bedroom.

A detailed interview was conductedat the Rogers Police Department with defendant Josh Brown
onSeptember 27th, 1999 by Detective Sergeant Hayes Minor. Brown toldSgt. Minor that he and
the victim had been sexually involved forapproximately two months. Brown described the
sexual acts as“games” and “playing: with the victim. He said that the morningof the victim’s
death, he had performed anal sex on the victimfor the first time. In sex acts up until this point,
Brown saidhis penis had never penetrated the victim’s anus. Brown told Sgt.Minor that on this
occasion he used his fingers, his penis, acucumber, a sausage, a banana and a douche bottle to
anallypenetrate the victim while the victim was immobile due to thebindings.

Brown was questioned about Carpenter’s involvementduring the rape and told Sgt. Minor that
Carpenter stood in thedoorway of the bedroom, naked, and watched Brown and the victimwhile
he (Carpenter) masturbated. Brown was also asked about thenotes that were found in the
residence. When asked about the notefound in the kitchen addressed to “Baby” and stating
“Couldcause serious damage-back to 3” sticking out and duct tape inplace”, Brown stated that
as he was using the cucumber topenetrate the victim’s anus, Carpenter stood in the doorway
tryingto get his (Brown’s) attention without having to speak. When Brownwalked to Carpenter,
Carpenter showed him the note indicating thathe should not put the entire cucumber in the
victim’s anus as itmay harm him. Brown stated he returned to the victim and duct tapedthe
cucumber in place as it penetrated the victim’s anusapproximately one half inch.

Brown was also shown the diagram thatdepicts a person bound to a bed, much the same way
Brown describedthe victim. He stated that the drawing was completed by Carpenter ona much
earlier date. When asked about Carpenter’s knowledge ofBrown’s and the victim’s sexual
activities, Brown stated thatCarpenter had walked in on the two in the past. After thatoccasion,
Brown stated that he and Carpenter talked aboutCarpenter watching as the victim and Brown
participated in sexualacts.

Brown was also questioned about the receipt he found in theresidence from the Price Cutter
Food Warehouse dated September26th, 1999, at 0307 hours. Brown told Sgt. Minor that
Carpenterhad gone to the store alone and purchased the items, some of whichwere used during
the rape of the victim.

On September 27th,1999, an autopsy was conducted on the victim by the ArkansasState
Medical Examiner. Preliminary results of the autopsyindicate the victim died of “positional
asphyxia.”

A checkof Davis Carpenter’s prior record shows no known prior convictionsat this time. During
conversations held with Det. Sgt. Minor,Carpenter stated that he had lived in 26 different states,
andknew people in all 50 states.

Carpenter apparently has limitedfamily in Springdale, Arkansas, but has lived out of stateon
numerous occasions. Further investigation revealed that in thepast two years, Carpenter and
Brown have lived in at least threedifferent states, including Florida. A records check of Joshua
Brownreveals no known prior convictions. Joshua Brown also has no knownties to the
Northwest Arkansas area.

Based on the seriousnessof the offense, the substantial likelihood of conviction, the natureof the
penalty that may be imposed, and the substantial risk offlight, the State joins me in requesting
that the Defendants,Davis Don Carpenter, DOB:08-02-61, and Joshua Macave Brown, DOB:6-
7-77, be held without bond for the offenses of Capital Murder,Class Y Felony, Arkansas Code
Annotated 5-10-101; and Rape, ClassY Felony (6 COUNTS), Arkansas Code Annotated 5-14-
103.

NOTARY PUBLIC

Even the faggots own surveys show they average around 8 sexual liaisons per year while being 'married'.
 
Let’s see. The SCOTUS made a ruling a number of years ago that said gay people’s rights to equal protection were being violated. And your vast constitutional knowledge says there was not a single instance of that.

That’s a special kind of stupid, Festus. Congrats
Nothing about gay people's rights is being violated.
Nothing prevents a gay person from getting married.

Marriage is not possible between two of the same gender.
 
... which is an impossibility.

Nope. That is, by definition, an impossibility. Marriage is a holy union between a man and a woman (one in which procreation can result, in principle). By definition, two people of the same sex cannot be married (as such a union cannot result in procreation, in principle).

The best one can do regarding "same-sex" is a "civil union" in which two people of the same sex are legally treated as a married couple would be treated. Feel free to imitate marriage all you want, but a "civil union" is not equivalent to a marriage as it cannot, in principle, bear any fruit (children).

You cannot change natural order via law.
They think unnatural is natural.
 
Nothing about gay people's rights is being violated.
Nothing prevents a gay person from getting married.

Marriage is not possible between two of the same gender.

The fad is now dying out. They've learned about divorce and 'community property' n stuff', so the rich ones are not marrying their live in prostitutes so much now.
 
Again the scotus once legally sanctioned slavery but hang your hat it. What they do may be legal but it doesn't make it right or just. The law never prevented a gay person from marrying someone of the opposite sex. Unless of course you can provide that
I see you are resorting to silly arguments.
If the law only allows persons to own and carry a single shot weapon of any kind that would be OK with you based on your logic since the law wouldn't restrict them from having a gun but only restrict it to a certain kind.
 
Those men were able to marry any woman who they loved. Nobody stopped them from doing so.

Now (with both persons being male) you're no longer discussing marriage. A "civil union", perhaps?

Nope, it wasn't about marriage at all. Those men weren't the slightest bit interested in marriage. They were, instead, interested in "civil union".

Republicans, at the time, were generally opposed to "civil unions", not so much the "civil unions" in and of themselves, but more-so the very predictable snowball effect that would result from it, such as the LGBTQLMNOPALPHABETSOUP+ supremacy movement of the present day.

Both the aforementioned supremacy movement and the contract killing supremacy movement need to GO.

And who decides whether it is a marriage or a civil union?
