Christian Children's Entertainer Who Wanted to Eat Kids Gets 20 Years

A Christian puppeteer who regularly used his long-running Christian Television Network show to warn children about the sin of pornography was sentenced this week to 20 years behind bars for possession of child pornography.

More troubling still is Largo, Florida resident Ronald William Brown's involvement in an alleged conspiracy to kidnap, cook, and eat a child whom he met through his affiliation with the Gulf Coast Church.

Brown, 58, was a leader in the church's Puppet Ministry program for kids, and would regularly interact with the congregation's youngest members. Local authorities say Brown and his co-conspirator Michael Arnett chatted online about targeting a specific child for their sinister cannibalistic plan.

"I imagine him wiggling and then going still," Brown reportedly told Arnett in one of their many chats.

Brown would often solicit obscene images of children being tied up, gagged, or otherwise harmed.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew my unit ran Recovery Center Number 1, right across the road from a middle school. We built a stage, and entertainers came down to amuse the kids that were in our camp.

The worst one of the lot was this Bible thumper who told the kids the hurricane was their fault because they didn't obey their parents and didn't pray hard enough. No, I'm not kidding: this man told little kids that they were responsible for the worst hurricane in the history of hurricanes.

I don't remember the asshole's name but this is something he would do.

I remember many years ago the case in Oregon where two girls were kidnapped and one was buried under a cement slab. There's no telling what he might have done.

escalating appetites for violence isn't true for some people.

Or if there isn't a creepy variation of THE SCREWFLY SOLUTION going on in real life.

to investigate the guy. But no one would do it because Gacy was such a pillar of the community. And then, of course, it eventually came out that he'd killed over 30 young males, right under everybody's nose practically.

The whole faith is centered on symbolic, ritualistic cannibalism as it is.

Geez, I don't think ADX Florence is anywhere near this level of severity.
