doctor, I was a sex machine
inventor, swinger, BDSM master,
porn actor and producer for
14 years, so I’ve seen it all,” Van
Thiel wrote on his site.
Things fell apart on Oct. 2,
when Van Thiel, 52, was arrested
and detained at the Clark County
Detention Center on state charges
of practicing medicine without
a license, possession of a firearm
by a felon, possession of
illegal drugs, and illegally providing
drugs. They got worse a
few weeks later when prosecutor
Marc DiGiacomo said he intends
to seek murder charges against
Van Thiel, on the theory that
medical care dispensed by someone
who isn’t a licensed physician
shows “reckless disregard for
human life.” It could be months
before those charges are filed.
Van Thiel has represented
himself in numerous past actions,
but it appears that the murder
charge drove him into the
arms of actual licensed attorneys.
Even they couldn’t help,
however. Describing Van Thiel
as a person who “seems to present
more of a danger to the community
than a serial murderer,”
Las Vegas Justice of the Peace
Ann Zimmerman rejected public
defender Steve Lisk’s request
to set bail at $20,000, and pegged
it instead at $1 million. ▲
Stone Mountain, Georgia
Nov. 14, 2015
About 40 so-called “flaggers” gathered at the nation’s largest Confederate memorial to protest
a proposal by state officials to add a “Freedom Bell” dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr. to the
monument. The demonstration was promoted in advance by the International Keystone Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the League of the South, an assortment
of antigovernment “Patriot” groups, and Defend Stone Mountain, which apparently was created
just for the protest and lambasted the “traitors” who were seeking to “tarnish” the site. The idea
of erecting the monument to the slain civil rights leader comes from a line in his famous “I Have a
Dream” speech — “Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.” Stone Mountain is known
for huge sculptures carved into the side of the mountain that depict Confederate heroes Robert E.
Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis, and also was the site of the Nov. 25, 1915, birth of the
“second era” Klan. The sculpture was planned and started by Gutzon Borglum, who also created
the Mount Rushmore monument to U.S. presidents and was a leading member of the Klan, which
helped finance it. The recent protest there was one of more than 350 in support of Confederate
symbols that followed attacks on the Confederate battle flag, which had been embraced by racist
mass murderer Dylann Roof.
