Is he Armenian???

"PACOIMA, Calif., 7:47 a.m. PST November 7, 2003 - Police arrested a man who they said was twice caught on Kmart surveillance video molesting boys in the store's aisles.

John Saghanejad, 38, was arrested at his Tujunga, Calif., apartment late Thursday and taken into custody on charges including kidnapping for sexual purposes. He was being held on $1.7 million bail and arraignment was set for Monday."

etc etc... you can read the rest of the story here:

Detective Malinka said she believes Saghanejad, who is married, is an Armenian citizen. He has no children.

So I don't know if they just BELIEVE this guy is Armenian or if they know for sure. All I know is this morning I was greeted with NBC's newslady going "An Armenian citizen has been arrested for the string of molestations that had police and communities worried... etc" before anything else, AN ARMENIAN CITIZEN.

I am speechless.

Mark Geragos IS armenian, and he has said as much. He has made it known, etc. Granted I dislike the fact that he is representing Scott Peterson, I still think he's good at what he does and he shouldn't be judged by the level of criminal he represents. After all whatever we do, we should do it well. Right? At any rate I don't think he'll win this case, there are too many things that make it obvious that the husband did it. And Geragos' 'satanic cult did it' defense seems a bit of a stretch to me.

as for this molester guy. I am speechless for 2 reasons.

First and foremost, if this guy IS Armenian, it is such a big disappointment, because you know how we always say oh Armenians don't do xxxx like that (for whatever bad thing we might be talking about). I know some Armenians do (like the nut who killed his ex-wife and kids and then himself ) But it's still a shock because molesting children it's SO SO SO SO wrong.

And secondly, if he's not Armenian, well announcing that much is a big problem just based on someone's assumption, don't you think?

so what are you guys saying?
ALL Armenians are angels sent from the heavens?
I don't understand...
he's criminal... and he's Armenian!
there's all kinds of liars, cheaters, rapers and killers among every nationality...
I dunno why it should be an issue and a thread topic!

[jahannam]

oh just admit it... you agree with me!
HA!

[jahannam]

wow so you do have a soft side...lol
how old r u again?
