Radical fathers' rights advocate Steve Hutchings wrote the following comment to the Rocky Mountain News as a response to my recent co-authored column 'Duped dads' bill could foster closer ties (2/7/07):

"'Child support' is code for alimony. Custodial egg donors and State Attorney Generals hide behind law enforcement to steal money by proxy. They are all cowards and racketeers. What upsets me more though is how many Fathers tolerate it, and how much money they waste on futile legal efforts (attorneys = racketeer) when they should take matters into their own hands.

"Unfortunately the only way to protect our children and next generation of fathers from bondage and restore justice is through a zero tolerance approach (bloodshed), like fallen hero Herbert Chalmers did when Attorney General of Missouri refused to stop stealing (known as garnishing) his wages for children that were not his. Every Father that fights, refuses and resists injustice ..... is part of the solution..."

Great--the mentally-imbalanced "radicals" at the extreme end of the fathers' rights movement have a new hero.

First it was Darren Mack, a despicable Nevada father who, unhappy with his family law case, stabbed and murdered his estranged wife and attempted to murder a judge. Now it's Herbert Chalmers, a child support obligor who went postal after being treated horribly by child support enforcement in Missouri.

Chalmers killed several people before killing himself. Chalmers certainly had reason for his rage but what he did was inexcusable under any circumstances, and hardly makes him a "fallen hero."  

Who's the next "hero" for these loonies--Tony Camacho?
