Montana man arrested for allegedly waterboarding children

Montana police arrested a man on Tuesday for allegedly waterboarding four children, including two of his own, as well as making threats to “take care of everything and everyone” at a local school and for attacking his girlfriend. The Daily Missoulian reported on Friday.

William Albert Province was charged with three charges of assault on a minor, one count of partner and family member assault and felony intimidation after being arrested in Helena, Montana.

According to an affadavit, a witness caught Providence waterboarding two boys, calling it “a learning experience” for them, straddling one of them with his hand over his face and dumping water on it. When his girlfriend tried to stop him, the affadavit said, Province held her arm behind her back hard enough to break her wrist and some of her fingers.

Authorities also confirmed the witness’ allegation that Province had military-style body armor. But the witness’ report that he also possessed armor-piercing ammunition and assault rifles has not been verified.

The gun lovers like to bring up mental illness all the time, so I'm sure they would agree that this man should not ever again own a firearm.

Only $200,000 bond? I'd say too low. Great candidate for a frontal lobotomy...to cool his row...

"The affadavit (sic) also stated that besides the school, which he did not identify, Province also intended to “take care of” the local Child Protection Services office and an unidentified foster parent’s home."

This dude was taking it all the way out.

...waterboarding two boys, calling it “a learning experience” for them.

Can you imagine spending a evening having a few beers with this guy and that judge in Texas who was videotaped beating his disabled daughter with a belt?

I wonder what they'd talk about?

This isn't "torture", it's "enhanced interrogation". We need to remember, the reichwing nutcakes don't think on the same wave-lengths the rest of the world does. These ass-holes are existing in an alternate universe, where Hitler and Stalin we "OK guys", just because they broke all laws of humanity; that shouldn't matter.

Let this poor man off. This is nothing more than "the librul's bleeding hearts" trying to protect some kids that probably needed some "moral fiber" stuffed in their little innocent heads.

Such a pathetic nation of mixed up and screwed up neocon/fascists.
