One Democrat's Fight for Women's Rights

The Democrat Lifestyle™
William Costello was a serial rapist and a Colorado Democrat.

But I repeat myself.

Costello, 47, was arrested in July 2012 after he assaulted an old man in the parking lot of a Denver supermarket. Everett Stadig, 69, was collecting signatures on a pro-life petition in front of King Sooper grocery store when he encountered Costello. According to reports, Costello told Stadig he “didn’t have a right to be here,” “shouted obscenities” and “said he believes in abortion.” Costello then shoved the senior citizen to the ground, causing Stadig to break his hip.

You stay classy, Colorado Democrats!

Costello was charged with felony assault in that incident and, under a new law that went into effect in 2011, police got Costello’s DNA. “Katie’s Law” requires police to take DNA samples from anyone charged with a felony. In less than a year, Katie’s Law resulted in more than 70,000 DNA samples being sent to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and these samples produced nearly 400 “hits” — DNA matches to evidence in unsolved crimes. Costello’s DNA produced four of those hits, which is to say he committed about 1% of the first 400 crimes solved by Katie’s Law. . .
Suspected Denver serial rapist has ties to high-profile Democrats The suspected serial rapist linked by DNA to three sexual attacks on strangers — one of whom was a 13-year-old girl — also has close ties to some of the state’s high-profile Democratic politicos.
When William Costello was arrested in Bayfield on Nov. 5, he was volunteering to drop off yard signs at a Durango campaign office and was driving the car of a top political strategist, police records show.. . .
Prosecutors have charged him with multiple counts of sexual assault, kidnapping and impersonating a police officer, according to affidavits . . .
The news astounded many respected members of the community, said former Gov. Dick Lamm, whose son befriended Costello when they attended Denver’s East High School together. . . .
It was go-to Democratic political consultant Mike Stratton’s new SUV that Costello was driving when the Bayfield Marshals and the FBI pulled him over the morning of Nov. 5.
I'm trying to figure out what the lesson is here, but I'm not sure there is one. Costello, a presumptive serial rapist and child molester, was so incensed by an old geezers opposition to abortion that he beat him up in public, and ended up revealing his own crimes against women. Surely that's a indication that he's a true believer (and one with exceedingly poor impulse control).

It's certainly not proof that all pro-abortion democrats are serial rapists. but it is an indication that somehow the "fight for women's rights" is not always fully consistent with their actions. But then, of course, it's not only democrats who occasionally act contrary to their stated political opinions.

I guess we'll never know what as going on in his head, though, as Costello committed suicide:
March 6, 2014 — A man once linked to top Democratic politicians in Colorado apparently committed suicide early Thursday, hours before he was due back in court for his trial on charges he raped three women and a 13-year-old girl.

William Burton Costello was due in Denver District Court on Thursday morning for a second day of testimony. The court declared a mistrial after learning that he was found in the 2800 block of Brighton Boulevard, said Denver District Attorney’s spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough.

“We explained to the victims in the case that he had committed suicide,” Kimbrough said.
Sadly, he probably left the world a slightly better place.
