Ryan Anthony Allen Gets 15 Years for "Worst Case of Child Abuse"

This is Ryan Anthony Allen in a selfie taken last month:

He doesn't seem too concerned about anything, does he? Well, we bet he is now.

This is Noah Pounders, the two-month old child Ryan Allen abused until it was doubtful he would live:

Ryan has claimed he was in a relationship with the child's mother; the mother says he was simply watching the child. Tony Logan says it was the “worst case of child abuse he had ever seen."

Now Allen has taken a plea which netted him a 15 year sentence on a Class B Felony. In other words, if he's good, he'll complete his sentence in five years and be eligible for parole in as little as 20 months. Noah Pounders is forced to endure a life sentence of brain injuries that can't completely be cured.

We'll publish Allen's AIS# and other data when it's available.

Trivia for the day: Anyone remember who Jackie Coogan was? A little known fact from his early adulthood was that he took part in the lynching of the kidnapper/murderers of his best friend, an LA department store heir.

It's not for us to say what some miscreants deserve, but thoughts do cross our mind...

Revisiting Some Recent Blogs

We recently blogged on Martini's Bar and Lounge in Sheffield. We were given the information by authorities in Sheffield and found a Facebook page with this name. A reader has made us aware that the official name of the establishment is, or was, Celebrities Martini Bar and Lounge.

This prompts two questions: Did any celebrities ever frequent this watering hole? Did any patrons ever actually order and drink martinis? We're going to guess the answer to both questions is "no."

It's a moot point now since the bar is closed. No word on any new owners or names, but the odds would seem good that some will come along. The Sheffield club actually producing the two gun fights was JD's Glass in downtown Sheffield. You've now been warned.

Another reader asked about the deleted comments on a blog mentioning alleged child abuser Ryan Anthony Allen. While we're happy to publish comments that disagree with us as long as they don't contain profanity, etc., we don't choose to give anyone a platform for child abuse. Neither do we choose to enable those who use private communications to make threats and vulgar language to enhance these threats.

It's probably pointless to try to engage in any rational debate with someone who lists their occupation as a mother you would love to f**k. Why is anyone surprised that those who have no morals or shame are usually the first ones to abuse a child--then make excuses for it?

Still another reader asked about some questionable language we allowed in the comment section on a blog concerning a lawsuit against the City of Muscle Shoals. As a rule, we don't publish such comments, but the language in this case was borderline and came from someone wishing to answer a charge made against him.

We do ask for all commenters to proof their remarks. If you wouldn't say it in front of a judge, please don't say it here.

Tomorrow we'll take another look at Jeremy Shane Hall and answer some questions concerning our previous blog on his misdemeanor conviction.

Danny McDowell Said What?

Jeremy Shane Hall has received a suspended sentence (read: slap on the wrist) for his alleged sexual assault of several female Franklin County prisoners. Perhaps we should look at the good and rejoice that he can no longer work as a police officer in the state of Alabama.

Where is he working? We hear an ambulance service in Red Bay where he has already brought abject terror to one patient. A career in french fries seems to be in order.

Now on to Russellville city attorney Danny McDowell. When asked to comment on the money paid to Hall's victims, he was quoted as saying: We didn’t believe there was any merit to the claims made against the city or city employees.

Really, McDowell? Not all filed civil lawsuits, did they? What...they just picked out Hall because they didn't like the way he looked? Please elaborate as to why you felt this way. Women everywhere are extremely interested.

Ryan Anthony Allen is in a lot of trouble for allegedly beating and shaking his girlfriend's two-month old baby. Allen's sister is defending him by saying he chastised her for spitting on her own infant. Perhaps members of Allen's family should remain silent?
