SATANIC SWINGERS

Sexy Satanist Southern Democrat Couple Accused Of Rape, Satanism

Meet local Democratic leader Joy Johnson, of Durham, N.C. — she’s (allegedly) a crazy Satanist! Johnson and her younger husband, Joseph Craig, have been charged with a variety of rape and torture and kidnapping crimes, all because of “a satanic ritual that got out of hand.”

Johnson allegedly helped — and watched! — as Craig allegedly raped one of his victims and beat the hell out of another one and kept others starving in cages. Sexy!

The male and female victims met Craig and Johnson “through a shared interest in Satan worship.” We have not explored this particular dark alley of Craigslist, but it’s good to know there are so many local options — even in North Carolina! — for spicing up a marriage with Satanic sex crimes.

Oh, Johnson has resigned as “third vice-chair of the Durham County Democratic Party and vice-chair for the Young Democrats,” because the Democratic Party will not tolerate Satanic Rituals that get “out of hand.”

Experts say that even though the accused couple look like your basic Office Park Pudge duo who might enjoy a Pizza Hut stuffed-cheese-crust or three while watching a sitcom, you can usually tell Satanists by their “furtive little black eyes, lifeless eyes, like a doll’s eyes.” You know, like Jim Lehrer, or Wesley Clark.

    Just a prediction.

    It took like 2 days for it to emerge that there was zero real evidence for the horrible, awful, no-good “pact” by 18 million kids in Massachusetts to have babies all on the exact same day & hour.

    It will take 2-3 days for it to emerge that there was no evidence whatsoever on the “Satanic cult” portion of this story.

    Taking bets now.

    Ten bucks says she supported Hillary.

  3. stankfest says at 3:19 pm, June 30th, 2008

    What they did was not satanic because there was no mention of homosexuality in their practice.

  4. Combover says at 3:21 pm, June 30th, 2008

    “You know, like Jim Lehrer, or Wesley Clark”

    Or Joe Lieberman

  5. Truculent says at 3:21 pm, June 30th, 2008

    My satanic rituals are well-planned in advance with plenty of thought to unexpected contingencies. Amateurs like this make us all look bad especiallh when “things get out of hand.”

    See you in Hell!

  6. anabellum says at 3:21 pm, June 30th, 2008

    so the Durham County Democratic Party is what passes for a satanic cult in North Carolina?….

  7. EnBuenOra says at 3:22 pm, June 30th, 2008

    stankfest: Or of breaking the world record in the 100m homosexual dash.

  8. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:25 pm, June 30th, 2008

    This is clearly a push to OPPRESS our religious freedom. Why can’t a person of satanic inclination practice their love for the world without guv’ment sticking its head through the door? I CALL PERSECUTION!!!!!!!!!!!1!

  9. SayItWithWookies says at 3:25 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Oh, Satanists in our midst — what shall we do?! If only there were some sort of heroic, leadership-type figure who was experienced at performing exorcisms to help us… (not that he would even think about accepting the VP slot as a reward for kicking Satan’s ass. Well, unless these serious times called for such a thing).

  10. Sexy? Only in the South.

  11. eatsshootsleaves says at 3:26 pm, June 30th, 2008

    If I was a Democrat living in the Bible Belt, I’d probably worship Satan too.

  12. weirdiowasculpture says at 3:28 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Truculent: Ain’t it the truth? Just when you’re sitting down to a feast of roast Christian baby, some asshole who won’t wait his turn reaches in over you with a big fork and it’s Katy-bar-the-door. Damn kids today have no respect for the rules.

  13. The Real JR Revisted says at 3:31 pm, June 30th, 2008

    How much you wanna bet they both have LiveJournals.

  14. ronaldpagan says at 3:32 pm, June 30th, 2008

    This would be a way better HBO documentary than the stupid “Ganja Queen” one.

    Anyway, something about the political party attached to this scandal doesn’t seem right…are we sure they’re not Dixiecrats?

  15. HeelingToPort says at 3:32 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Unfortunately, for Democrats, Satanism is called a cult.
    But for Republicans, Satanism is called a club (ie: Skull and Bones) - remember them?

  16. PoliticalGraffiti says at 3:36 pm, June 30th, 2008

    it’s always the pudgy pizza-hut-loving ones, ISNT IT?

  17. WadISay says at 3:36 pm, June 30th, 2008

    These people were exposed when they were in the infield of a NASCAR racetrack and it was noticed that they could swivel their heads 360 degrees from the comfort of their lawnchair.

  18. ForeignSickSpecialist says at 3:37 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Damn… I’m glad I’m moving. I met both of them at the County Convention. Glad I didn’t take up their offer for ‘brunch.’

  19. freakishlystrong says at 3:38 pm, June 30th, 2008

    That Satan, he needs his balls chemically whitered…

  20. Maj. Major Major Major says at 3:39 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Satan is NOT hanging out with those dorks…

  21. ForeignSickSpecialist says at 3:39 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Damn… I’m glad I’m moving. I met them both at the Dem County Convention. My conscious told me not to take them up on their ‘brunch’ offer.

  22. Truculent says at 3:40 pm, June 30th, 2008

    weirdiowasculpture: Where do you get your communion wafers made with the menstrual blood of virgins? I can’t find them in Whole Foods any more. They go so well with the baby — I use them to mop up the gravy

  23. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:42 pm, June 30th, 2008

    …I get the mental picture of these fukk-ups wearing those hairy pants that Dan Akroyd wore at the end of “Dragnet” the movie.

  24. bitchincamaro says at 3:42 pm, June 30th, 2008

    These two are pikers compared to their European cousins:

    Man…Southerners give good ol fashioned normal Satanists like me a bad name.

  26. georgia_peach says at 3:52 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Combover: Or George Bush. Or Bill O’Reilly.

    Hey, it does work! I am going to go around and check my co-workers’ eyes right now!

  27. weirdiowasculpture says at 3:52 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Truculent: Check your local Jewish deli. They’re right behind the Matzos.

  28. Doglessliberal says at 3:52 pm, June 30th, 2008

    “a satanic ritual that got out of hand.” Damn, I HATE when that happens. You are just going along, chanting the Bible backwards, maybe decapitating a goat or two, when suddenly beatings and caging breaks out. Really casts a pall over a good satanic orgy.

  29. Mahousu says at 3:55 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Joy Johnson. I just wanted to point that out. Joy Johnson.

  30. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:57 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: I always thought it enhanced the experienced, but then again, it does.

  31. I hate it when my satanic rituals get out of hand. I’ll be havin’ a jolly old time, and before you know it the blood and vomit are everywhere.

  32. Diadhuit says at 4:16 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Truculent: It pisses you off doesn’t it? I mean, you need to go into the cult rituals with a certain expectation that not everything may go as planned. For example, if you were taking part in a Mithraic taurubellum, who is to say the bull won’t get spooked beforehand and crap all over you/lock you in a sex dungeon and beat you? It really points to the amateur level of their devotion that they went and pressed charges.

    the nerve of some people…

  33. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:28 pm, June 30th, 2008

    And here I thought only conservatives were Satanists:

  34. populucious says at 4:45 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Johnson has resigned as “third vice-chair of the Durham County Democratic Party and vice-chair for the Young Democrats”

    Third vice-chair of a county party! My God, how will North Carolina Democrats ever recover from this scandal reaching so high into the upper echalons?

    Honestly, these guys look like everything they ever learned about “Satanism” came from watching Law & Order, do they not?

  35. There’s no telling how many pizzas were sacrificed to Satan by the unholy duo.

  36. SayItWithWookies says at 4:58 pm, June 30th, 2008

    populucious: Wes Clarke just came out and said that watching someone get chained up and raped doesn’t qualify Joy Johnson to be third vice-chair of the Durham County Democratic Party. Doesn’t that man know when to stop digging?

  37. thefrontpage says at 5:00 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Gawd almighty! It’s only Monday, but an early contender for Story of the Week. Those wacky Southern Democrats!!! They’re psycho.

  38. WhatTheHeck says at 5:32 pm, June 30th, 2008

    The last time satan came knocking on my door, I told him I was not up for his kinky shit.
    So I told him to try the Carolinas for recruits.

    And this was the best he came up with? Oh hell, even Satan is having it rough after two terms of Bush.

  39. Paultardville says at 5:56 pm, June 30th, 2008

    queeraselvis v 2.0: Well, she was a SATANist, duh.

  40. Paultardville says at 5:58 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Sorry, those two look like they worship TruckNutz more than they worship Satan.

    And no way in hell she’s a “young” democrat. She looks at least 30.

  41. S.Luggo says at 6:04 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Plus the middle name of each was “Hussein”. Spray paint that, Orlando.

  42. sparky says at 6:18 pm, June 30th, 2008

    um…why specify “younger” husband? would the same have been called out if wife were the younger of the two? what up with that?

  43. Aurelio says at 6:33 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Here is their website: http://www.theindigodawn.com/Indigo_Dawn/Welcome.html

    If you click on their products link, you will see that they sell:

    *Anti-itch cream for poison ivy, etc.

    *Dream pillows

    *Herbal teas

    *Blessed or unblessed sage smudge sticks

    This is not high-octane satanism. Where is the blood-drinking and child sacrifice? I guess Satan must have gotten kinda mushy in his old age.

  44. Aurelio says at 6:35 pm, June 30th, 2008

    thefrontpage: I think folks like this are known as ‘psychobillies.’

  45. thefrontpage says at 6:45 pm, June 30th, 2008

    PSYCHOBILLIES!

  46. Neilist says at 7:37 pm, June 30th, 2008

    “Board member Alin Tiberiu Lacatus was always an activist. Born in Arad, Romania . . . .”

    You just have to dig deep enough to get the information.

    It’s always there.

    You just have to look.

  47. American Dreamer says at 7:41 pm, June 30th, 2008

    That poor lady was just doing everything possible to keep her marriage fresh so she wouldn’t be replaced by a younger model.

  48. Darehead says at 7:50 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Maybe if you accept a job title with the word “vice” it just becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

  49. Dave J. says at 7:55 pm, June 30th, 2008

    With Tim Russert gone, who will call upon Barack Obama to REJECT and DENOUNCE these two orgy-loving rapey satanists? Our nation looks to you, Brian Williams.

  50. hopeforbill says at 8:47 pm, June 30th, 2008

    These folks haven’t preached at Barry’s church yet, have they?

  51. Aurelio says at 9:02 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Neilist: You nailed it, Neilist. I didn’t bother to scroll down their web page. But now the scales have been lifted from my eyes. Especially the part about His Satanic Majesty’s “unknowing” allegiance to gnosticism. The gnostics believed that the world was made by the devil when God wasn’t looking. It is only one step from there to child sacrifice and blood drinking.

  52. BLITHERBrax says at 11:59 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Um, calling Joy a “leader” in the Democratic party because she was “3rd vice-chair of the (friggin) county” is like calling Rev. Hagee John McCain’s personal medium to Jesus.

    Some of us are registered ‘D’, some ‘R’, and others ‘U’ (unaffiliated). Some bored people try to get involved at the “grassroots” level. Doesn’t take much to be a county 3rd vice-chair. Ditto for boyfriend-rapist being vice-whatever of Young Dems.

    Seriously, when ministers rape their daughters, we don’t really care if they’re Republicans or Democrats. (But they’re probably Republicans, if you do some research on the public voting databases…)

  53. trai_dep says at 1:25 am, July 1st, 2008

    Gods, do people still listen to The Rolling Stones?
    Oh, it’s North Carolina. Never mind.

  54. donner_froh says at 2:34 am, July 1st, 2008

    Neilist:

    “Board member Alin Tiberiu Lacatus was always an activist. Born in Arad, Romania . . . .”

    Born in a Romanian desert. No wonder he is a bit strange.

  55. GothChick07 says at 2:59 am, July 30th, 2008

    Damn Joe!!! Joe used to be my neighbor in Pathfork KY. We used to be best buds!!! We also used to have sex at the graveyard so I knew he was out there. This doesn’t suprise me too much because for one, he has all there dark tats all over his back and huge scars from running giant blades up and down his flesh. He used to tell me he loved feeling the blood rush down his back.
