The Legrand Family

clever... :roll:

Well, backyard isn't the same as basement, but same diff basically.
I have no idea why the family comes around here begging us to look the other way just cos future generations haven't been so homicidal. If my dad was charles manson I'd sure as hell change my name and put as much distance between myself & him as possible rather than go indignantly tell everyone about all the good the Manson family has done. A lot of us may be transplants but that doesn't change the fact that we're uncomfortable with a family/church in the neighborhood that not only refuses to acknowledge the horror of, uh, killing a lot of innocent people for no real reason, but then attempts to excuse itself because "we're all the same in eyes of God" or whatever other BS they've come up with.

If God is gonna judge you and you're at peace with that, stop telling the rest of us that yr serial-killin grampa ain't no biggie. it is.

^seriously. Most people don't even know I have a sister, with good reason. Doesn't mean that I am anything like her

that doesn't have anything to do with what i said.

You guys are fixating on an incident that happened many years ago, many are unaware of the countless other Crimes and Criminal activity that still emerges from that home every day.

Subject: Torture,Murder,sexual Misconduct, Child ABUSE Legrand Family

I actually went to school with the Legrand children.One case in point:
One of my female classmates who was a Legrand was terrified when she approached me with startling news about abuse from her father who beat her and her sisters with an ironing cord and let them sleep in CAGES in the basement in the house. She was afraid of being seen by her brothers talking to me or anyone on a one to one level because she'd get beaten and torture. She admitted that her father favored the boys rather than the girls. Yes they did ask for money on trains , subways and the children were dirty and rarely had food to eat. The boys appeared to be going along with this family routine also because they were favored.. The remaining family appears to be brainwashed to some degree and they are not to be dealt with. Why would they stay in that neighborhood when people know what they are about? Sexual misconduct and it appears to be of a type of cult. The women wear black and continually ask for money for their'church'. Stay away from these People. If you grew up in that family would you continue to stay in the same environment? The Bible clearly states that there will be wolves in sheeps clothing. Stay AWAY from them.Period.

Back in the news, with a headline and narrative style that only the Post could conjure up:



Lying nun begs on behalf of unholy rape clan
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/twisted_sister_act_by_lying_nun_2pBEDN8HMJLjaJZoJduDPO

For a decade, Sister Milindia has tugged on heartstrings in Little Italy. Wearing a cross, veil and nun's black habit, she approaches strangers and asks for donations, saying she's an Episcopal sister raising money for an orphanage and the homeless.

...

"Sister Milindia" is not a sister. The Episcopal Church has never heard of her; she's been busted at least once, in 1997, for misrepresenting herself as a nun in The Bronx; and the orphanage for which she claims to raise money doesn't exist.

Her real name is Mindy LeGrand, 54, and she's connected to a "church" in Crown Heights founded in the 1970s by a killer rapist with a harem of a dozen phony nuns. The church is now led by the founder's son, who is also a convicted rapist.

The outfit has no Episcopal or other church affiliation, is not a registered charity and has no foster- or day-care license of any kind.

[two days later, at her home]

A boy who answered the door there two days later said she had gone to Atlantic City.

What a filthy pig she is!!!

Side note: this is a mod free weekend. So let your true feeling about this subject flow!


Personally: I still think this whole family is a poison upon our society and should be buried in their own basement like they did to their victims

This is interesting....

scum, really. And living on the dole.

Back to Brooklyn house of evil
Bizarre sister act writes new chapter in horror story of rape, cages and murder

The girl met her killer at Adventur ers Inn, a second- rate amusement park in College Point, Queens.

Elizabeth Brown, 15, was at the park with friends one summer night in 1974 when he rolled up in his chauffeur-driven, cream-colored Cadillac -- with its own bar and TV -- and stepped out. He would have been hard to resist: a dapper preacher in a silk suit with movie-star looks, wealth and charm.

But this "pastor," Devernon "Doc" LeGrand, 50, had no intention of saving her soul. His slick approach was intended to snare the girl into his commune in Brooklyn, where he plied teens with drugs and booze, seduced them and forced them to panhandle in nun garb.


Brigitte Stelzer
DIRTY SHAME: Charismatic preacher Devernon LeGrand (pictured) lured vulnerable youngsters like Elizabeth Brown, 15, into his hellish clan where some followers were murdered and the bodies of two were burned in a bathtub.
Brown became LeGrand's concubine and beggar, hitting up subway riders by day and having sex with him and dropping angel dust by night.

"She had a good heart but was very angry, very belligerent," said Brown's sister Cathy. "Our father was sick with cancer and dying. She was looking for stability. A kid like that attracts dirtbags like magnets."

Thirty-six years later, authorities assumed LeGrand's cult, which eventually devolved into rape and murder and scandalized the city in the 1970s, was long gone. But last week they opened a new probe into the remnants of his clan after The Post found Mindy LeGrand, his daughter-in-law, pulling the same old sister act in Little Italy.

Investigators have returned to the dark secrets of 222 Brooklyn Ave., a Crown Heights row house where for two decades LeGrand headed one of the most notorious crime families in city history.

LeGRAND fathered 46 children, many of whom lived in tiny bedrooms upstairs in the four-story headquarters where Devernon preached on the first floor. For years, kids were kept in cages, starved and beaten -- until cops busted LeGrand for child-abuse in 1965.

"They had these tiny little rooms. The kids would stay with their mothers or just run around everywhere," said Eugene Jarkow, who investigated LeGrand for the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office. "The street-level floor is where they had the church. There was a big meat freezer in the basement, supposedly where he'd put the bodies, but there was no proof of that."

Every morning, LeGrand's phony nuns would pile into his Cadillac and he would drop them off at locations across the city. One fake sister, Vivian Roye, "was olive-skinned and passed as Italian -- she did very well on Mulberry Street," recalled former Brooklyn prosecutor Harold Rosenbaum.

The church took in an estimated $250,000 a year, enough to buy the Crown Heights building and a 58-acre farm in Sullivan County, which LeGrand paid for with rolls of coins.

I wish we could separate the fact from fiction. However, the fact that the family members refer to themselves as 'prophets' and are OK with having shrines and idols built in their images suggests, at the most basic levels, that the tenets of their "church" are not in line with the tenets of Christianity. That alone is enough to raise a red flag

Let's just do away with all churches and the like.
