Comments on: We Give Them A Place To Prey http://www.onebigdog.net/we-give-them-a-place-to-prey/ "Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls. Don't ever argue with the Big Dog because the Big Dog is always right" Sat, 11 Feb 2012 16:25:29 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Frank http://www.onebigdog.net/we-give-them-a-place-to-prey/comment-page-1/#comment-454 Frank Thu, 21 Apr 2005 04:11:44 +0000 http://www.onebigdog.net/?p=322#comment-454 I am a grown man. I don't get all teary eyed very easily; but as I found out today the manner in which Jessica Lunsford was killed--buried alive, holding her stuffed dolphin after being molested God knows how many times by that waste of genetic material, I started crying. I felt a void open up inside me and said a prayer..a plea to God to please take special care of Jessica. You see, I have a new daughter of my own. She is a year old. We as humans have the capacity to place ourselves in other's situations- empathy. I can't, literally cannot try to feel what her father is going through. A law that isn't as soft as the proposed one needs to be put in place. Something that will let every person in an area in which a sex offender moves into, know 1) who the person is (photo included). 2) their address. 3) where they work. This would be in addition to the mandatory 25 yrs and lifetime tracking. I am guessing that some sissy of a liberal would make a plea for the civil rights of sex offenders being violated, but how about the dead victims...their horror, and not to mention the lifetime of guilt and grief the families will feel. I feel sick about this, and I know I will have nightmares about possible scenarios that could play out with the people I love, but I had to find a way to vent my absolute loss of faith in humanity.

Therefore, these people cannot be "cured." They are always going to be a danger to our children. There is a registry for Maryland and the site is http://www2.dpscs.state.md.us/onlineservs/sor/. This often has pictures of the offender as well as his or her work/home address and a brief description of their offenses. Although not all sexual offenders are pedophiles, most are dangerous and the recidivism rate for these types of offenses are quite high. I must acknowledge that Adam's statements are correct that not all persons convicted of a sex crime is a sexual offender and not all repeat their crimes, in my opinion we need to err on the side of caution of our women and children's safety (I am only excluding men as they are the least likely to be a victim of such offenses but they too deserve protection) rather than protecting a criminal's privacy.

Do we err in favor of a criminal who might kill our children? If there is any doubt they need to be in jail for life. If new evidence shows they did not do it then they can be released. If they kill a child then they need to get the death penalty. There are faults with the judicial system but remember, more criminals get set free than free people imprisioned.

I understand how scary it is to put these people back on the streets, but as a society we have to consider both sides. It's a hard choice. It's the same way with the death penalty. Can we honestly continue to kill people convicted under a faulty law system or in the case of abuse give out life sentences for false accusations? I have no disrespect for those victims of murder of sexual assault, but as a society we need to think about these things.
