Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Florida's restrictions on where sex offenders can live might be both ineffective and endangering the public, legislative analyst Marti Harkness said Tuesday in state legislative testimony. "Research shows that to prevent a sex offender from living with their families or [to make them live] farther away from work or treatment because of residency restrictions, you may actually in fact diminish public safety."

Admin's note: Participants in the discussion of this weblog entry should note the site's moderation policy.

Here in California similar laws are in effect. As a matter of policy, the AG's office has thus far decide not to enforce them. Kind of interesting. Pure politics. The public gets to have counter-productive draconian laws on the books. Prosecutors generally ignore them because they are untenable.

My viceral reaction is to just shoot em.

But having said that, If you DON'T just shoot em, and if they ARE NOT in prison, I'd rather have em housed with a minder (Yes, you ARE your pervert brother's keeper....)

But I'd still like to see em locked up or dead.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The above applies to convicted offenders, who, be definition, have FAILED to control their urges. Its the PRACTICING pedophiles that should be skinned alive. A pedophile who recognizes the evil of his/her desires and does NOT carry out anything is probably a person of good character cursed by a perverted mindset.

USAF242,

So should an eighteen year old who had sex with a seventeen year old be skinned alive? They are a sex offender. How about a minor woman who sends topless photos of herself to her boyfriend. Also a sex offender for life, what punishment is appropriate for her? I vote for crucifixion.

DIBBLDA: I think it does not take much insight to infer that USAF242 is talking about the more heinous offenders. I highly doubt he is referring to the type of scenario you reference in your post. The problem with sex offender laws in general is that they tend to encompass the worst of the worst, as well as the most mild of offenders.

#4 -

Exactly correct. The vast majority of "sex offenders" fall into relatively minor offenses; although most states have corrected this, not too long ago, mooning or taking a whiz in a back alley could get someone SO status. And even among offenders, not all...not even a majority...are pedophiles. Some of these blanket laws don't make much sense at all in my opinion.

DIBBLDA

You are an idiot, and you know exactly why.

Its obvious you FIRMLY BELIEVE that if a 40 year old pervert with candy has his way with a 12 year old child, YOU think it is ok.

I have PROOF you believe that.

Your question to me makes your logic obvious.

I'm serious.

You KNEW "EXACTLY" what I was talking it. Yet, KNOWING THAT, you still made clear that the 40 year old raping 12 year old I was talking about was, IN YOUR MIND, no different than an 18 year old and 17 year old on a date.

BIBBLDA thinks it is OK for grown adults to rape small children. He thinks its the same as an 18 year old and 17 year old on a date. Doubt me? Read above.

In your defense, there are places with crudely written laws that draw a blind line at 18, but their number is shrinking, and MORE IMPORTANT, such flawed laws are NOT the topic, and YOU KNOW IT.

Exactly, and the mob mentality that goes along with it.

My feeling is that this is a mental health issue as well and should be dealt with in this way. Jail followed by life under a bridge doesn't help anyone. Some of these offenders need to be institutionalized and treated for their disorder.

DIBBLDA thinks raping small children is good fun, read above to see him confess it.

BIBBLDA thinks it is OK for grown adults to rape small children. He thinks its the same as an 18 year old and 17 year old on a date. Doubt me? Read above.

Mob mentality jackass. I didn't say it was ok for a 40 year old to rape a 12 year old.

DIBBLDA

You KNEW I was talking about grown adults raping children. You say otherwise, and you are a stinking lying sack of shit.

You then drew a moral equivalence line between me wanting to skin practicing pedophiles alive, and a couple of teenagers on a hot date.

Read your own words you pervert, or confess that you made a highly insulting and FLAWED comparison.

Until you do, I'll take you at your word.

I think you protest too much....

I'll take you at your word if you take me at mine.

DIBBLDA

If you had said:

"While I would debate your venom against actual child raping perverts, a related issue of concern is making sure the anti-pedophile laws don't ensnare teens on a hot date."

....then I would have AGREED with you, becuase I AGREE that some of the laws in question get VERY poorly applied to teens.

DIBBLDA

Yes, you've managed to piss me off.

Wanting to skin 40 year old child raping NAMBLA members is NOT the same as teens on a hot date, and implying that someone who wants to skin the perverts also wants to skin the teens is the statement of an idiot who needs to have their nose rubbed in their stupidity.

Its the PRACTICING pedophiles that should be skinned alive. A pedophile who recognizes the evil of his/her desires and does NOT carry out anything is probably a person of good character cursed by a perverted mindset.

Both have mental illnesses. I love how you folks love to play God with others lives. If they are misfits then we should kill them?...Oh and do torture them first so we can all feel better?

Think about what you are saying. It is never ok to play God with other humans lives. In dibbles defense he did not say it was ok to have sex with children he was trying to get you to think about the mob mentality of kill.. kill.. kill!

Nice try Dibblda. It didn't appear to work. sometimes I think that USAF is smart and sometimes I think he would rather shoot first and ask questions later.

Fine. Send them to the "junkyard" for life without parole then.

donnerboy... misfits?

I think this goes beyond being a misfit. The stereotypical Hight School AV geek is a misfit. A child rapist is NOT a misfit.

A child rapist is NOT a misfit.

Does he fit into society as we know it? No?

Then he is a misfit. Perhaps there is some society he would "fit" in. Saudi Arabia perhaps?

Granted he has a severe mental illness. And is a criminal here. Can he be rehabilitated? Probably not.

I wonder....Do you prescribe the same treatment of being skinned alive for convicted priests pedophiles?

Is not a severe mental illness something that is beyond the ability of the person to control? So, if a person cannot control themselves according to societies norm then they should die...after we skin them alive?

As a medical diagnosis, it is defined as a psychological disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual preference for prepubescent children.

No significant curative treatment for pedophilia has yet been found. There are, however, certain therapies that can reduce the incidence of pedophilic behaviors that result in child sexual abuse.




Perhaps this law like most zero tolerance laws in schools needs revisiting and the definition of a sex offender needs revising. An 18 yr old making it with his 17 yr old girlfriend and convicted of statutory - should not be governed by the strict sex offender laws. Same with the picture over the cellphone example posted somewhere above.

It is never ok to play God with other humans

Good point.

When does a fetus become human?

A real sex offender doesn't need the state to tell them where they can and cannot live. It won't make any difference if they are reformed or innocent in the first place. Second time offenders are bucking the odds of coincidence and should be neutered or face life in an asylum for the criminally insane.

RM- I agree that second time offenders should be removed from society. As I pointed out though there is currently no known cure for this type of mental illness so even first time offenders should be monitored somehow. And yes they are criminally insane. And as far as I know we don't condone killing the insane...except maybe in Texas where they rule by emotion.

Florida LOL!

I'm moving the family to Mexico. I wrote to the White House:

Dear Mr. President Obama:

I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.

We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements. We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way down?

Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.

4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.

5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.

7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services and be able to vote.

9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put U S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want
any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.

13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say a critical thing about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.

14. I want to receive free food stamps.

15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.

16. I'll need Income tax credits so although I don't pay Mexican Taxes, I'll receive money from the government.

17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov't pays $ 4,500 to help me buy a new car.

18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who come to the U.S. from Mexico.

I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

Thank you so much for your kind help. You're the man, Mr. 'Hope and Change'.

I've been thinking about this too, Sam. Cabo is great in November, and I drink bottled water anyway.

" ... studies from Florida, Minnesota and Colorado showed almost no link between a sex offender's residency and the crime he committed."

A classic "self selection" bias perhaps? Are registered sex offenders less likely to commit sexual crimes near their residences for fear that they would be identified as suspects due to their proximity to the crime?

If they were executed they would be easier to track.

DONNERBOY

My position here is ENTIRELY based on ACTIVE CHOICES made by the person who has the violent and/or perverted sexual desires.

When a pervert makes the deliberate choice to carry out his/her perverted desires, that is when they choose to flush their own humanity down the sewer. I merely respect THEIR CHOICE.

It aint me playing God, its merely me respecting a CHOICE made by a pervert to BECOME a sub-human piece of shit, and treating them accordingly.

On the other hand, a person cursed with such desires who recognizes their evil (yes, EVIL, no other concept fits), and refuses to carry out those desires is showing evidence SUPERIOR humanity, good character and good ethics. Most ethical decisions people have to make are not this dire, but in the case of those who have desires to rape children, the ethical decision IS this dire.

As for what DIBBDLA was doing, you are partly correct, and partly incorrect. Bottom line: It is NOT reasonable NOR PROPER to expect people discussing an obvious subject to make an aside comment for every damn vaguely related exception under the sun. Further more, when people accuse, or even IMPLY, something nasty about a speaker who did not make 20+ asides to cover every damn exception that everyone ALREADY IS AWARE OF, the person making the unfounded insult should be brutally dragged through his own mud.

When I talk about skinning perverts who rape children, everyone, including DIBBLDA, knows I'm not talking about two teens on a hot date, even if one is 19 and the other 16. For him to even VAGUELY imply I can't tell the difference is an UNFOUNDED INSULT. If he must address the subject of morons poorly applying laws (such as the child porn laws being applied to two teens sending love notes with improper picture), there are PLENTY of less insulting ways to do it.

Its all about Free Will and individual responsibility.

DONNERBOY

I can see how you might think I'm all "Kill Kill Kill" on criminals.

Thats because most of the stuff that makes headlines (and gets discussed here...) is pretty heinous stuff.

My position is pretty simple: when such extreme heinous stuff happens because someone CHOOSE to make it happen, I respect their CHOICE to flush their own humanity down the toilet and become, by their own choice, sub-human shit. I advocate treating them accordingly.

Some crimes don't warrent rehabilitation, or comfortable life time confinement at tax payer expense.

If a 40 year old pervert rapes and kills a 10 year old, I want that pervert DEAD.

But if a typical wife beater gets put in front of a judge, while he is clearly low life shit, he is also clearly not in the same league of trash as the murdering child molester. For the wife beater, I like the idea of him being miserable, but what is NEEDED is "rehabilitation" even if the process of rehabilitation is not miserable, for the simple reason that he will not be locked up for life.

As much as I like the idea of the wife beater being made to suffer, his suffering is a DISTANT 2nd priority to making sure that when he is released, he does not do such crap again. (On a related note, I "DO" believe some misery inflicted on such a wife beater, if done with some intelligence, could do a world of good towards rehabilitation, but I'm willing to let the headshrinks try other methods too.....). I might not LIKE being nice to a wife beater, but if the shrinks can get results.....

Florida's Sex Offender Law Endangers Public

Seems to me that Sex Offenders Endanger Public

How typically simplistic.

"How typically simplistic."

How typically liberal. Try to find a convoluted, complex answer to a simple problem. I can just imagine what the liberal wheel would look like.
