Too Much Is Never Enough
Thankfully, this weekend an arrest was finally made in the Andrea Boyer case. It is a blessing that the suspect has been picked up and off the street. My thanks go out to the CCSO. They did a marvelous job. The same can not be said of the parole board. Someone needs to address the issue of sexual predators and do so effectively. The question arose about whether or not to let Jackson out early and based on the deeply thought out philosophy of "He was going to get out sooner or later" I have to say our parole officials really need to stop doing hallucinogens. I sincerely hope those twits become wracked with guilt for their actions and never know another moment's peace for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, I am sure they will make excuses they can live with. This is where being Amish could come in handy. When someone so screws up to annoy the community, the transgressor is subsequently shunned. No one makes any human contact with that person until finally, they just go away. I suggest we do this to whoever participated in this decision. So, how long should a sexual predator be locked up? I suggest "Life" plus twenty years for openers. Study after study has shown these predators (I will not defame animals by calling them by any animal appelation) never reform. The best thing would be to euthanize them but we all know some moron will start shrieking about "constitutional rights" for the perverse. It takes all kinds, I suppose but that doesn't mean we give them any credibility. Especially when such a sick organization like the ACLU exists. This organization is actively defending NAMBLA. (This is a group that encourages sexual relations between adult men and male children.) The ACLU seems to think this is a good idea too. Andrea Boyer will never get a second chance. I don't know why Michael Jackson did. Lily's Lore Related: lilyslore's blog | login or register to post comments | printer friendly version | Tags: murder | predator

I don't know about that. I have never seen a study anywhere that claims these sexual predators can be rehabilitated. They are evil to the bone and have no place in a civilized society, or heck, even in ours. As far as spending even more money on this problem, I don't think it's necessary, unless you mean we should build and staff more prisons. In my little opinion, they should never be allowed out of jail, ever, for any reason.

The point wasn't about "predators" being rehabilitated. The issue was that the lifetime registry really makes no one safer based on the current research by the federal/state government and private organizations. And lumping all sex offenders into the same category (offenders vs "predators") wastes precious resources that might be better used to properly classify a person a "predator" instead of just an "offender". In addition, more stringent guidelines and enforcement on whom should be classified a "predator" would do more for public safety than a neverending registry that required the sheriff to hire extra staff without compensation from the state. Look below for a link on a recent papers that was submitted to Congress as part of testimony for the recent "unfunded mandate" Federal law about sex offender registry: http://www.sohopeful.org/forum/afiles/SEX_OFFENDERS_%20Flaws_with_System_Effective_Solutions.pdf People are talking about ...Here are the recent blog postings with the most comments. |

Unfortunately, it seems that the system failed in properly classifying an individual that the State's Attorney felt deeply should never have gotten out of jail. He was never classified as a sexual predator nor was any attempt made to civilly commit him using current laws. The Legislature and law enforcement is too hung up on making headlines on the backs of sexual offenses and saying that the lifetime registration laws offer some sort of protection while repeat offenses by sexual offenders (nor including those classified as "predators") is the lowest of all convicted felons. Additionally, the registry does not consider or assess the specific risk of reoffense with regard to any person included on the registry and doesn't offer any idea if anyone on there is currently dangerous. The whole system of relying on a public registry to make the public safer is a farce (and treating all sexual offenders as some sort of lifetime addicts is idiocy and not consistent with all known federal, state or private studies) and mainly wastes untold amounts of public funds at the local, state and federal level. We need a comprehensive system that evaluates each case individually and allows officials to put the most money in place to prosecute, incarcerate, civilly commit and monitor the proper offenders not just thousands of persons that aren't likely to reoffend.
