Cruel and unusual...very...just the way it should be with these types of people.
Unfortunately, sex crimes prosecutions have suffered from a high rate of false convictions and accusations over the years. If your "meat grinder" proposal had been implemented, you would have ended up executing dozens of victims of "repressed memory syndrome" or other pseudoscience which has been used as the basis for prosecutions since the 1980's. Or did you already forget the whole scandal involving false molestation accusations at various day-cares not that long ago?
A Texas man was recently released after serving 23 years for raping a 14-year-old. He was convicted on the basis of eyewitness testimony alone. The testimony was wrong - DNA evidence cleared him this year.
Under your system, he would have been tortured to death. You would have been a party to the torture-murder of an innocent young man.
Cant believe that I am surrounded people that actually care for these types of people. Its sickening. I would assume those I am indicating have no children. Your telling me you would be ok living next to a registered sex offender that was convicted of child molestation? .
Yes, and I have 4 children and 8 grandchildren.
Would you live next to a rogue cop? A murderer? A corrupt politician?
And by the way, many on the list are just teenagers growing up in a typical way.
And the ones that dont fit that description should have a trap door open up underneath them so that they could fall into a big meat grinder and be done with. I am not sensitive to people that dont derseve to breath the same air as everyone else. Cruel and unusual...very...just the way it should be with these types of people.
"My rule of thumb is a strong presumption that any law named after a victim is poor public policy enacted by legislators who confuse voting against a law with voting against an innocent person." --Ted Frank
Made me laught out loud a bit, imaginging some politicians standing around, looking entirely too perplexed, voting for and against laws with human names. "Who is this Megan? I don't like her. DOWN WITH MEGAN!"

Some of us are capable of empathy you sociopathic ****.

One nephew, plenty of younger cousins. No spawns of my own yet, but we live less than a quarter mile away from an RSO in a rural area. Michigan doesn't list his crime, but we know what he did. Used his position as a police officer to coerce sexual favors from women while on duty. He got caught in several under-age cases, however, landing him in prison and on the RSO list.
Nice guy, good with kids.

Ladies, how about one living next to one who was convicted of rape? These people are sick and will always crave that type of behavior. Its nice to know who your neighbors are and I prefer to know before I put my family at risk.
I suspect you don't understand the human psyche. Rape isn't about sex.
No, that is considered a sexual pathology or paraphilia. Not all 12-year-olds are prepubescent, of course. But either way, that doesn't determine whether they can be factually willing participants in sexual acts, despite the fact that the law does not recognize consent as a defense in such cases.
The age of consent was 12 or even lower in many U.S. states until about a century ago, and it was 12 in Spain until 1996, when it was raised to 13.
Age of consent was raised when people lived longer than 45.
Our current fascination with sex offender registries is, for the most part, a result of repressed and unhealthy sexual attitudes meeting up with paranoia.
Whose unhealthy or repressed sexual attitudes meeting up with paranoia?
Sex offender registries are necessary. The sex offender maps are necessary so parents, and other people can see where the sexually perverse are living.
There is nothing healthy about living near pedophiles, or rapists.
How about the child's life that was ruined by the sick pedo who molested them.
If the pedo can't control his urges to screw with children then society has to put them away, and/or curb their access to children.
Have you ever peed outside? Most of us have. That can get you on the RSO list.
So are you OK with ruining the lives of every guy who has peed on a golf course? There are millions of them.
Did you have sex at age 16 or less? Even just touching or looking at a girls breasts? Millions of us did. That would put millions more on the RSO list. So are you OK with ruining the lives of your children because they had sex at 16 or even sexted at 16? Or maybe your kids mooned somebody at 16. You OK with their life being ruined by the RSO list?
Age of consent was raised when people lived longer than 45.
The normal human lifespan has not increased as dramatically as all that. It only appears that way because infant mortality has decreased sharply. People who made it past 5 have always stood a good chance of living past 45.
The age of consent, in other words, has no connection to the average lifespan.
