Please explain to me.......
Fridays Oregonian had a front page article that left me stunned. It seems a man (turns out it's the grandfather!) abused a 3 year old girl. Served 6 months in prison and is now living within one mile of the victims home.
This is the stuff that nightmares are made of. What in the #@$& is he doing out after only 6 months? What kind of man would even do this? Go ahead and tell me there's nothing wrong with how our government works!! We're supposed to trust them to make decisions for our lives? Geeze I can't even write any more about this. ¶ 2/22/2005 07:37:00 AM

Once upon a time, when a certain nationally famous man was just the governor of the state where I live, this governor's cousin was brutally raped in a little town near here. The man went to trial and was convicted but was given a five year sentence.
The very night of the sentencing, some hoodlums (from out-of-state I'm sure) broke into the jail and castrated the poor man.
Unfortunately, there is a second part to the story. After multiple appeals and a couple of years in prison, his sentence was reduced to time served and he was set free. He moved to a neighboring state. A year later, He raped a little 7 year old boy with a stick and then killed him. I believe the man is still on deathrow.
The only place I've ever seen justice is in the dictionary.

Okay bridgesitter, come have a look. I have finished the tree, at least as far as it's going. And I've rewritten the two that were on there. cliff
Like your mother (I believe you said in a previous discussion about Ms. Yates) once said - only death truely cures pedophiles.
As I said in response, when you asked my opinion, these people commit far more offenses than they are ever caught for because their victims are afraid and so vulnerable. Pedophiles are never cured! They become more bold and deceptive, and if you kill the victim, he/she definately won't talk.
Courts treat them with "kid gloves" because they look/act so innocent and child-like, unlike the traditional thugs with tattoos and cigarette stained fingers and a long criminal records. They are often educated people in the helping professions. Courts fear they will be abused or even killed if sent to prison. (I'm starting to ramble and get fired up.)

I've written extensively on this issue on other blogs. It is one of the rare cases where I feel the death penalty is the closest form of "justice." I wish, with all my heart, that life imprisonment truly was carried out and such criminals were NEVER released.
However, the reality is, in the USA at least, that these criminals who perform such heinous violent, sickening acts, continue to victimize. No injections, no rehabilitation, no cognitive therapy, has been shown to truly reduce whatever causes the person to commit and REPEAT such abominations.
I could write too much here about this. I'm glad you posted this because too many people block out such atrocities and do nothing to try to prevent this from being part of our society.
Tearfully,
