Well go get your gun and kill them then. That's your way My way: I believe in forgiveness. (You're probably a Christian so you disagree.) I believe in freedom from cruel and unusual punishment. (You're probably an American so you disagree.) I believe in a right to privacy - but you're probably a Republican so you disagree. And since being in a sex offender registry gives you an impermeable firewall against attacks, just hope that said criminal did something sexual, and didn't just kill for the fun of it, or he won't be listed. Do you really think people that molested their niece one time are the same people who randomly select victims and kill them? That's the problem with you people. You throw everything in the same bag together. I hardly consider a man who had consensual sex with a 17 year old to be a giant threat to society, but he will be put on the page the same as someone who goes around fucking 18 month old girls to death. Even if someone is dangerous, and listed on the page of what use is it to potential victims? Let's say person A succeeds in protecting him/herself and or his/her child - the predator will simply choose another victim. That's great for person A - but I'd have to say from a legal perspective that the negative effects of being listed on a sex offender registry far outweigh any benefits, particularly if it just means someone else is getting victimized (that's zero percent improvement statistically). We could push it to the extreme - let's say everyone with internet can access these pages, and protect themselves 100% - that puts people without internet connections at risk - hardly equality. You see, you can't have equality when people are being singled out. Criminals can't recover if they are expected to always be a criminal. It's a scarlet letter - that's all. -- LTP :)
