- Yeah! Kill them all on the first conviction! And kill all the people who cheat on their taxes! And kill all the people who look different than me! And kill all the people with better stuff than I have! No empathy or pity for anyone! Ever!
except me.

Naw--just the rapists, murderers etc. Those who physically harm should lose their membership and those who do not want to end up the same way--should not do the bad. If our laws on these issues were punitive enough AND consistent there would be less of it. If not because humans stopped being so hateful to each other--then at least because so many would not get that second chance to do it again. As for you or your taxes or for people who look different...let the actions be the common denominator. Kill all who physically (and intentionally) harm others, no matter what race or if they pay their taxes or not. The recidivism rate will diminish, if nothing else. - Reply to this comment

- While I understand the reasoning behind ''Megan''s Law'', there are also some serious problems with it. For one thing people guilty of other violent crimes, once they have served their sentence, are not required to register their address or have it posted on the internet.
I also remember seeing a TV documentary a while ago, about a guy who was married and had 2 teenage children. When he was only 17 himself, he had a 16 year old girl friend. Her parents objected to their daughter seeing him and had him charged with ''statutory rape'' since she was under age of consent. He was let go with probation, but no jail time, due to his being less than a year older than the girl, but apparently it still appeared on his record. Years later, when in his 30s, he applied for a job that required security clearance, and they found the old conviction record. It turns out, he was supposed to register as a ''*** offender'' for the rest of his life, but he claimed he didn''t know that. I don''t remember the final outcome, but not only was he denied the job, but he was facing charges of violating his parole terms. Imagine if he had registered, his life would have been ruined, and some nut might have tried to kill him! The ironic part of the whole story is once the girl graduated High School , he married her, and was still married to her when all this came back to haunt him! - Reply to this comment
- One less rapist in the world--why so much condemnation? If we can acquit cops for tasering and beating people even when it is caught on tape, we can acquit men of killing *** offenders. Maybe if they knew that the wages of that sin was death, there''d be a lot less of it. Hope a jury acquits him and he goes back home. NO empathy or sympathy for child molesters , murderers, robbers, or rapists.

- "Society may see the action I took as unacceptable in the eyes of ''normal'' people," Oliver said. "I felt that by not taking evasive action as a father in the right direction, I might as well have taken my child to some swamp filled with alligators and had them tear him to pieces. It''s no different."
So you did just that because now you child will get to grow up without a father. This is an example of dumber than dirt. He didn''t think it through now his child will think of him as a murder for the rest of his life. - Reply to this comment
- "Oral copulation with a person under 14 or by force" was what he was convicted of doing. If that was actually the charge and the website listed it properly, it is easy to see how a person with a child would assume the action that resulted in the charge was for the former. With the ''remember the children witchhunts'', it is easy to see how an undereducated person could be whipped up to a frenzy of ''I did it to protect my child and I''d go it again'' type of vigilante action.
This guy had to kill the evil man to protect his family. He couldn''t be bothered to move, he couldn''t be bothered to investigate what the victim actually did to warrant his *** offender status, he could only kill the perverted monster that lived in his neighborhood. It was the only way to save his child from being eaten by alligators. - Reply to this comment
- "But a listing on the Megan''s Law Web site could have left Oliver with the impression that he had abused children because of the way that it was written."
Then that website should bear some legal responsibility for what happened. Get it right or get sued. - Reply to this comment
