Calif. Pol Touts 'Pedophile Island' for Sex Offenders
(May 21) -- California gubernatorial candidate Douglas Hughes has made quite a name for himself in recent weeks -- not so much by surging ahead in the polls, but rather by promising, if elected, to create a "Pedophile Island" for convicted sex offenders.
"I read the newspapers, and always somewhere buried in the paper somebody has [been] raped, tortured, kidnapped and so forth," Hughes told AOL News. "We are not getting anywhere [by] putting them back in the neighborhood. ... It's like any alcoholic, sex or drug addict -- have it around you, and it's just a matter of time before you do it again."
Hughes, a 73-year-old Republican and retired business owner, has been a resident of California since 1955. According to his political profile, he believes his biggest assets as a candidate are his relationship with God and his "practice of moral principles." His top priorities are children, jobs and border control.
If elected governor, Hughes says, he will give all convicted pedophiles a choice: remain in prison for life, leave California permanently or live on Pedophile Island -- a self-supporting, downright Utopian community he has envisioned.
California gubernatorial candidate Douglas Hughesl believes Santa Rosa Island, in Channel Islands National Park off the coast of southern California, would be a good spot to maroon convicted sex offenders.

Santa Rosa Island's new role as 'Pedophile Island' would make for a great place for naval gunfire training support for the Pacific Fleet.
I was gonna say... The Navy may have found a replacement for Vieques.

Hughes is heading in the right direction, but has the wrong solution. The only good pedophile is a buried pedophile.
Nancy Pelosi every Wednesday! Please, try the veal and tip the waitress!
I thought they already had that - San Francisco

I have another use for that island crooked politicians and corporate crooks...
Roman Polanski could be the mayor.
What’s wrong with Alcatraz?
It’s too small to hold all of the perverts and freaks now residing in California.
Can’t we just put them to death?
Make the island a wonderland for their surviving victims. Put the money into blessing and healing them.
Whatever Happened to Capital Punishment?
No pedophile is an island.
Or Escape from New York.
If we must let them live, then use the island for a nuke waste dump as well;that way if any escape, we can see their glowing butts...
If elected governor, Hughes says, he will give all convicted pedophiles a choice: remain in prison for life, leave California permanently or live on Pedophile Island
Gee...I wonder which option they’ll choose? Most likely they’ll leave california and come to one of our states. Nice of california to just shluff off their responsibility to punish these perverts and sic them on another states children.
