Police arrest homeless sex offender in library

If I am not mistaken; it seems there have been more of these freaks in the states with less harsh punishments.

Just a casual observation.
Might be wrong. I am far from "nuanced."

I'm often criticized for being "less than sensitive."

[alancarp]

But are the librarians allowed to stop it??

[claudiustg]

Hang him! Who's squeamish about this? It's just plain nuts to keep these perverts around.

[cyborg]

It is not allowed. You can't view sexually explicit material on the library computer. There's a little sign that says so right above the computer. Yes they mostly certainly can and have done so before.

[xjcsa]

The only piece of "good" news: the perp was charged with first-degree kidnaping, which carries an automatic life sentence in a state where "life" means life (no parole). Not as good as frying him to a crisp, but he won't do this again.

[msnimje]

Hopefully he will become the bride of the meanest guy in prison.

[Just Lori]

This is the lowest form of human excrement walking on the planet. He is worth one thing only. One bullet.

The solution for child molesters is 4 good men with axe handles, a rusty straight razor and a sense of justice

[GSlob]

In good old days the sexual offenders used to be set in a tree stump: a decent size (1.5-2 feet in diameter) tree stump of sound wood would be cleft in two from its top with a wedge. The sexual offender would be forced to sit on the stump with his appendages in the slot - and then the wedge was pulled out on him, with the pervert being left to rot in the stump in full public view, amidst general rejoicing. Just think of what a soft drink [or chair rental] concession would bring!

[azhenfud]

That pervert is in dire need of an accident.

One mother would easily do the job of the 4 men.

[claudiustg]

---Thank goodness he was REGISTERED! ---


We need some way to keep track of these people.



I think grave markers would do nicely.

[Petronski]

Yeah. It hurts to think about those cold crude moments. Just dayum.

[annelizly]

they ARE getting more brazen! Hope everyone watched the oprah show yesterday because she was pissed about this subject and called for first offense to be put behind bars for the rest of their lives!!

But I have to add, why the heck didn't they just smash the glass door to get to the child? perhaps it would have made the difference.

[cyborg]

I wonder what happens when these guys get old and feeble and can't care for themselves. It must be a terrible feeling to awaken to one's sins in the severe twilight of one's life.

[azhenfud]

"What is THIS guy doing out in public? What is it going to take people?"

A shooting?

[republican4ever]

Yep. Hanging is fiiiiine with me. Maybe that's why I like Toby Keith and Willie Nelson's "Beer For My Horses"....

[Right Wing Assault]

If he goes to prison, they will take care of him quickly.

A lot of libraries these days are essentially homeless shelters. Those folks stink and they even pee while sitting in the chairs. No need to go to the bathroom and lose your valuable computer time.

Combine that with parents who drop their kids off for hours at a time and then go out to dinner or shopping and more of this kind of thing will continue to happen.

When library workers heard the girl scream in the restroom, they saw an adult's shadow on the other side of the door's frosted glass, police said. When they couldn't force their way into the restroom, they called for a maintenance worker with a screwdriver, Willis said. Once the door handled was removed, they opened the door, pulled the child out and shut Effler inside.

Glad they were able to get to the perp, eventually, but frankly, if they heard a little girl scream in the bathroom and saw an adult's shadow through the door's frosted glass, why they heck did they wait for a maintenance worker to come and remove the doorknob? I would have smashed the glass immediately. I just pray that the time they wasted in trying to save the door didn't affect the little girl. (shudder)

[hatfieldmccoy]

Hmmm. Okay a mother with just the razor
