"Yet on the flip side of that coin, if my actions saves just one child, then all was worth it!"
There's the libs' argument turned right back around at them.
A sexual predator predator?
"A study by a nonpartisan think tank in Olympia recently concluded that sex offenders have the lowest recidivism rates of all types of felons."
Like the little girl in Florida, yes?
I call BS..
Must have been from the NAMBLA Research Institute.
Sex Offender Recidivism Rates (small PDF).
"I am sorry that I felt the need to kill two people in order to have my message heard," he wrote to The Seattle Times from jail in September. "Yet on the flip side of that coin, if my actions saves just one child, then all was worth it!"
Wow. Now that is just perfect! This guy is going to make an awesome Poster Child for Dems running in '06 and '08! *Snort*
I suspect they only included in their study the two offenders that Mr. Mullen took care of.
I have always heard that sex offenders' recividism rates is the HIGHEST of all felonies. Rape and pedophila are not like alcoholism and drug use, you cant quit with 12 step program. there is some kind of chemical imbalance that drive people to force them others sexually. Of course a tolerant society, an enlightened society, like the ones dreamed of in massachusetts, berkeley and madison consider sex offences a mild social deviation..
He was just doing what the courts refuse to do?
Hmmm, I wonder if they're playing statistical games - say, for example, grouping some schmuck who has an affair with a 17 3/4-year-old girl along with serial pedophiles and rapists in calculating recidivism rates. You know the old saying about lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Let that be a lesson to other sex offending scumbags.
I've seen studies both ways - high and low recividsm rate.
What I haven't seen is any study on the effectiveness of registration on rates.
"I am sorry that I felt the need to kill two people in order to have my message heard," he wrote to The Seattle Times from jail in September. "Yet on the flip side of that coin, if my actions saves just one child, then all was worth it!"
This is a tough call.....
If Society keeps letting these Molesters off with a slap on the wrist. Isn't it our Duty to protect the innocent???
maybe this would give pause to some N.A.M.B.L.A. members.
show them that the "Law" may not be a place to Hide behind.
The word Vigilante contains the word Vigilant in it.
Bush called the Minutemen at the border "Vigilantes"
the Bible says some will call Good , evil... and Evil, good.
Yes. Different types of crimes and criminals will have different rates. However all are lumped together under sex offender registration.
It's gotten to the point where the media report the perp as "sex offender" when it could be everything from flasher to child raper-killer.
It becomes an almost meaningless category.
An being armed does not hurt either.
