If you've ever lived in a small town, and from your comments I'm guessing you haven't, this is a jail sentence, maybe even worse.
If every sex offender was to suffer like I'm sure this guy is, no sex offender would ever need to be sent to prison. The towns folk will keep him in line, or perhaps even kill him if he tries anything.
Ever been to Hudson? I have. Hudson is definitely worse than a jail sentence. As long as he sticks to goats like everyone else, the neighbors will leave him alone.
That’s wonderful. Let’s rely on the townsfolk running 24/7 surveillance on the old dude and going Charles Bronson on him if he pulls any funny stuff. That’s a hell of a lot more efficient and effective than just putting him behind bars, where he belongs.
What's to keep him in that town? And how does one make it up to a kid who has been molested. "Well, gee, as soon as we found out, we strung him up. Sure, we knew he'd done it before. Uh . . .what? Why are you mad at us?"
