That we're now storing sex offenders under bridges is hardly the worst thing to happen in the long struggle over sex crimes. Not compared with what happened to the victims.

Common sense from a left-wing rag?

But putting them under bridges, like trolls?

LOL
Why not?

There's got to be a better way. . . Nobody wants sex offenders around.

Wow. That sounds really complicated.

Brilliant. They got three squares, a cot, heat and running water when serving their sentence. Turning them into street people sounds like a motivation to reoffend—traumatize another girl for life and get better living conditions.

Just brilliant.

Why not???

“So officials gave him a sleeping bag and a rain poncho, then told him to stay under this bridge, 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., until further notice.”

What...did they make him promise to stay there or did he have to sign a committment card.

The only argument I can think against it is that if that's the best we can give them, then there is a huge incentive for them to commit a new crime to get back in jail. Heaven forbid they choose the crime they know best.

If the premise is that these pieces of human flotsam are too dangerous to live amongst us (and for the most part, they are), then why not make it a mandatory life sentence for their crime? Which is cruel and unusual, life incarceration or life under bridges and in the woods?

Arm 16-year-old girls and maybe his next victim will simply blow his brains out when he attacks her.

The trolls in fairy tales were good reasons for the characters to stay away from the bridges, maybe these fairy tales can be part of real life now with real life trolls!

I see a chance for a slum lord who can buy a dumpy house out in the middle of nowhere to charge the state a fortune to house these things.

Of course I am also all for tattooing a big letter P on their forehead as a caution to others they meet.

how about an "escape from new york" solution?

build an enclosure, toss them into it, and let them sort things out.

> SNOHOMISH — The patch under the bridge is closed in by brambles. Rodent tracks crisscross in the dirt. It may be dry, but still it’s not fit for human habitation.

Why are they giving this perfectly-good habitation to a child molestering troll? For homeless folk, under a bridge is prime real estate: very dry, quite warm and usually pretty safe.

That’s just what the homeless folk need: another predator to watch out for. Sanctioned, no less, by the local government. What did the homeless folk ever do to deserve that?

If they can’t find the child molesterer proper quarters, stick him back in gaol amongst the general population.

Maybe he’ll meet Maddie Dullbite under there and they can trap some billygoats together.

"Under a bridge is the best of the options we had left."

He should have been ordered to stay at a council-person's home until he found an opening... of one sort or another.

. He is a Level 3 — high risk for reoffending. He is not deemed so dangerous, or his crimes so serious...

Yeah, being raped is really neat and the 16 year old should be happy she had the experience. If he's considered high risk, there's a better place for him than the bridge: jail. Rape used to be a capital crime, btw.

This is common here in Washington state - these convicted perverts are registering as homeless upon release from custody and thus making tracking them difficult.

Good old Washington State.

If I were Dino Rossi, I’d have a field day with this.

Here’s a notion - execute Level 3 sex offenders.

Not in a deep blue state with a fountain downtown that looks for all the world like a dedication to Man-Boy love.
