On the day that fliers announced a registered sex offender had moved into a Puyallup neighborhood, a woman welcomed him with an aluminum baseball bat.

"I kept swingin' and swingin' and swingin," court documents say Tammy Gibson told police, who arrested her in Cottonwood Mobile Home Park.

Gibson has been charged with second-degree assault and felony harassment

Why is it so hard the think of the restrictions as PART of the sentence, still being served.

I can understand that argument, but the way that many of these restrictions are set up, these are lifetime bans. So, essentially, they will always be serving their sentence.

I fully support the death penalty for child molesters, so I'm not being soft on crime. However, if we're going to release them, I don't think these lifetime restrictions on where they live are just.

I meant legally and morally you can't do that.

Did anyone here actually read the article? The perp is currently 24 years old. His conviction occurred 10 years ago - that puts him at 13 yo when the offence was committed — the offence of looking at the privates of two 5 yo girls.

No telling what 10 years of prison has done to him, but I don’t think the death penalty is appropriate for a 13yo with too many newly minted curious hormones.
