This morning, my hometown newspaper, the L.A. Times, carried the headline Fixes in Jessicas Law Are Urged. The sub-head read: Tight residency curbs on sex offenders can leave them homeless and propel them to re-offend, a panel says.
For those of you fortunate enough to live someplace where the Times isnt your local daily, let me assure you that a similar news story runs nearly as regularly as Doonesbury and Dennis the Menace.

I have a suggestion. Put the rapists and pedophiles in the graveyard, under 6 feet of dirt. I know that sounds harsh, but I am really tired of these animals being released and harming another child or innocent victim.
I would agree with you if it were not for false accusations.
You make a valid point. Do you think false accusations are a big problem? I know it happens, but I truthfully have no clue on the size and scope.
20% of those accused are exonerated by the DNA, FBI lab statistic.
Thanks-I was not aware of that.
here is a hint it isn't a volcano.
Beyond a shadow of doubt...they should be executed.
A cemetery address for these perverts was what I was thinking as well.
I agree that these people should be left in prison or executed; but let’s face it — that ain’t gonna happen in Clintonbushobamaland. Oprah, the media, and the ACLU would have a fit! However, it seems to me that this presents a business opportunity for some smart entrepreneur.
All around the country, there are empty warehouses in industrial parks, nowhere near parks and schools. Why not retrofit these as housing? The ex-cons could get housing, they’d all be in one place and could be bussed to work (at a nominal fee, of course) and easily monitored.
This has been something that’s bothered me for a long time. I support sterilization or even harsher punishments for pedophiles (the death penalty for serial child rapists; thank you, “Justice” Kennedy for eliminating that option for us), but if we’re not going to do that, and instead decide to have these strict residency rules and other laws that restrict the creeps, then I think it’s in the public interest to make darn sure it doesn’t lead to a situation where they’re homeless and have nothing to live for. That kind of person, I think, is going to be even more likely to offend again because, what the heck, their life has no other purpose anymore and jail would be a better situation than what they have now, so why not do it?
But if we ain’t gonna kill ‘em,
how about Alcatraz?
That ain’t a bad idea. If you are rapist or a pedophile, you should never see the light of day again. As it is now, to many of them do. It’s not about rehabilitation or even about punishment, it’s about protecting the vulnerable of our society. The Left seems so concerned with our children’s education, health, etc..., but they seem more than willing to “rehabilitate” and release criminals. The net result is monsters are released into society to do more damage. I don’t know how an innocent child or woman would ever get over being violated. I do know we, as a civilized society, have an obligation to prevent as much of it as we possibly can. To me, that means not having these people loose in society.
In the age of video, one could obtain photographic or video evidence of pedophilia.
Men are not hanged for stealing horses, but that horses may not be stolen.

How about we send them to live at 1600 PA Ave in Washington, and with the lib lawmakers/judges/lawyers that advocate for their re-integration with society??
And the age of video is coming when it will be unreliable as it can and will be completely computer generated and indistinguishable from the real thing.
