What do we do with pyromaniacs, psychopaths, sociopaths, or any other dangerous mental condition people are “born” with? We deem they are too dangerous to society to be left unmonitored and are institutionalized or force-medicated for the public’s safety.
Believe me when I say me feelings on pedophiles go beyond what most people consider revolting in their darkness and I am not making excuses or taking their side at all.
No matter how “progressive” our society gets parents will never let predators stalk their children, this goes beyond our norms and straight down to the primal urges like food and self preservation. Let them try and allow these monsters to roam free by law once they are found, the vast silent majority will be so enraged if they did it the backlash would be immediate and decisive.
In a way I hope they do try and legitimize perverts by using the courts, the topic is so polarizing and the hatred is so strong and deep towards what they are there’s probably no other topic that would bring people from every leaning politically together to crush these ultra liberal morons, this would make Roe vs. Wade look like a small claims case in comparison.
