First story

He needs to be sent back to prison in PA asap for parole violations and forced to serve out the rest of his sentence.

This is crazy to allow a perp with his record of child rape back on our streets!

[Lion Den Dan]

I am surprised he is not "Dead Man Walking."

[glock rocks]

pedophiles cannot be cured. they should be executed. period.

[Jim Noble]

This is an example of a case where interested parties might well seek extrajudicial sanctions-because of the manifest failures of the "justice" system.

[GailA]

A civil lawsuit requires money, which most working families don't have. The perp doesn't have any so the majority of lawyers won't touch the case simply because there is NO money to be made.

Been there done that. UNLESS you are rich or the perp is RICH lawyers don't want to see you.

You also need to post the story about how the head of UT is the second highest paid university president in the United States.

I saw this article and the UT president article just a few moments ago when I went out to get the paper. The world has gone insane.

If that mom were ever on trial for shooting and killing this rapist/stalker, I wouldn't vote to convict. If the "law" can't take care of evil people like this, someone else will HAVE to. In Texas so many people have concealed gun permits. About everyone I know has guns. Lots of pick up trucks (for transporting dead body). A person like that stalker could just disappear.

[buffyt]

My daughter goes to UT. So THAT is where our money is going! She has run into a few liberals there. Now she has coined a phrase to describe them.... "Damn Liberal" I think she is one smart gal!

[buffyt]

TRUE!!!!

[wretchard]

The good news is that the sheriff is on the ball on this one; slapping him with a "spitting on the sidewalk" charge. The bad news is that these expedients are nowhere near enough to put him away for keeps. A story like this has no happy endings.

The cornerstone of our liberties is the presumption that a man is innocent of a crime until he actually commits it. That basis for withdrawing that presumption, in Druckemiller's case, will inevitably be provided by the broken body of a little boy or girl, and everybody knows it. But no matter! We should never be called upon to sacrifice our principles when we can furnish human ones instead.

[tutstar]

convicted pedophiles should go straight to the death chamber

[GailA]

Give me a few seconds..and it will be. I saw that..also did you see the Tennessean story last week where UT is doing a $500M building spree on the campus with MORE to come next year?

[GailA]

Pardon that was Vandy I get them cornfused.

[stlrocket]

I agree!

THE NECK TIE THIS PERVERT DESERVES!

I am sure that modern medical science could find a non-lethal solution to this problem. If he has no character, control, and so weak in spirit that he cannot even generate the horsepower to attempt to learn to control it (notice how he whines that he can't "control" it?) then the problem may be safely and permanently removed courtesy of the surgeon's scalpel. It's better for him, and cheaper for us, what's not to like?

[Truth Addict]

But no matter! We should never be called upon to sacrifice our principles when we can furnish human ones instead.

That has to be among the darkest sarcasm I have ever read. Our court system is clearly inadequate in protecting our children from these predators.

There was a time when such menaces were locked up in "insane asylums", not so much for their treatment, but to protect society from their predations. While there were abuses at these facilities, we need to return to a system like this, but with somewhat tighter controls.

In Florida, we have the Baker Act, which allows for involuntary admission to mental health facilities under certain conditions, among them:

Criteria: A person may be taken to a receiving facility for involuntary examination if there is a reason to believe that he/she is mentally ill and because of his/her mental illness:
(2). There is a substantial likelihood that without care or treatment he/she will cause serious bodily harm to him/herself or others in the near future, as evidenced by recent behavior.

This type of law ought to be used more often in these cases, but the psychiatric profession has been lowering the bar on defining sex offences as mental illness lately; they have already removed homosexuality as a mental illness, and they are close to doing the same with pedophilia. This must be reversed, and the Baker Act and other similar laws must be utilized to remove these predators, so our kids can walk through their neighborhoods without fear of molestation again.

My believe also if it works
Does it take away the urge or just the performance

[Tennessee_Bob]

then the problem may be safely and permanently removed courtesy of the surgeon's scalpel.

Unfortunately - that's not the problem. It's not a sexual thing, it's a power and control thing. Remove what you're talking about, and the pedophile still has ways to gain control.

There is no cure. Chemical/physical castration won't work. Death, on the other hand, guarantees zero percent recidivism.

[GailA]

hmm I guess that would mean he is a canidate for a lobotomy?

i will stand with my statement.
