Katie Couric's Sympathy For The Perverts (my title)

WFLA ^ | 11-11-2005 | Pat Campbell

Hour 2: Chris Hansen did this excellent expose on Dateline NBC last week. In the piece they posed as young boys on the internet and lured sexual predators to a home. Once the men entered the home they confronted them. Besides the rabbi, there was a doctor, a special education teacher, an army man, a defense contractor, a medical student… the list goes on. Not one of these men, if you saw him on the street would stand out in a crowd. This piece was a scary view into the world of internet predators. What is your major malfunction guys!

I am beginning to wonder if her husband Jay is dead or just hiding from her.

[lonster]

one problem i see with the latest view on sexual preditors is that lately the law seems to lump them all into the same catagory. the man who is foolish enough to trust a false statement of age by a 16 year old girl about her age is cast into the same light as a sicko who rapes little boys and girls over and over again. there must be some kind of common sense way to approach this.

[TravisBickle]

This shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

The whole looney left has been saying for years that sex crimes are not really crimes. Is it any wonder that the prevalence of this type of activity has gone through the roof. Now, I'm sure lust for children and teenagers has been going on for a long time, but it was taboo. Now, anything goes as long as it's consensual.

[subterfuge]

Y'all are funny!

[subterfuge]

"Were guys literally running down the street to get away from the interviewer?"

Yes. They were scrambling to hide their faces and put their clothes on and run like the wind.

Absolutely correct. If you get taking a leak on a golf course you can be entered into the same data base as the pervs.

[Melas]

Again with this same damned sick post. You post this in almost every thread dealing with any kind of sex crime. I'm beginning to wonder what the hell is wrong with you.

[GSlob]

And again the same objections to the old lex talionis coming from your direction. Lex talionis is not sick. I am at least within an old and venerable tradition, which is more than I could say about you, at least in this instance.

[Melas]

Not sick? The slow cruel death of a man, any man, even the worst of us is incredibly sick. And you make sick jokes about chair rentals and beer concessions? What kind of twisted freak are you that you would find this entertaining?

[Melas]

FYI, Crucifixion is an old and venerable tradition, but it would still take a sick freak to want to carry one out.

[Mamzelle]

The sentiment "what's wrong with you men" is not an irrational one, although a guy who behaves himself is right to resent it.

I think the same thing myself when I see a grown man leering at a teenager, thinking that leering is OK. It does remind one that nature is not a reliable moral compass.

[DBeers]

poing!

The Natural Laws Can Not Be Denied
- Resistance Is Futile!

[GSlob]

The offender is to be punished in the offending members. And the slow and cruel death is precisely what some offenders deserve - not even for their own sake [they are wasted material anyway], but for the sake of the educational effect on the others which is to be maximized. Liberal coddling of the criminals gave us the present deplorable results.

[Melas]

Since you claim to have naturalized and become an American citizen, I'll direct you to the founding fathers of this great nation. Please, please, avail yourself to the writings of these great men. In particular read the 8th Amendment and the wealth of information they left behind on why cruelty is CONSTITUTIONALLY PROSCRIBED in this nation. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you just don't know any better, and don't understand the American position on barbarism such as you're describing.

[GSlob]

I read it differently : "cruel and unusual" - but in the proportion to the offense. And for egregious offenses an otherwise egregious punishment would seem to me to be entirely appropriate and not at all unusual or undeservedly cruel - actually, quite the opposite.

[Melas]

Then you read it wrong. It was never left open for your personal interpretation. As I said in my last message, the founders left behind writings that made these things clear. In addition, you'll find that men who the founders openly admitted were influencial, left behind a wealth of information. Obviously, you're not familiar with any of them. I'll leave you to you own research.

However, I'll give you some tidbits that you can affirm. All methods of execution that weren't designed to bring about the direct and immediate death of the condemned were banned. In various writings, from various framers and their influences you'll find direct references to drawing and quatering, disembowelment, being burned at the stake, being bled to death, drowning and others. You're particular fetish for the slow death of a man trapped by his penis in a log isn't mentioned, but I think it's reasonable to assume that such sickness wasn't even considered by those who established this great nation.

If you're truly clueless as to where to start. I would suggest the Annals of Congress, 1789 for a start. Then perhaps the house and senate journals for the same year. Both are available either electronically or on microfilm at most larger libraries or any university library. You'll be surprised at just how specific these men were in their intentions and just how wrong you are.

[Aquinasfan]

I guess I can understand a lot of sin-- but I'm just clueless about men like this--what is the deal with men and kids?

Half the people you meet think turning unborn children into hamburger should be legal. You can't tell from appearances.

[DirtyHarryY2K]

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

For those interested there's a heated debate downthread about the inumane treatment of these animals punishment of the perverted perps.

If you want on/off the ping list let me and little jeremiah know.

[gidget7]

She also supported child killer Andrea Yates!

Of course there were a lot that showed up. Dateline went to a website specifically FOR hooking up with young boys. Every perv in the world knows where the sites are. And yes, they conveniently omit the correlation with homosexuality.

[gidget7]

Correct, and as a society, we should be shutting down these sites, and the people in them!!
