You have to kill them.
Sex offenders at state center are getting porn
The state’s treatment center on McNeil Island for its most predatory sex offenders is surrounded by concertina wire and security cameras. Mail and visitors are searched, and the staff can’t even bring iPods to work.
But that hasn’t kept some men held at the Special Commitment Center (SCC) from getting their hands on thousands of images of child pornography.
In the past two years, at least four of the 267 residents have been charged with possessing illegal pornography, and officials there are investigating several others. The latest case emerged just before Christmas, when the FBI arrested a 49-year-old child molester who had computer CDs full of graphic child pornography stashed in his room.
Managers of the SCC say they don’t know how the material is getting in. The most recent arrest has prompted at least one personnel investigation, though no one has been disciplined.
However it’s happening, the managers agree with law-enforcement leaders that it’s unacceptable. All of the men have proven, sexually violent urges and must undergo treatment before they can ever be released into society.
Well, what do you know? Government employees can be incompetent!
Not real big news there. We’ve seen government paid head-shrinkers let rapists and murderers loose over and over and over again, with the same old result: More rapes and more murders.
Which is why I was shocked when I saw that Louisiana actually got something right (link found at 4RWWs)
Supreme Court to rule on death penalty for child rape
The Supreme Court said on Friday it would decide whether the death penalty can be imposed for the crime of raping a child, expanding its review of how capital punishment is carried out in the United States.
The highest U.S. court agreed to hear an appeal by a Louisiana man who is the only person in the United States on death row for a crime other than murder. He is arguing the death penalty for child rape violates the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
This guy’d be dog food if it were up to me. “Rape” period: Child, adult, quadraped, etc., if you sexually violate anything with a state of consciousness higher than a cantaloupe, it would be a death penalty deserving offense.
But I’ll be called “unreasonable” anywhere but here for those ideas.
Oh, here are two more news stories from last week involving murders and rapists from just up the interstate
Convicted killer Brian Peak is set to be released from prison after serving 14 years for murdering 16-year-old Melanie Santiago in 1987.
Peak is moving in with his mother who lives across the street from a Lincoln Elementary School in Hoquiam.“It makes me furious, I’ve got two teenagers. There’s a grade school that only goes up to grade six living right across the alley.
That scares me to death,†neighbor Mary Anne Myers said.According to state documents obtained by KIRO 7 Eyewitness News, Peak has been diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic with a history of failing to take his medication.According to police, because of the laws at the time of Peak’s conviction, he is allowed to move in with his mother and will not be supervised by the Department of Corrections.
“They’re pretty much powerless to do anything to keep an eye on this guy once he’s out and we just want to ensure that the public is safe,†Sgt. Steve Fretts with the Hoquiam Police Department said.In response to public concern, Hoquiam police created a public bulletin about Peak’s release noting that he has the right to live as a “free man.â€
“I don’t think he belongs around the school, I really don’t,†neighbor Dennis Caruthers said.
Well then, you and all your now outraged neighbors shouldn’t have voted for the wuss candidate (aka: Any Democrat) back in the 80’s. This guy should be dead via the noose or the needle (yes, tossing his ass off the Space Needle counts as “The Needle” to me).
But for ultimate injustice, try this one
Joshua Hoge doesn’t need much spending money these days. Behind the locked doors of Western State Hospital, his basic needs — food, clothes and a constant stream of antipsychotic medications to keep his delusions at bay — are paid for by the state.
But Hoge has the chance to one day become a wealthy man.
From inside Western State, where he’s spent most of his time since stabbing his mother and brother to death with a butcher knife in 1999, Hoge is fighting to inherit part of his mother’s estate.
Should he succeed, it could be a windfall for the 37-year-old schizophrenic, who was found not guilty of the slayings by reason of insanity.
After Hoge killed his mother, Pamela Kissinger, her family won $800,000 in a civil suit against King County when it was determined that a public-health clinic had failed to give Hoge his medication and was partially responsible for the slayings.
Oh yeah! State screws up and gets the mother murdered, has to give her estate money, and now the murderous and still insane son is quite possibly going to get his hands on it to fund the lawyers that can get him out of the mental hospital early!
What is so damn wrong with offing a mentally deranged individual who is willing to murder? Just cause their brain is tweaked does not mean they should get a free walk around the bases. If they’d have been caught in the act by someone with enough wherewithal to stop it, they’d be dead.
Why the soft and cuddly after the fact?
I remember in To Kill A Mockingbird, rape was a capital crime – Atticus was considered successful because he got the black man he was defending a life sentence instead of a death sentence.
Now, whether that was real when the book was written, or just fiction, I don’t know.
How come the intent of the Founders is never applied to what is considered ‘cruel and unusual?’ At the time the Constitution and the BoR were written and ratified, hanging was pretty much the universal method of carrying out a death sentence – in public, too, IIRC. I’m sure the Founders knew this, and didn’t consider either part to be cruel or unusual. Now the sentence must be carried out away from public view, and in a way that doesn’t hurt too much. WTF?
Oh, and whatever happened to flogging? That wasn’t considered C&U in the late 18th century either. So why is it now? Gang bangers aren’t afraid of a short stay in prison – they might be afraid of 100 lashes.
