A chicken in every pot! A sex offender in every trailer!

[Sonny Limatina]

I found the following tidbit in several different news stories about that horrible murder of a little girl in Indiana:

A state website shows that 15 registered sex offenders live in the park that numbers about two dozen homes.

What.

The.

15 out of 24 were registered sex offenders.

Mom sent little girl to neighbor's trailer because mom was tired. To be fair, he wasn't on the sex offender list--one of the nine good ones.

He'd only been arrested for assault and trespassing.

One, just one, 357 magnum to the back of the head.

Just one.

For mom or POS white trash neighbor?

 

[blunt_trauma]

makes sense. they can't get decent jobs & housing with their criminal records so they're concentrated in trailer parks and the like.

This story is out of Fort Wayne which is my neck of the woods. Let me just say that the ratio of sex offenders in the trailer park is not at all surprising to me.

Is it wrong to wish for a tornado?

 

[Colonel Hogan]

How many of the 15 were "double wides"? Just curious.

I was thinking the same thing!

I strongly advise people to not look into the details of this story. It is one of the most disturbing things I've seen in a long time. I'm actually surprised they've released the details so soon and in so much detail.

Agreed, all around.

Of course, saying it has the opposite effect, but still.

Too late.

It's very twisted.

I am often on the edge myself...but when it's an innocent child, I can't help but want the bastard dead.

Same here. For every unscrupulous prosecutor willing to bend rules to railroad someone to death row, there seems to be an unrepentant monster who preys on children.

I do not wish anyone dead but if asked for a reason why some people should live I'm not sure I could come up with one.

In other words, three-fifths of the occupied units there house a registered sex offender. That's an extraordinary concentration in Indiana, which has only 137 registered sex offenders per 100,000 population — the third-lowest figure of all 50 states, according to data compiled by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Seven other registered offenders live within 2 miles of the trailer park, the registry shows — meaning nearly 5 percent of all of the county's 537 registered sex offenders live within a short walk of one another.

Allen county is a fun place.

I'm with ya on this one sista

Other than a .357 to the back of the head, I haven't read any constructive solutions to addressing this societal problem.

Life without parole?

Death penalty for sex offenders?

 

[ChinaBandit]

Why bother?

I don't believe the Chinese bother with registering child rapists.

in some states pissing on the side of the highway can get you on the sex offender registry.

The problem with the sex offender registry is that it's way too broad. That needs to be fixed first. An 18 year old who has sex with his/her 16 year old girl/boyfriend is not a sex offender. Things like that screw up a persons life.
After that's fixed, send them away forever. No reason to bring parole into it. It's been shown they won't stop.

That's what I'm saying. The whole thing needs fixed.

All good points but don't forget the cost of keeping all of those sex offenders incarcerated for life. Is it worth raising your taxes or cutting something else?
