Scared

Published on April 19, 2006 By Dr Guy In Current Events

It seems a Canadian has done what the US government and all the laws of the land could not. Made sex offenders scared!

IN an action that no one has been able to explain yet, Stephen Marshall picked some names off the Maine Sex Offender registry and went a hunting. He killed 2 of them before killing himself. While I can in no way condone his vigilante actions, apparently now many sex offenders are getting scared that someone else may try his trick.

Said one sex offender:

"It's really scary," said Raymond Roberts, a sex offender who is listed on the registry and lives near the victims. He asked that his hometown not be identified. "I live alone. I live way out in the country and basically I could be here for days, a dead body, shot."

I have no sympathy for Mr. Roberts. For I can only imagine the daily horror his victims have to live through. If they live at all (I assume so since he is not still in Jail). While the murder of 2 of his fellow fraternity members was unjustified and wrong, I am not going to lose any sleep over his losing sleep.

Perhaps Stephen Marshall just persuaded a few potential sex crime candidates to rethink their ways. If so, then at least there will be something good that comes out of his actions.

I think we may have finally found a deterant. Drastic, yes. But I am glad they are getting a taste of their own medicine.

I don't agree with this. I don't agree with them being mixed in with the rest of us, mind you, given that their status brands them a danger. Taking action against them, though, makes the arguments of folks like the ACLU resonate. If enough are harassed and killed, they'll be able to make a solid case AGAINST having sex offender registries.

Add to that the fact that many people are too much of an idiot to actually take the time to find out what the person did and the circumstances. There are a lot of people walking around with the label "sexual assault" because their crackhead girlfriend got mad at them, or their college sweetheart had to "explain things" to daddy. What about all the husbands who had been given custody of their kids until their bitter ex-wives started accusing them of being a molester?

I think there is no point in allowing a self confessed child molester to live. That's up to the law, or the wronged. Sex offender laws, though, tend to lump a lot of things together, and like any law, a lot of innocent people get branded. If we do take the law into our own hands, we have absolutely no reason to harm people who haven't harmed us. Leave that to the families they harmed.

If someone messes with your kids and you know for sure they did it then you have to decide if enough has been done. If one moves in next door to you, you have to decide how comfortable to make it for the person based on what you can find out about them. There's no excuse for hunting people down just because you find their name on a website.

WOW! A lot of anger, and I understand the reticence and the anger. Yes, a wrongfully accused rapist is being branded the same as a pedophile. That must change. But there is a lot of indecision there as well. You emoted well, but did not enumerate very well. I agree that the "date rape" person should not be in the same league as the pedophile. I am not condoning the murders, but the speaker here is not denying his crime, only voicing his fear. Which I hope all the guilty will voice. And fear. I dont want to see any more murders, but like I said, perhaps a few less felons?

What if you discovered that Mr. Roberts' only crime was having consensual sex with his 15 year old girlfriend when he was only 18? Or perhaps, like many low income people wrongly accused of crimes, Mr. Roberts pled guilty to a crime he was innocent of at the advice of an overworked, underpaid, and generally apathetic public defender?

What if you found out that Mr. Roberts raped a 6 month old baby?

"You emoted well, but did not enumerate very well."

You seemed to get the feel of it pretty well. Praising the hunting of registered sex offenders just makes you a tool for the ACLU, and brings more pain to bear on the many wrongfully accused and those who don't deserve to be lumped in with child molesters and rapists.

I have no problem with streamlined death penalties or 'leper colony' exile for anyone who admits to preying upon children. I think they have no business in society, nor should we have to pay a dime toward their upkeep. I don't, however, think people who share my views should so happily give ammunition to asshats like the ACLU who would prefer there to be no sex offender registry at all.

Every "hell yeah" blog that's written on this is just one more little citation the ACLU can tag onto their next effort to deny our right to know who in our neighborhood is a threat. You're doing a service for people I, and I think you, hate. I would expect such an act to draw criticism.

The penalty for that is not death, and to see you jubilant over such a thing (regardless of your numerous disclaimers) is disgusting.

and you've probably never had a loved one raped, molested, and threatened with a knife at her throat, or had her hemmorage because she was only 6 years old,
people that defend the so called rights of these pigs is what's disgusting.

Okay, I'm a little confused now, reading some of the above responses. Are we talking about sex offenders or are we talking about paedophiles. From Doc's article, I thought it was just sex offenders (not that there is anything 'just' about people who force themselves on others).

As Baker and Dick Gozinya pointed out, those charged with sex offences are sometimes charged under dubious circumstances, as in the 18 year old boy and 15 year old girl. Sure, they've made a mistake and they've probably suffered because of the stigma. But does this put them in the same bracket as a paedophile? Does this mean their lives should hold less value than yours or mine?

Paedophiles, on the other hand, are a completely different case. I don't agree with capital punishment in any form, be it state-sanctioned or vigilante, as this case appears to be. But these sick people should not be allowed the same quarter as the rest of us. They should be excluded from general society and the further away, the better, I say.

This is not a "hell Yeah" blog. It is simply "I do not bleed for you" blog. You seem to think that everything has to be black and white. Not everything is. I think I made my statement clear, I dont condone the vigilanty, but then I do not mourn the "poor me" of the criminal (not victim) either.

If you cannot understand that, I am sorry, Sometimes a cigar is just a good smoke.

Trudy, do not sully yourself with this POT. I checked. It is a real POT. I am sorry I did not delete it before hand but will now.

He just joined and now is just BLed. Carlie Bruscia deserves better.

Sex offenders. No confusion. Forget that Dick guy. I stated that I do not condone the murder of the sex offenders. But I cannot deny I am sorry that they are reticent now.

Simply put, a man murdered 2 people, convicted of sex crimes. Now sex criminals are afraid. I dont like the methods nor do I condone them. But I will not deny the results.
