I hear ya, I share a similar opinion, and vehmently detest these people, the crimes they commit and the way the criminal justice system handles them, especially when one of them ends up on the street again, and is in a position to perpetrate what has to be the most demented and vile (sp?) crimes one can think of. It is enough to make you want to turn vigilante. This kind of crime compels one to want to do something about it, and I find it unacceptable that we have not found a better way to mitigate this problem, especially these people who have been released, only to repeat these kind of crimes. In other countries, there exists barbarism to the extent one cannot even imagine unless you research what goes on in many areas of the world, I do believe we live in a great country and we strive for excellence, but somehow this problem persists, and the tragic criminal results are still occurring at an appalling level. I have no comprehension of how someone can and will do this to another person, especially a child, and I think they have no fear of the consequences because of the fact they have been released into society again, this aside from ones who have contemplated doing these things for the first time, they too have no fear of their actions whatsoever. I don't think it's an easy task to expose or rehabilitate these kind of people to the extent they won't do it again or never do it at all, but the punishments should exceed the barbaric'ness of the crime, if you get my drift. I mean that and believe in it, if one decides that they are going to perpetrate an act such as we have seen and been appalled by so many times, and have hurt so many people and their famlies, I see no other way. The only thing that causes me grief is, being absolutely sure you have the perpetrator, 100%, and in that case, there should be no mercy and no leniency no matter what, and the punishment should be absolutely barbaric, excessively cruel, publicized, and broadcast for everyone to see. Even at that, the cunning and determined will still be out there, and as a parent, it makes your job very difficult, because you have to make sure your kids are educated, prepared and can take action if confronted with this kind of situation. Parents have to shelter their kids today, never let an eye off them, kids have no freedom because of this element, used to be the bully at school you worried about most. These predators know this and wait for the rare moment when the door of vulnerability opens. I do realize this is really way off the discussion outline here, yet it irks me enough to contribute, my apologies for that, but I give you a lot of credit to have enough courage to post something as OT as this here.
