kids suck. sometimes they're cute when they're very small but once they start shitting, smelling and crying...ugh. especially in public, like on a plane or something. worse crap ever!
I'm with you on this Ed O. I would add that someone that attempted murder on hundreds of civilians should be put down, too. I'm also with you that crazy doesn't matter when it comes to the death sentence. If you do a crime that heinous, you are a menace to society...sane or not. With the death penalty there are no repeat offenders. Go Blazers
Is it really? It just takes somebody a split second to see an adult male hovering over a crying kid who isn't his before the cops get called, a report gets written up, and you're spending the night in jail. And even if you're exonerated, you'll still have that stigma around you from everyone in the neighborhood. If you are a 30 year old man and you are trying to help a seven year old kid you don't know crying alone on a sidewalk, you are probably in much greater danger than he is. If you don't realize that, you should.
So what? Now he can plead insanity and get committed instead of going to prison? With a little luck, after a few years of counseling, he can convince some dumb shit Californian psychiatrist that he's rehabilitated and, viola, he's doing your 2 year old daughter in the Safeway bakery. That don't work for me at all. Go Blazers
I think that's absolutely true. I remember once long ago, when I was a teenager, my family and some family friends were waiting outside a restaurant for our name to be called. While my dad was talking to his friend, a small child from some other party ran over and began acting friendly to my dad. He just smiled down at the kid and then the kid ran off again. My dad remarked to his friend, "I wanted to pat him on the head, but these days you can't take the risk of touching kids that aren't yours." That memory has always stuck with me, both as good sense and kind of a sad comment on the (perhaps justified) lack of trust in society.
Over 700 on death row in CA. At a cost of tens of billions $. Want tax cuts? Stop supporting the worst people in the world.
In many states that have "Good Samaritan" laws, by ignoring the child you could be arrested for not aiding. By not helping him you increase the chance a perv will come to his aid. At any rate I trust most people aren't quite as paranoid as you are about it, just careful. I coached youth baseball teams (sometimes coed) for many years and made it a practice to never be alone when giving the kids rides home.
Maybe not on the first offense. This isn't Ramos' first offense. Second offense with kids? That's a no-brainer. Go Blazers
I can't be honest about what words I would describe that man with. I really can't. The first word would be dead. There are two more I can't say, you probably get the idea. I just thank my lucky stars that I wasn't there to catch him doing that. I would have probably been a hero is prison, I hear they don't like molesters.
Monster is the word for me. Also, if that was my kid (which it wouldn't be, because I don't let my kids roam around stores without me, but if he snatched my kid), I would beat the guy with such rage that he would wish he was dead. Seriously, somebody would have to pull me off of him, and I'd still try to find ways to harm him once he was in custody.
I wonder how the cops would handle that situation... if you beat the guy to death, would they try to convict you?
It would be up to a jury. If a jury convicted me after I witnessed such depravity on my child, then that is a society that I wouldn't want to be a part of, anyway.
