Yesterday my last-day-on-the-job giddiness was dampened by some disturbing news. The pervert who raped and murdered nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford buried her alive. This apparently isn’t news. I don’t know how I missed it all this time.
I had the most un-Christian thoughts, and praying for this animal was the furthest thing from my mind. I hope he’s treated to a hot seat with plenty of amps.
Lawmakers are finally getting serious about stopping perverts from defiling and killing children. They realize that the sex offender registry system is a lethal joke. The Florida legislature is currently working on a law called The Jessica Lunsford Act, which would require child sex offenders to wear an electronic tracking device. Law enforcement should know where these fools are at all times. If it’s good enough for Martha Stewart, it’s good enough for your local neighborhood freak.
It took the rape and murder of a seven-year-old child named Megan Kanka for lawmakers to come up the sex offender registry in the first place. Under Megan’s Law, child sex attackers are required to register as sex offenders. Megan’s killer got the death penalty.
Many states have enacted similar laws, but how effective are they? Child molesters must register once they get out of prison, if they go to prison, that is. Do cops really keep up with these creeps? Hindsight is 20-20, but somthing similar to “Jessica’s Law” should have been enacted long ago. Why in the world would anybody trust predatory perverts to become law-abiding citizens and make their presence known, warning parents that they might be lusting after their children? Registering shouldn’t be up to these madmen in the first place.
