There is a fact. One you have continued to overlook.
57 year olds generally arent on the List because way back in the 60's they decided to date their girlfriend when they were 18.

But you can pick and choose what to believe if it makes you feel better. 🙂

Why is that a fact ... cause you are saying so?

regardless ... you are still generalizing, which has nothing to do with facts.

statistically the chances of getting struck by lightning are less than someone winning the lottery, but i personally know 1 person who's been struck by lightning and 0 people who have won the lottery.

and what does that prove? absolutely nothing.

EDIT: i still don't buy your "generally" argument. in 30 years from now, the 24 year old will be 54. i don't see why its so hard for you to believe someoone in 1976 could have done something to get on the list and now is 57.

Remember that case out in Seattle I think it was here a year or so ago. 2 Lvl III offenders were offed by some guy claiming to be FBI.

People dont go out and kill someone who streaked across the football field during a game.

But lets make it interesting. Wanna make a friendly wager out of it?

I'll call that assuming when you have absolutely 0 proof to go by. That's pretty damn ignorant in itself, as is your support for this kid who killed 2 guys.

Call it what you will the fact remains. 57 year olds dont become registered sex offenders for dating thier high school girlfriend.

Oh so now you are "guessing" when he became a registered sex offender?

sweet! more ignorance from you.

Like I said, until the databse comes back online no one knows.
But all the FACTS are there. Scared of that word arent you. Most liberals are.

So I say again, wanna make a friendly wager on it? Say a buck, cause thats roughly equal to a soda.

If it says he was convicted of child molestation later when the site comes up, you are saying it is false? 😕 So you are doubting the justice system?

Then you say the justice system correctly let OJ out?

Hell I dunno. I'm not the maker or keeper of facts.
But it doesnt change it any when I say the majority of older people on the List aint there for something they did back in 1960.

no i'm not saying its false. i'm just saying this guy is making a huge assumption that he thinks justifies the murder of these 2 guys who are marked as sex offenders, when many examples (in this thread alone) have arose stating how little of something could get you on that list, and will keep you there for life.

Sure did. See what happens when you use facts?

but until that ... you had no clue and were all happy and praising this murderer with no facts.

Because I knew damn good and well why he was on there.
Tell you what, find me ONE individual on ANY sexual list over 50 who isnt there for molesting a minor in some way shape or form.
Find me one of those "Peeing alongside the road" cases.

also, that doesn't mention once what the date was when that happened.


Still denying facts eh? Did democraticunderground have a containment breach again??

I have never agreed with the decision to post the sex offender list to the public. especially when it list the persons name, pictures and addresses.


I so agree with this...

This has in the past lead to some very serious issues of abuse from the public. And again, the public does not know the actual facts of every case. Online you just get a very brief synopsis of the conviction. So you really don't know the surrounding facts.

Well, all we can do is assume. It is human nature. Your decision to assume that the listing was due to statutory rape was the same thing as him assuming the men did worse. Why does it matter what date it happened? He RAPED a CHILD. END

As for the younger guy, still not sure what he did as sexual abuse of a child could be for many reasons. He could have fondled a child for all we know or banged the wrong chick while in hs. Either way, we all assume until we see the real evidence, it is called human nature. It's not like were the ones killing people on assumptions. You don't know if the kid who killed them, knew them or not.

i swear dude ... you just like have a problem with reading comprehension don't you. never once did i disprove or approve any facts. i just gave my opinions on your point of view that had no facts to back it up.

and again, no where in your little snippet, does it mention when this guy performed this act that labeled him as a sex offender.

i'm not saying he did it when he was 18. i'm not saying he did it when he was 57. i'm saying i have no clue how old he was when it happened.

i hope that is clear enough for you, since the last few posts i made seemed to slip right over your head.

read my posts again. i never once assumed it was statuatory rape. all i did was say there is no way you can think this is justified without having any facts at hand about what went on with this guy and why he's labeled a sex offender.

if they are going to post their personal info they should also post the facts as to what they were convicted of

lets say you have children and you find out your neighbor is a convicted sex offender because he was 18 and had sex with his 17 year old girlfriend (willingly) 1 month before her 18th birthday

granted you may have a 2nd guess, would that REALLY be a danger to society?

i still think killing those guys was wrong, just because people are wrongfully accused/convicted all the time

The younger guy was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor, not a child.

What's the age range of a minor?

Uhh, is purbeast thinking that maybe 30 years ago, this guy was convicted of having sex with his 17 year old girlfriend? I believe the circumstantial evidence that we have so far points to this guy having been convicted of something more serious.

Also, while I don't condone this kid's actions, if he was suicidal and decided that instead of going down in a hail of gunfire after shooting a few kids in his school, he was going to pick some of the worst offenders on the sexual offenders registry, then I suppose the world is a little better off with his decision.

Definitely it does! I certiainly wont argue that. The fact someone canshow their boobs at a concert and be labelled a sex offender is ridiculous if you ask me.

But, I know if I was living next to one of those "rapist" teachers I'd want to know. After all, I've been told I look very young so....... 😉 😱
 
Most places wont charge for statutory rape if the woman was willing and over 14. Our district attorney refuses to take cases where both parties are over 14 and willing participants. Kids that old know what is wrong and right they just choose to do wrong or choose to act they way they do.

Murderers get out of jail too, you know? Should we set up a database for murderers as well?



The fact is, this database of sexual offenders is not the way to solve this problem. I used to this it was. I used to be all for it.

But honestly, the fact that most sexual offenders do commit a 2nd crime, means that the sentences for sexual offenses are too lenient, not that we need to set up a way so that anyone can easily find out about their past and judge them accordingly for the rest of their lives.

Give harsher jail time, longer probation, and more counseling... this online database just isn't the answer.

Just my opinion.
 
I think online database is a good thing, but I am not sure if it should give someone's exact address, just general area. That way, the community will be notified that there is an offender in the area, without giving the person's exact address out for people to harrass them or otherwise commit violence.

Sexual abuse is not stautory rape.

Actually, it is.

Title 17-A: MAINE CRIMINAL CODE
§254. Sexual abuse of minors
1. A person is guilty of sexual abuse of a minor if:


A. The person engages in a sexual act with another person, not the actor's spouse, who is either 14 or 15 years of age and the actor is at least 5 years older than the other person. Violation of this paragraph is a Class D crime; [2001, c. 383, §21 (amd); §156 (aff).]

That's what he was convicted of. Is it that hard to find & read a law? The citation was right there. But it's easier to get everyone wipped up into a fury by assuming.
