Sheriff: Father kills man sexually abusing his daughter

[earlycuyler]

o look ernie...the grand jury .....

again the man should have to account for his actions in a court of law.....

for some reason this idea seems foreign to a lot of posters on here....

Frankly, if it hadn't made the national news, I doubt the prosecutor would have even bothered the grand jury with it. But somehow, it's foreign to leftists on here that prosecutors have the option of not bringing charges at all.

It had to. Even when cops shoot people it does. And 9 times out of 10 Texas, as well as most states gets it wrong. All this "This is Texas" bull shit is crap. Texas normally treats sex offenders with kid gloves. Had this man been arrested, he would have been back raping kids in no time.

Where's the link to that statement about how Texas treats sex offenders with kid gloves, I have lived in Texas for 16 years and I'm not aware of that, you must have a source for this or are you just talking out of your ass?

First off douche wagon, I have gone through the system with my Daughter. Her molester was a three time offender who has just been caught after six years for not registering as a sex offender. His name (on my Daughters case) even made it up through a Grand jury on an accusation of molestation and got right through no problem. If you want one case to prove it Google this guy- Michael Joseph Snowden. Released to re-offend five more times. Yup. Thats some tough Texas justice right their, ill tell you what.

"One case happened this way, so EVERY case in the WHOLE FREAKING STATE is like this! It's their official policy because I say so!" I love anecdotal "evidence" . . . for proving who the real douche wagon is.

It's not just one case. There are TONS of similar cases out there. Child molestation cases are simply not treated the way that they should. No one convicted of such a crime should ever get out of jail. The simple fact is the sentencing is rather short for such a heinous crime with an extremely high rate of offending again.

Statistics on this is difficult to locate though due to the broad definition of child molestation:
Penalties for Child Molesters | eHow.com

A study conducted in New York concluded that the average person convicted of child molestation serves four months in jail and five years on probation. The average sentence for child molestation in Georgia is six years. In Rhode Island, one study conducted by Ross Cheit, a professor of public policy, concluded that between 1985 and 1993, 70 percent of individuals found guilty of child molestation served no prison time at all. Florida, on the other hand, has one of the most severe penalties, imposing a mandatory 25-year prison term for sex offenders. These studies demonstrate that the penalties for child molestation vary greatly from state to state.

I wonder if the Florida statistic includes people that showed a pornographic video to a minor? That fits the definition of a child molester according to the link...

Oh, I agree that child molestation - or any child abuse, for that matter - cases are not handled the way they should be. On the other hand, I don't think shooting molesters like rabid animals is going to go over well with the majority of the public.

Nevertheless, to claim that Texas as a policy is soft on child molesters and has no real interest in prosecuting them based on one case is absurd.

Hmmm . . . well, the specific question was about Texas, though, and rather than showing something broad and statistically-based about Texas, the poster chose instead to give us an emotion-driven rant about his one personal experience and try to present that as the normal policy of the state of Texas. That's called "anecdotal evidence", which isn't evidence at all, except of douche-wagonry, so rather than jumping my shit as though I somehow claimed that the nation is being sufficiently harsh in all respects on child molesters, you might try reading and understanding what was actually being said and responded to.

 

[FA_Q2]

Jumping your shit???

Boy, you just take anything as a personal attack don't you. I wasn't jumping anything. Anything that I pull up on Texas will be just as worthless as the average 4 months in NY and 25 in FL. As I pointed out, the definitions are rather broad and most statistics simply reflect whatever bias the source is attempting to push at the time. I was just pointing out that there are far more than a single case and I am not really confident that any state actually handles these cases well in a consistent manner. Not really supporting you or early here, just pointing out that bad cases happen all the time.

Nope. It is just what is reported on the news every night. Especially on talk radio where you get all your opinions and such that you prattle on about here. You should check it out. First time sex offenders get at most 1 year in prison if they go at all.

You should stick to handing out BDSM advice.

Contrary to what you might think, in la la land, most Americans would prefer to have child molesters shot like rabid animals.

 

[tigerbob]

Fair point. If there's an expert on la la land it would be Katz.

I'm quite aware of the high regard liberals have for child molesters.

That's right, anyone who thinks you're an idiot must be a liberal.

You're not aware of shit because you don't read what people say, you just blurt out "Liberal' whenever someone thinks you're a fuckwit.

I would pretty much certainly had done what the father did. AND I think you're a waste of space.

Confusing isn't it?

I've gotta call bullshit.

A guy is driving at night, he drank one too many cups of coffee and is about to burst, so he pulls off to take a leak. Unzips, whips it out, and BAM, a cop drives by.

Guess what? He's a "sex offender." Yep, he'll "only" get a year in prison, then have the scarlet letter for the rest of his life.

A CHILD MOLESTER isn't getting out after a year.

{GATESVILLE (March 25, 2010)—A 52nd State District Court jury Thursday morning sentenced James Pat Wheat, 60, to serve 75 years in prison just a hour after he was convicted of molesting a 4-year-old child his wife was babysitting.}

Convicted Central Texas Child Molester Gets 75 Years

Yes, it was his first conviction.
