Regardless of the statistics I feel it is more than just 'awareness', what is nerve wracking is to check on how many 'registered' pedophiles are living closer than you would like. People think we are odd because the doors are locked at all times, except for when we step outside. The reason is that beating up on older people has become the latest pastime here. They just put a guy in for life with no chance of parole for attacking four widows.

I can easily believe that young people are also targetted. A young man and his girlfriend were hijacked, the locked him in the trunk while assulting his girlfriend. One slight consolation is that these perps will find out just what rape means when they toss them in jail.

Well, we still don't lock our doors except when we're on vacation. But No.1 dog (miniature American Eskimo) will wake the dead if anything out of the ordinary happens.

About 20 yrs ago my wife and myself went fishing in a local creek, waded quite a ways up it before we returned. When we got back to the road, we discovered a gang of maybe 15 rough looking toughs were having a beer party, had our way blocked, and my old van blocked in also. They didn't look very friendly whenever they 1st saw us.

But it happened that both of us were carrying revolvers in shoulder rigs. Once we got close enough for them to see that we were armed, they made complete asses of themselves moving their vehicles for us, almost kissing our asses trying to be polite. I'm sure had we not been armed they would have not been nearly so accommodating. And my wife agrees with me.

Amazing how something as mundane as a hog leg in a shoulder holster tends to make people more agreeable.

Anytime I start to rethink my stance on the death penalty a story like this comes along.

Hang this fucker by his balls over a tank full of sharks and then shoot his balls off !

Exactly, there is a time and place for the death penalty, it's just hard to draw a line.

As I said this is a no brainer for a torturous prolonged public death

And use someone with bad aim, so it takes longer.

Allow me to interject a bit of reason into this thread.

The people who did this are monsters. The color of their skin is of no consequence.

Once you're sure you have the right ones, put 'em on their knees, and put a slug in the back of their heads.

Just be done with them.

Actually compared to any number of message boards this one is quite civil, read some of the newspaper blogs and you might believe that it is time to end the human race.

Those newspaper blogs are something else indeed.
