Maryland Sex Offender Bill

The Washington post has a story about some numb nut who is lobbing against stronger sex offender bills in Maryland.
Although Brian Denton doesn't appear to be one of the child raping monsters he defends, he has decided to fight a proposed bill that would ban rapist and child molesters from school grounds, and that would call for tough minimum sentencing.
I read the story a few times- but found it completely lacking on presenting any evidence that this man is anything other than a complete idiot.
"The problem I'm facing is that this is such an emotional issue," Denton said. "I mean, no one's for sex offenders. And I understand the politicians here are trying to protect the public. We just want it done in a sensible way."

I'm not sure what he would define as "sensible", because to me the most sensible thing would be to lock them creeps up for the rest of their natural life.
The team members questioned whether the technology exists to make GPS devices worthwhile, whether the money exists to have every offender receive a psychological evaluation before sentencing, whether it is practical to notify every neighborhood church and school every time an offender moves. And whether it is even possible to keep offenders away from churches and schools.
[...]
But seated before a panel of lawmakers, the seasoned trial lawyer had trouble making his case. When he expressed doubts about the value of requiring polygraph tests, for instance, the lawmakers stared blankly. When he questioned the wisdom of making offenders re-register with every move, they shook their heads.

When someone questions the wisdom of making sex offenders register their addresses when they move- it only goes to show that the comfort of a heinous sexual offender means more than the protection of our children. Yes, we have to notify every school- that's part of how we keep them out of the schools.
I'm glad to see that law makers are not backing down to this repulsive line of lobbing.

Wow - I live in MD (just moved here from VA - the "fry-em" state) and we get the Washington Post - but only on Sunday. I missed this one. Thanks for posting it.

Global positioning devices would be pretty expensive to maintain - but for the voilent offenders - I say "slap 'em on - TIGHT!"

Thanks

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

The Beating Death Of a Child

Michael Porter was arrested Thursday for the death of his two year old stepdaughter. He is accused of striking the little girl in the abdomen earlier in the week causing blunt force trauma and inflicting deadly wounds. The little girl was described as having significant bleeding in her intestines and bruising on her ribs, the front of her chest, side and back. Records indicate that she had bruises in other areas of her body and medical examiners believe she suffered from possible kneeing, punching or squeezing. Kelsey Smith Briggs dies hours before her father was due to return from serving in Iraq. Port has recently filed divorce papers on Rae dawn Porter, the little girls mother. The bond has been set for $1 million, after he plead not guilty in court Friday morning to charges that he killed the toddler, Kelsey Briggs. The judge in the case has issued a gag order for everyone in the case. You may have to register Video, grandparents speak out , grandmother report the abuse without any...
