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

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
