When size shouldn't matter...

There are times when size matters. Like when you take your kids to the Amusement park, and it turns out that the ride they've been dying to get on has a height restriction about two inches above where the top of the kid's head is. Or, when a robber runs out the door of a convenience store, and passes one of those nifty little stickers that help discern their height.
Then there are times when I don't care how short or tall you are... you need to be locked up in jail. One of those times happens to be when you sexually abuse a child. Sadly, not everyone sees things that way.
A judge said a 5-foot-1 man convicted of sexually assaulting a child was too small to survive in prison, and gave him 10 years of probation instead.

His crimes deserved a long sentence, District Judge Kristine Cecava said, but she worried that Richard W. Thompson, 50, would be especially imperiled by prison dangers.

Rarely do I cuss here. I do it a lot when I'm reading the stories, even a lot when I am writing them. But I always attempt to not type them. However... I can't find no way to better articulate my thoughts on this than to use one simple word. Forgive me, but: BULLSHIT. Too short to go to jail???

I come in at a nice 5 foot 2, 5'3 if I stand really straight and stretch a bit, and fluff my hair up. An inch shorter isn't much of a big deal. And after you've lived most of your life being on the shorter end of things... you're sort of use to it. It's not a reasonable excuse as to why one shouldn't go to jail. I can't imagine what this WOMAN judge was thinking- and to be honest it's a far fetched claim to even say she was thinking at all.

Thankfully, I'm not alone in my feeling that this is complete bull**** as CUG forwarded this to me, so I'm pretty certain that he feels like I do, Mag's covered it on her site, and Trench has added it to the News of Doom, so we know it's really that bad.

I was just saying on News of Doom that I saw this story earlier today and thought it was a joke. I'm still having difficulty believing it's true!

I do indeed feel as you do.
The judge says he would be imperiled in prison?

What about all the kids she is imperilling by letting this animal go free?

What a moron.

What bullshit.
(Sorry.)

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...

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...
