I deserve something...

Most sincere words ever spoken by a child predator-
"I know that I deserve something for that, but I don't think I deserve what I got," he said."
Odd that while I was reading the quote, I found myself agreeing. After all- this comes straight from the mouth of 72 year old Leroy Schad. He was allowed to plead guilty in March of last year to aggravated indecent solicitation of a child. He'd actually been charged with four counts of taking indecent liberties stemming from assaults on a 9-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy.
District Judge Ron Svaty sentenced him to five years of probation and put him under house arrest. Not nearly enough of a punishment when he could have gotten about three years behind bars- which still isn't enough. But the judge decided after tossing out the idea of the three years that Schad should have something more, and ordered him to post signs reading "A Sex Offender Lives Here" around his house and put a nice decal with yellow lettering reading "Sex Offender In This Car" on his car.

Shcad, being the narrow minded 'this is so not fair' type of perv he is, doesn't like the signs and is appealing them. Personally- I think fellow residents of the small town he lives in, and his victims should be able to appeal the fact that the child molester isn't in jail... but no one would ever let that happen.

So, he has signs around him... and he's sad about it. Well, I'm betting the parents of the children he assaulted are even more bothered by his actions than he is about the signs. Like he said- he deserved something, but not this. Only he forgot the important ending to that sentence--- he deserved much worse.

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...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

Jamie Rose Bolin

Jamie Bolin was last seen alive on Wednesday, while at the local library... and although she was reported missing when she failed to return home, no Amber Alert was issued until Thursday night. I understand the need to maintain certain criteria should be met when issuing an Amber Alert... I realise the importance of attempting to ensure that the public doesn't become conditioned to the alerts and slowly begin to ignore them... and yet, something in me is completely bothered that a 10 year old can go missing without people being informed of it. The police believe, according to a statement released that even if an Amber Alert had been released- we'd still be faced with the same horrible end to this story... but how can they know that? What is the possibility that someone may have seen even the smallest piece of evidence and called LE? Can we really accept that there was nothing that could have saved this child? Now, I don't mean to criticize anyone, I really don't. I ju...
