I know I am probably going to get reamed for saying this, but here goes...

I think the whole new sex offender law needs to be overturned. If the legislature feels that sex offenders still pose a threat when they are let out of prison, then they need to make the sentences longer or provide some sort of counseling to assure reabilitation. Its only going to take for one sex offender to say enough is enough and snap and really hurt someone.

What is really sad that in the great police state of GA, it doesn't take much to become a sex offender. You ever have to pee really bad while driving and stop on the side of the road to take a leak? Guess what, if someone sees you and reports you to the police, bam you get charge with sex offender law. What about if a kid, possibly your kid, is acting out and an adult uses corporal punishment to discipline the behavior. Guess what is you slap the child on the bottom you could get hit with a sex offender charge. I am not making this stuff up either. These situations I described happen to otherwise decent law abiding folk.

This kind of gestapo crap needs to stop. It is going to come to a point to where it is a sex offense to even look at someone. This is bad law and it is no different than "Malum Prohibitium" laws that are felonies and otherwise law-abiding folk loose their rights altogether... :rant:

The "Sex Offender Registry" is too broad and the offenses needs to be narrowed down only to the most violent of sex offenses such as rape, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, child molestation and aggravated child molestation, enticing a child for indecent purposes, and statutory rape - I think the age limits for this one need serious overhaul too. Did I miss one?

Also I believe in capitol punishment, but I think it only should only be used as an "eye for an eye" type case. For example if a person committs murder or voluntary manslaughter while participating in the crimes above, then the death sentence should be put on the table as an option. I think rape does have a provision in the statute to where a person can be put to death.

Lastly I feel that the sentences for offenses of child molestation should be as follows; child molestation 1st offense mandatory 20 years, no parole. register as a violent sex offender. 2nd offense mandatory life in prison. Aggravated child molestation (where a child is physically hurt or an act of sodomy is performed) 1st offense mandatory life in prison.

I can tell ya as an ex-deputy sheriff working in the jail, general pop is no fun for a child molester. His fellow inmates will take plenty of opprotunities to subject him/her to the same type of treatment he gave to his victim and then some. Some child molesters, after a few encounter with the reciprocating inmates, learn the errors of their ways and cant stand the preferential treatment from their fellow inmates and try to take their own life or end up in a fight and beaten to a bloody mess.

Well gunsmoker I do see your point and yes I do feel that the child molestation statute is too broad as well. Obviously just patting a child on the bottom or relieveing yourself infront of a child shouldn't automatically net a child molestation charge. What I am trying to say is that a child molestation charge however severe shouldn't have the death penalty attached unless murder or voluntary manslaughter resulted in from their actions aganist the child.

If it was my child - I would kill the offender myself.

And I would probably most likely do the same thing if someone raped my wife. He/she/they just better hope that the authorities get to them before I do. :shoot:
