What words would you use to describe a man like this?

[MARIS61]

Is it really? It just takes somebody a split second to see an adult male hovering over a crying kid who isn't his before the cops get called, a report gets written up, and you're spending the night in jail. And even if you're exonerated, you'll still have that stigma around you from everyone in the neighborhood.

If you are a 30 year old man and you are trying to help a seven year old kid you don't know crying alone on a sidewalk, you are probably in much greater danger than he is. If you don't realize that, you should.

In many states that have "Good Samaritan" laws, by ignoring the child you could be arrested for not aiding. By not helping him you increase the chance a perv will come to his aid.

At any rate I trust most people aren't quite as paranoid as you are about it, just careful. I coached youth baseball teams (sometimes coed) for many years and made it a practice to never be alone when giving the kids rides home.

So a child gets sexually abuse by his father for 20 years and then turns around and sexually abuses another child . . . kill him?

Maybe not on the first offense. This isn't Ramos' first offense. Second offense with kids? That's a no-brainer.

I can't be honest about what words I would describe that man with. I really can't.


The first word would be dead. There are two more I can't say, you probably get the idea.


I just thank my lucky stars that I wasn't there to catch him doing that. I would have probably been a hero is prison, I hear they don't like molesters.

Monster is the word for me.

Also, if that was my kid (which it wouldn't be, because I don't let my kids roam around stores without me, but if he snatched my kid), I would beat the guy with such rage that he would wish he was dead. Seriously, somebody would have to pull me off of him, and I'd still try to find ways to harm him once he was in custody.

I wonder how the cops would handle that situation... if you beat the guy to death, would they try to convict you?

It would be up to a jury. If a jury convicted me after I witnessed such depravity on my child, then that is a society that I wouldn't want to be a part of, anyway.

plea down to manslaughter, 5 years in pound me in the ass prison.

You'd do that if someone cross you on teh interwebs though.

Huh?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I was being facetious.

I'll make a bet: He never serves a day in prison. His lawyer will argue for insanity and use the idea of raping a two year old (as well as his schizophrenia) as proof. He spends 10-30 years in a mental institution.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

likely scenario.

Not a likely scenario:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insanity_defense#Usage_and_success_rate

Media coverage in the United States tends to dictate how situations are perceived by the public. A case using the insanity defense usually receives a lot more media attention because it is considered unusual or dramatic. This increased coverage gives the impression that the defense is widely used but this is not the case. According to an eight-state study the insanity defense is used in less than 1% of all court cases and, when used, has only a 26% success rate. Of those cases that were successful, 90% of the defendants had been previously diagnosed with mental illness. [12] The cases of Lee Boyd Malvo and Andrea Yates are examples of high-profile use of the insanity defense; both are characterized by their dramatic circumstances.

Ricky Ray Rector (January 12, 1950 – January 24, 1992) was executed for the 1981 murder of police officer Robert Martin in Conway, Arkansas.

After killing a man in a nightclub, he would later first agreed to turn himself in, but instead shot the police officer who negotiated his surrender in the back. He then shot himself in the head in an apparent suicide attempt. The attempt left him brain damaged.

Despite being unable to understand the charges against him or the resulting death sentence, then Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton made a point of overseeing Rector's execution during the 1992 U.S. Presidential campaign to show the electorate that the Democratic Party was not soft on crime.[1]

A reason to like Clinton!
