He says one idea in the senate is a "two strikes" proposal that would mandate a life term for anyone convicted a second time for sexual abuse of a child.

A no-brainer. It took this long for them to figure that one out? Of course some caveats and limitations should be included. I can't advocate a life sentence for somebody who caught an indecent exposure charge 25 years ago and now has a charge for having an anime cartoon on his computer, for example.
"Predatory" sex offenders. As defined in the Wetterling Act.

The annual sex offenssders list in the papers is just another persecution.
They'll have this hanging over them all year,and it may drive them to suicide or breakdown,or to unregistered flight,along with the well over 100 thousand already fugitive sexual offenders.
And this will apply to "Romeo and Juliets",whose offence may only have consisted of a consensual underage touching game at a party.
It's appalling(some must have known it is wrong)that not one of 100 senators had the courage and integrity to oppose this.

Ah victorialondon; don’t you see that is exactly what they want. There are too many offenders lawfully registered now. And it is so hard to lock up guys obeying the law (even though you really want to do so). So create more laws, no one will fault for protecting society from monsters.

As one of our local district attorneys put it “If a sex offender kills himself then we know we are safe.” It is a competition among the states to see how they can best rid their borders. Pennsylvania lost a lot of offenders who had moved here because we did not have a published registry. Then in January it came on line and the guys looked for a better home. So each state must now look and prevent that state from becoming the new relocation state for offenders.

Society believes that offenders can not be rehabilitated and society is scared. Scared people do not necessarily think rationally. I remember when a teen was on my block in prison. He got gang-raped in the showers and eventually killed himself. When they interviewed people on the street the response was “Well, he should have thought about that before he committed his crime.” His crime was drunk driving and fleeing to avoid arrest. Yep, that definitely deserved the old “train in the rain.”

I will continue to live legal. There are consequences to choices. I may not be allowed to choose the consequences, but I am allowed the choice of choosing. I am active in campaigning for tougher sentences for sex offenders. I do believe that many offenses should be dealt with via life sentences. I am also of a mind to support the death sentence for certain offenses as well.

My gripe is when they granfathered the laws into play. The laws were not on the books when the crime was committed but they were enforced on the offender after-the-fact. Pennsylvania got around it by putting Megan’s Law under Administrative Code so that it doesn’t appear to be a punishment. What I find really funny is that the penalty for failing to register is often more severe than the original crime.

Dear newmind6,
Of course that's what they want.
They seek the deaths of sex offenders by suicide.
But more will be driven to flight,already there is an army of lots more than 100 thousand,fugitive sex offenders(I explain else where how I get this figure),some desperate .vagrant and iitnerant.
How many of them have turned up in this country(more than 6 million Americans passed thru British customs in the last 3 months,you can walk in uninvigilated from Ireland.)or may do so in the future?You are not only hurting yourselves,but us.
