There has been vigilantism towards sex offenders. Some of it is subtle, while others are visible such as this. The press does report some of the more egarious forms of vigilantism. I think that this guy should be required to register as a sex offender if he ever gets out.

We are going to see more cases of vigilantism as more and more sex offenders get added to the registry. People are going to be so angry that sex offenders are living near them, that they are going to take the law into their own hands.

Man allegedly tried to kill sex offender

Sometime during the last few weeks I mentioned that documented cases of vigilantes trying to injure or kill convicted sex offenders were few and far between.  I said that because I don't recall seeing more than a few cases over the last 5 years.

It appears a New Hampshire man stabbed a sex offender who appeared on New Hampshire's state sex offender registry and had a list of other registered offenders in his apartment, some with check marks next to their names.  According to the Concord Monitor he knew the sex offender from when they attended prison together.

He may also have been responsible for an arson at a home where three registered offenders lived.  According to the Concord Monitor a second potentially related fire (no mention of sex offenders at the address).

The article mentions that the attacker in question is a parolee, paroled a year ago after serving 3 years for receiving stolen property.  It does mention that he was tried and acquitted of the murder of an elderly woman in the 1980s though.

Obviously I don't advocate or condone using the sex offender registries for such purposes so I hope this person (if determined to be guilty) is convicted, kept in prison for a long time and gets treatment and counseling if he'll ever be released.
