As long as there's not a gun store wwithin 5 miles

Sometimes one must wonder just who's minding the henhouse.

Oh geez! What the hell are those people thinking???? If, by some small chance, the treatment center is allowed to set up shop there, then the day care owner needs to sue because you know parents will be pulling their kids out right away!

Re: As long as there's not a gun store wwithin 5 miles

As opposed as I am to rapists, you must realize that if they are not executed or imprisoned for life, that they have to live somewhere when they get out?

I am for the death penalty for many severe sexual offenses (though some sexual offenses are merely a couple copulating in a car in a secluded area), but that is deemed too harsh by our soft society. Fine. Just don't whine like a little girl when the inevitable fact that they have to live somewhere after they have served their sentences, comes to the surface.

Yeah, I think I need to reexamine my position if I find myself agreeing with Meritocrat.

I agree, they have to live somewhere but to put up a place for them right next to a day care is dumb and I believe it will have an adverse effect on the business. I know I wouldn't want to send my grandkids there!

Gotta agree with you entirely, and like you, I'd like to see more liberal application of the death penalty for certain offenses.

Re: As long as there's not a gun store wwithin 5 miles

Rapists, pedophiles, and child pornographers should be locked up forever, if not executed.

That they "have to live somewhere" when they're released from prison shouldn't even be a discussion...

True, but unless the laws are changed, we're stuck with them walking around in society.

No shit! I've no use for the scumbags and to think that someone like Ralph Stogner is living his life out in prison after what he did to my step-daughter's cousin just galls me. I could easily and with no regrets, pull the trigger on that POS.

that would be my preference too - unfortunately, the same pussies who try to make you feel like a criminal for owning a gun are the same sacks of shit who think rapists, pedophiles and kiddy porn perverts can be rehabilitated.

Personally, i think the only way to "rehabilitate" them is with the application of 230 grains of lead to the base of the skull...
