Good Morning to all of you here, and Hello to everyone overseas! A current incident, which took place a few weeks ago, put my priority list of topics upside down, consequently I have decided to talk about Sex- Offenders today, and how they are handled by the American society respectively.
First of all, let me briefly refer to what aired the news just a couple of days ago. Back in December the governor of Arkansas released 360 allegedly light- weight convicts of a State Penitentiary in an act of clemency. Among those lucky ex- jail birds are several sex- offenders whose records were promised to be cleared entirely due to the pardon. What for, I wonder? To inconspicuously re- include them into society? Someone please tell me that this is nothing but a bad joke! Bluntly speaking, sex- offenders must be ex- and secluded from society forever not just temporarily! Just a few weeks back I learnt on the news about a nine- year old girl from Indiana who had gone missing and had later been found dead -beaten to death with a brick by her baby- sitter, a sex- offender! This death was entirely useless and unnecessary! What is even sadder though, society doesn't seem to learn from a tragedy like this.
After all, this sort of fate is unfortunately still shared by way too many innocent kids throughout the US. As a matter of fact, sex- offenders are an ever dangerous species that will premeditate, prey and repeat their crimes once served further opportunities on a silver platter as soon as included back in society. Many times, it seems, people are either too careless or generally just too positive about the nature of this sort of beast. Who in their right mind leaves their off- springs in the temporary care of a male stranger - who might easily turn out to be a sex- offender? On the other hand, we by nature put our trust in the hands of those who run the system, who are supposed to protect us from that kind of bad guys. Often times we are not directly to be blamed for gruesome happenings of that sort because we apparently just don't know any better. It is the authorities' job to clearly mark and monitor those criminals, however, they should no longer be embedded in our communities! How stupid is this?
It is Halloween, and registered sex- offenders are ordered by law to keep their lights turned off and to keep their doors shut and locked as not to endanger the welfare of all those many kids going from door to door to Trick or Treat. This to me is just like dragging meat in front of a hungry pride of lions and not anticipating that they will instinctively grab it! Please, share your opinion with me! I am curious as what you think of this.
