Re: Vigilant or Bloody Minded

What's the point? The fact that crimes are comitted does not justify comitting other "crimes" to catch the criminal. And if it's not the criminal who's caught, but an innocent person, what was accomplished? Tom C. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net To: pentax-discu

Re: Vigilant or Bloody Minded

I feel the same way. Did you hear about the case in Vermont where the judge gave an offender who had been raping a 6 year old girl for 4 years only 60 days in jail? The judge said that because vermont did not have a way of rehabilitating the offender, that it was not worth keeping him in jail

Re: Vigilant or Bloody Minded

Castration, chemical or otherwise, does not guarantee any type of prevention. But the tremendous reduction in testosterone is believed to help the offender control the impulses greatly. Tom C wrote: When you get right down to it... does any kind of castration guarantee that the offender won'

RE: Vigilant or Bloody Minded

People who are wrongly accused of crimes are also victims. Having sympathy for them in no way lessens the sympathy we feel for the principal victims of the crime, or suggests in any way that we tolerate paedophilia or sexual abuse. We want the right people to be tried and convicted. When that happe
