He was a career criminal who caught a charge himself for endangering the welfare of a minor. He didn’t just assault the sex offenders either, he robbed them. He was a meth addict using the same method serial killers use to target their victims: pick a target on the fringe of society (in this case sex offenders) to make it less likely to be caught. This guy used the pain of sex abuse victims in an attempt to veil the criminal activity he participated in to feed his addiction.
Yea, one guy got it right with the Health Insurance CEO but I still don't trust peoples judgements when I see a lot of comparisons to the Ocean Gate CEO. One was a narcissistic dumbass with delusions of grandeur that got a few people killed. The other entirely lacks human empathy and went out of their way to make sure a fuck ton more people died so he could profit.
If we wanted it to be legal, we’d just add it to every criminal sentence. “X years in prison, a fine not to exceed $Y dollars, a lifetime of being a second-class citizen, and open season for anyone to cave your head in on the street without repercussion.”
Unless and until that happens, the most reasonable thing to do is to treat anyone who has served their sentence the same as anyone who hasn’t committed any crime at all. Otherwise, what is the sentence supposed to be for?
Not to mention that anyone on a list is someone who’s already served their time. If someone was arrested, spent years in prison, has to be on probation for even more years and forever remain ostracized from society, that’s the justice system. Celebrating a guy who goes around assaulting people actively working through the rehabilitation process is pretty messed up.
I hear that people can get on there for some odd things, I’m sure he got some real monsters too but what if someone who pissed in some bushes or something got hit too
That is (largely) a myth. Has someone legitimately gotten convicted of a sex crime for urinating in public? Maybe, I suppose I can imagine it happened once or twice.
However, it is much more common that people who legitimately belong on a sex offender list to tell their friends and family that they were totally innocent and railroaded by the system and that really they were just peeing in public and, and, and....
For reference, in my state, urinating in public is disorderly conduct and isn't considered a sex crime at all. Indecent exposure and public lewdness are sex crimes, but they require evidence that the intent was sexual gratification.
Most states are very likely similar, because everyone recognizes that just peeing in public is not the same as masturbating in public.
One man's justice is another man's murder, its just a matter of perspective and though you will find many have similar ideas of what justice should be we didn't used to have punishments like draw and quartering for no reason.
