The intruder fondled the girl in her bed, but he didn't count on a brave 74-year-old babysitter who bit his arm and fought to get him as far away from the child as possible, said Capt. John Darby, with the Special Victims Unit.Now there's a hero of the ordinary kind. A citizen, if you will, as opposed to a subject. And that brings me to a related point, and I'll be crass and put it in economic terms.
Chelsea King, 17, was murdered, presumably by a convicted sex offender who was, surprise surprise, not following the rules. The Media are waving their hands about what we're to do about this flagrant abuse of the system.
It seems to me the first failure point is the seriousness society assigns to sexual offenses, and the second failure point is the aftermath of the first conviction.
We, as members of society, need to make sexual offenses a capital offense. Then the punishment needs to be death ....... via 230 grain cranial injection.
That'll be much, much cheaper than the incarceration option, and makes recidivism unlikely.
