Congress may be passing a hate crimes bill that gives protection for pedophiles.
I suspect this is because since the age of the internet, pedophilia has finally reared its ugly head up front and in public. Previously, little girls and boys were considered to be fantasizing, imagining, or outright lying about the adults who were messing with them. Getting a conviction was nearly impossible because the word of a little girl or boy was just not good enough.
Now that we can see the videos, the child pornography, etc. flashing around the internet like an epidemic...and newsmagazines such as dateline are catching these perverts in action on film in record numbers (catching them is the record numbers, not the act...it's been going on since the beginning of time).
Anyway, the knee jerk reaction has been fathers or mothers or other significant others being so outraged by learning that their own child was put through such a horrible ordeal...they are going out and killing/maiming pedophiles in equally record numbers.
We can't have this.
There is a justice system in place, and vigilance service is not the answer for a civilized society. Even serial killers, even the worst of the worst of us, deserve equality under the law, or we are doomed.
I am not a violent person. However, if I learned that anyone messed with my son or my granddaughter, my first reaction would be to kill or harm that person. It is a normal feeling of protection we parents have. So there must be a law to protect the pedophiles, I am afraid.
And, the law will protect the family members of the abused, as well. People need to think twice before taking the law into their own hands.
Do you agree with this law being passed?
