[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They don't lock them up.

When someone gets a life sentence over there, they go to prison for a few years, and then when family or people on the outside stop contact with them, they quietly get "disappeared" and are never seen again.

Well...I really don't find a problem if this guy finds redemption in prison, but there's zero need for him to be out wandering again. I'm sorry that we don't have better preventive mental health care in this country and we should work as a society on that, but I truly don't believe in 'rehab' once you've raped/murdered. There's something about sex crimes that seems immune to therapy and treatment. It's just a bad urge and better to keep separate from society.

Crimes escalate - that 'harmless' peeper or 'harmless' exhibitionist stops feeling a thrill and moves on to more aggressive behavior. Sex crimes are about power - usually that's due to a sociopathic or narcissistic personality disorder. Those are notoriously difficult to treat.[/quote]

Yes. It's happened 3 times in my life ( as  a child, and once TOTALLY unexpectedly as an adult in the old Barnes and Nobles in Georgetown) that I've been "flashed". Thankfully not raped, assaulted or anything further. I've seen many dicks as a consenting adult but it's so bizarre and so about power to see a stranger dick out of context, not consenting. The first two times (as a child) I froze, though the second time I told mom and ended up at the police station looking at mug shots as a 10 yr old and AGONIZING that I would finger the wrong person. The 3rd time, as a grown woman combing the mystery stacks in B & N and sitting down to read the back of a book and looking up to see a nasty dick being stroked 5 feet away, I got up, moved to safety and told my husband and a clerk. Then THEY BOTH froze. FUCK! They stared as dickface rode the elevator down and out of the store. Sex crmes are so weird. My spouse is a trained combat veteran. I myself always swore I would act! It is so freaking hard to catch these people because it is always so freaking unexpected and bizarre. We were Xmas shopping. So one rapes and kills and is caught with the proverbial blood on their hands. I am a Christian, but bye bye. There were so many stops along the way when they could have been helped/ could have demanded help. At this point, Bible study by yourself and find redemption. But on your own. Not with the rest of us.[/quote]
