From the Critter's POV Well, since I'm a felon, I guess I can shout out to this, at least from a Minnesotan POV. Here's what I've been told by the Powers That Be (AKA the people who will toss my butt in the can if I screw up) and what I've read. I know that MN, like Texas, used to have a...

Phenom, you asked why not restrict other things that can be used as weapons. Maybe some members who have worked in correctional facilities could give you the list of commonly banned items for the very reason that they can be used as weapons. With a little martial arts training, or just a...

Courts make the laws anyway... Sad to say, Phantom Warrior, These days, particularly in MN, the courts make the laws it seems. Think about my Keepers and how the same rule is interpreted five different ways from Sunday depending on who you ask? You asked what you could get legally drug...

wow... :what: :D That was hillarious. As for seeing his legs, I think any kid with enough pride to do that would be also wearing the high socks, so really not much if any leg would have been showing at all.

Missing the point as always. Here in the People's Republic of MN the papers are attacking the Governor for not passing tougher sex offender laws earlier. Thing is, this guy could have registered a dozen ways from sunday and that wouldn't have stopped him from driving into another state with no...

Exactly! +1 Armoredman. As far as not being violent, I'm not sure going into the details would be beneficial to this thread. With 3 sex offenders in my extended family, I've done a snotload of homework on this. And I'll leave it with the statement that physically overpowering with a...

A good choice... My sister refused to put her little Yorkie down long after the poor thing couldn't even walk. So my mom and I got together and made a discreet call to an understanding vet. He came out to our farm. I held Punkie (his name) in my hand, told him it'd be ok, and held him and...

sheeple I have to attribute part of this to Sheeple thinking. Two women were followed by this guy, and did nothing, called no one, and just left. Guess they were counting on someone else to be responsible and report suspicious activity. Guess they were wrong. Wish the price wasn't...

oh brother. As far as I understand (and w/ 3 sex offenders in my extended family I have reason to do some digging), violence is a rarity in pedophelia cases, though power and control issues abound. As far as needing a CCW because of pedophiles? The best way I can answer that is a story my...

From the horse's mouth. Well, sorry to still be sucking oxygen, what after turning myself in for a felony that no one even knew was committed. :fire: I like Chuck Swindoll's quote "Why is it that the more conservative someone is, the less compassionate they become?" Every time I start to...

Death By Frisbee!!!! I'm going to take a long, somber moment to consider the depth of thought that all y'all have put into considering the feasability of this weapon. (I for one, would never have thought of the gyroscope deal). That moment being over, I'm going to spend the rest of my day...

From the Kent State ER... I don't know how much I believe the reports on that one. My mom and her best friend were ER nurses in the area at the time. The overflow reached the hospital they were working at. So, someone who had inside scoop information on the wounded tells me that the cops...

oooh brother. So this guy's going to play spiderman in order to avoid the cops for shoplifting 60 bucks in idiotic groceries... But he ADMITS to smoking meth. Great. Prove that meth rots your brain.

shooting at the wrong target... sigh... I can understand the idea of wanting to die rather than live in jail forever. But if they really felt that way... They had weapons. They had ammunition in the weapons. They could have saved themselves a lot of time if they were going to make that...

brother... D Mack... So you've never seen this guy, and never seen anyone hanging around his house. What's suspicious? Is the house leaning towards you at an evil angle or something? Seriously... If there are people around, it's creepy. If there are no people around, then it's...

exactly! Standing Wolf... I agree 100%. If someone commits a new sex crime after they've had their shot.. well... you just proved that society can't trust you.

dehumanization and violence. From what I understand of the treatment process, it has nothing to do with punishment. That is what the sentences are for. The disclosure and empathy documents she is talking about are about the dehumanization required for violence et cetera. Anyone familiar...

let's try and take these one at a time... Thank you guys for your honest feedback. I'll try and do everyone's posts some justice. I'm not trying to offend people. But, again, w/ friends and family members guilty of these crimes, I've had a lot of time to think things through...

Brains?! Zed... did you just use the words 'politician' and 'brains' in the same sentence? hehe.

*shakes head* Of course these people aren't going to give up. Their opinions are based on nothing even remotely resembling reality in the first place. :banghead: Unfortunately, that means that very little in reality would be able to change their minds!
