Another Pedophile Let Out of Prison

and then kills an 11 year old boy.

wfsb.com - Local News - Boy Found Slain On Golf Course; Pedophile Charged

Three strikes would have prevented this. Longer sentences would have prevented this.

States are finally coming around to crack down on pedophiles and protect children. Too late for this little boy.

Re Another Pedophile Let Out of Prison

Alien intervention would have prevented it too.

Three strikes is A Bad Idea for many reasons. But we've had that debate before so there's probably no point in rehashing it all.

And sure, longer sentences solve some problems. But they create other problems.

Re Another Pedophile Let Out of Prison

"I'm blaming myself right now," Irvin's mother, Shanda Harris, told WBAL-TV. "By trusting Melvin, now my son is gone."

I hate to have to agree with her, but she is right.

She KNEW he was a convicted pedophile.

She KNEW it.

She either has no instincts or denied them.
