I agree that TV has simply stripped it to nothing more than the entertainment of watching someone else be caught doing something. I suppose on some level it’s to make us feel better about ourselves.

Under this “equivocality” approach, if a person’s conduct could indicate either a non-criminal intent OR a criminal one… the evidence is not sufficient. But, if the conduct could indicate unequivocally manifest criminal intent, it suffices even though completion of the plan does not succeed.

I forgot to mention that it is generally considered to be a philisophical and psychological truth that “the thought precedes the thing”. Without precognition and minimal planning, very little takes place other than bodily functions, usually the autonomic ones.

Our society has a lot of people who are out for whatever they can grasp. I would like to ask you to take a look at a post I wrote about the recent governmental federal employee credit card scandal. Should the rest of the perps be charged? Should the government take-away the credit cards, even though the cards were NOTabused by LESS THAN HALF the card holders? I’d appreciate your opinion.

Brennan Kingsland’s last blog post..I Wanna Work for the Government

Having considered your question carefully, I will attempt to give a calm and rational answer. No, the host is incorrect. Yes, the man should be arrested and CASTRATED, if not physically, than permanently, pharmacologically. Pedophiles do not get CURED and deterrents DO NOT WORK. In fact, the more they indulge their fantasies, usually only younger and younger ages attract them.

I have worked with the survivors of assaults as young as 4 years old, though the perp “started out” with 14 years old girls. Just recently, I interviewed a man who had degenerated to molesting babies, and had the pictures to prove it! DISGUSTING!

He spent some time in jail, was released after time served, is now a Registered sex offender but has skipped the state to who knows where. The system lost track of him. Where ever he went to, I hope there are no baby girls or toddlers there. Sadly, that is highly unlikely.

This man expressed no guilt or remorse for his actions. Society is in the wrong in his opinion. Well, I think society is wrong too, but for different reasons.. He should never have been allowed to go free without AT LEAST a lobotomy.

There are widespread groups of pedophiles preying on children around the globe. This disgusting practice is centuries old, but now victims are as near as your local computer. And pedophile groups are in touch with their counterparts around the globe. Finally, you should know that pedophiles as a group are adament that there is nothing wrong or abnormal with their behavior.

The man you referred to in your post may not have actually placed his hands, or anything else, on a REAL 14 year old girl. But you can bet your “Boopy” that he woulda’ if he coulda’.
