It's for the children. It's OK.

I'm normally for rule of law, but I'm having a hard time having a problem with this one.

It wouldn't be vigilante justice with due process.

On another forum, in a thread about the Houston dad who shot and killed her daughter's boyfriend in the house at 2 am, a couple of guys kept referring to the kid as 'the rapist' because he was 17 which is legal age in Texas and the girl was 16. The new Romeo and Juliet laws only keep the adult partner's name off the sex offenders registry, this if the partners are within 4 years of each other in age and the younger above 15, they do not make prosecution for statutory rape off limits. I only know this from researching it for that thread.

Whatever the kid did, I was put off by referring to him as a 'rapist,' so I found these details of two different cases of vigilante would-be justice for sex offenders I had heard about, similar only in the presumption of the right to take punishment into one's hands:

The Folly of America's sex registry laws

The killer was Stephen Marshall, a 20 year old Canadian who traveled to Maine to kill Elliot and who then shot himself when police stopped the bus on which he was riding.

Here's another guy who killed two sex offenders, one actually pretty vile and the other a 28 year old father of two who, like Elliot, wouldn't have been on the sex offender registry if Romeo and Juliet laws had been on the books when he was convicted.

Patrick Drum Who Killed Two Sex Offenders Gets Life Sentence - ABC News

This smirking twit, Patrick Drum, had recently become Blanton's room-mate, and had reportedly known him for 10 years. Not sure if Blanton and the wife were separated, the wife spoke at Drum's sentencing, in the video on the link just above, and sounder devoted to her slain husband. Like Marshall, Drum also had numerous supporters, some of whom were harassing Blanton's widow and children, according to her. Drum was sentenced to life w/o parole for his crimes.

Blanton's crime that landed him on the registry?

The issue with sex offender registries is that really bad people get lumped into the same category with people convicted of statutorily raping people who were very nearly their own age and sometimes nothing more than public urination. I don't know about other states, but in Nevada when you look up the sex offenders in your neighborhood (we have a few in mine) you can also look up what they were convicted of and when.

How come there's no convicted murderer registry? Murderers often get released.
How come there's no convicted took financial advantage of old people registry?
How come there's no spouse-abuser registry?
How come there's no "wears sleeveless denim shirts and has too few teeth and too many tatoos" registry?

I don't know about the first three, but that last one doesn't need a registry since they are readily apparent as soon as you see them.

I'd go along with the first three, don't care about the last.

Father of Kidnapped Son gets Revenge - YouTube

Is that real? For sure the videographer doesn't understand what parallel is

It's real. Do a search. I was living in Mississippi at the time and it was huge news.

Had I been a juror I would have exercised my right of conscience on that one.

I'd have voted Dad a medal.

Back a long time ago there was a new story about a deer hunter at a rest stop watching a Texas trooper pull over a car and the driver shot the trooper. The deer hunter got his long gun out and killed the driver. Texas Rangers gave the hunter a custom engraved .45 pistol. Justice.

So you decide when laws apply and when not?
