Media news entertainment stations are always on the look out for stories that can be spun indefinetly: child in a well, missing coed in Aruba, MJ, OJ, OK. But when children are raped and murdered by sex offenders 2 days fresh out of jail the stories don't go national. Its over and done with. That is the case close to home.

The death penalty for child rapists* Abuse of the death penalty will never be fully resolved nor will serial rapist murders, but a good start is to send the priests, politicians and working class offenders to death row for their crimes.

Blanket gun control is no control at all. With more control over being able to trace each gun manufactured and sold, stiff laws would enforce respondsible security to keep guns out of the reach of unsupervised children. Most guns are still untraceable although spent ammunition can always be matched if the weapon is in hand.


* not including statutory rape charges between two teens.
