11. why, then do you think we are on the fence as a culture about this?
does it have something to do with the fact that we have only in the last 20 or so years really begun to address the issue through the victim's perspective...as they say, there really is no taboo in society about sexual abuse, incest, etc, the only taboo is in TALKING ABOUT IT.

this murder is just the most ridiculous assinine thing ever. so senseless. no neighborhoods want these sex offenders any way, and it is just going to get worse.

pit bulls kill a number of children every year, I was watching animal cops Miami tonight and learned that it is illegal to keep pit bulls in all of Dade county. So in essence you can outlaw a heretofore innocent dog in the name of protecting children and others, yet you can't ban previously convicted sex offenders. I am just beyond disgusted with this. We need to shit or get off the pot where these guys are concerned, I think.
