How to remove a threat without attracting the interests of Federal Authorities?

Question

Recently, the state parole board saw fit to release a violent child rapist/murderer and allow this monster to relocate to my community.

This animal now spends his days sitting on his porch staring at children and likely planning an assault on his next victim.

We wish to remove this animal from our community before this can occur and have run out of legal options. Also, we do not wish to curse another community with his presence.

Also, it's clear that local authorities would be glad to see this animal put down and would not be able to solve his murder regardless of how much evidence might be present.

However, the federal government now protects child molesters at the expense of civilized people, and considers it a violation of the molesters "civil rights" to put it down.

Thus, we are concerned that federal authorities might become involved and prosecute a civilized person for protecting their children from this animal.

We were wondering what steps should be taken to allow us to remove this individual while attracting the least interest from federal authorities.

Answer 1

cases like this come up all the time. My suggestion is to document everything, video as well and make regular pilgrimages to his parole or probation officer. Soon he will be moved. If killing him as you say "put down" is your only option then you need to really look at yourself, there has to be a line somewhere. Regardless of the reason, "putting him down" is murder.

I don't like child rapists any more than the next guy but you are in the wrong blog to be asking these questions.

Answer 2

I can understand your concern and your plight, but I agree with the gent above me.

1) The felon has been punished and served his time or is on parole. As such he is entitled to such rights as the law allows him as he is also restricted by those laws (lifetime registration, constraints on location and activities). The same rules that enforced those punishments and restrictions also protect him.

2) Sitting on a porch and watching things is hardly a crime. If it was we would all be spending time in jail. What a person thinks or imagines is also pretty much beyond reach - even Jimmy Carter copped to 'impure thoughts' and he was the president ! What you think he imagines is so far down the line that it doesn't really have any standing.

3) The fact is simply that he is 'there'.. you haven't described any NEW reason for action on the individual. So it seems that, if you intend to follow the same laws that are geared up to protect you as well as him your options are pretty straightforward
a) The ole community shunning. Sounds arechaic but lets face it.. nobody stays for long where they are not wanted. If he can not work, if he has no friends, etc.. then he will move on.
b) Monitoring. Under most parole terms he must stay XXX feet from kids, schools, etc.. keep an eye on him and document it if he violates those terms. If you feel that strongly that he is a threat to your children, you are going to have to invest the time to prove it to others.

c) Find out what the terms of his release are. Make sure he is abiding by them.

Anything else, no matter how much we all would like to see it happen, crosses the line and that does NO ONE any good in the long run.

Sorry to disagree with everyone else.. but thats my 2 cents.

So, basically, you want to punish someone based on what they might do, after they've already been punished for what they did.

While I can sympathize, that's not how our legal system works. You cannot punish someone because they might commit a crime in the future. Even "probably" is not sufficient. Someone can only be punished (once) if they commit a crime, not because they might later commit a crime.

And it's not the government protecting child molesters. It's the government punishing people from taking matters into their own hands by breaking the law.

If you think it is unsafe to be around this person, you are free to move. That seems unfair, but it's your choice. It's also unfair to punish someone for something they have not yet done, just because you think they might do it.

Answer 4

Report him for staring and menacing the children and see if the local authorities can have him mentally examined..maybe he can be "hospitalized" indefinatly for these actions until he is "cured"...which we know is an incurable warped diesase...
Then it is done LEGALLY and there is no one put at risk


Good Luck

Answer 5

have you ever seen fried green tomatoes, if not I suggest you watch it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think all molesters who got young children should be hung in public.. Maybe then all the other sickos will think twice when they see what will happen. But that is not how it is handled in the movie.

Answer 6

Probably the same way another group could plan to "put down" a murderer in their neighborhood!

Answer 7

Child molestors have not been demonized enough.

Frame him.
