[bridgemi.com 4/24/18]

It’s been three months since Larry Nassar was sent to spend the rest of his life in prison for criminal sexual conduct, after more than 200 women and girls said he sexually abused them. Now, representatives in Michigan’s state House are considering bills they hope will prevent other predators from following in his footsteps.

There are more than 30 bills total, which range from more rigorous medical practice requirements to extending the statute of limitations on criminal sexual conduct prosecutions and lawsuits. Most have bipartisan sponsorship.

What I don’t get is, why the life sentence behind bars for that Nassar guy? I mean, they’ve said it before that the Registry “protects”
Why not simply have him fill out a Price Club form, snap a photo of him, and just…..yuh know….have him do THAT once a year…? Otherwise…..what’s the point? Just say’n, I mean I’ve never assaulted anyone in my life, I’ve never preyed on another human being but here I’am doing MY part year after year. Something…..seems off.

This is what I want to know since I live in Michigan, and I am currently waiting to be removed from the registry, because of the 6th Circuit’s decision. Why are they screwing with these bills, when they have not even really began to fix the registry that should of been revised months ago,. Nasser is toast, time to move on and fix the registry instead of dragging their feet and putting crap off. These Bills can wait, the revising the registry can’t and shouldn’t have to wait any longer.
