Supreme Court was correct to throw out Jessica’s Law (Editorial)

How do you feel about zero tolerance? It’s often a simple way to deal with matters when we don’t want to be bothered, but it can cause all sorts of problems.

Some of our laws are written in much the same way – like Jessica’s Law, the 2006 ballot initiative targeted at sex offenders that passed with 70 percent of the vote. Finally, California officials have done something about it. Full Editorial

“That doesn’t mean we won’t be tough on crime, we’ll just be more effective against it.” ?????

That’s a disturbing statement when one consider’s the fact that most of the idiots in this state can’t tell the difference between peeing on a wall, flashing breasts at a sports event, looking at a picture in a magazine or online, etc, and sex.

But in the larger picture this could be a good thing; perhaps these people will think they can have children if they pee on a wall or look at underwear ads, and eventually we will be rid of them.

In the meantime it would be nice if they spent more time peeing on walls and looking at underwear ads to get their jollies, and thus be too preoccupied to do more harm to the constitution – bill of rights, and the state and country in general. It would also be nice if they learned what a crime actually is. And it’s not peeing on a wall!
