A young man from Cape Breton commited suicide in Boston after local police attempted to arrest him for the murders of two sexual deviants in Maine. He learned of their locations from the Maine State website that listed all the sexual predators living in the State. Since the incident,Maine has taken down the website amid worries of lawsuits from other deviants who feel threatened and exposed now to the general public. Now, these folks have some small idea of what their victims have gone through by their actions & I hope this has some effect on them.
Now, I don't know that this is true, but the family of the younger man killed claimed the offense that put him on the registry was simply getting caught having sex with his underage girlfriend.
If true, hardly a capitol offense.
This is the problem with public sex offender registries. You could, a very short time ago at least, be judged a sex offender for getting a blow job or having anal sex with your wife, for God's sake.
This is also the problem with vigilantism. I know there are monsters out there, and I don't care how the are punished, nor do I care who delivers the punishment, BUT one must be sure they are punishing the monster.
