Read about the lives of Hastert, Foley, and Weiner for what’s in the closet of those former Congressman who pushed for these laws.

Exactly, John. This hypocritical Puritanical society tries to scare people about Sharia Law while their total intolerance of and any empathy or forgiveness for anyone who has committed a sex offense makes their laws exactly on par with Sharia Law.

I often wonder what is in the closet of the people who push for these severe life-long sentences for any sex offense … especially against someone who did something as a juvenile, has paid for his act, and has since been a model citizen.

Luke Heimlich deserves a chance just like any other juvenile adjudicated for a delinquent act.

I hope the Oregonian goes bankrupt!

Hate talk radio fans these flames too, Joe. Ever listen to Rush Limbaugh? Do it before you eat lunch or you will lose it!

DA throws him under the bus…

15 year old in prison? Whatever Oregon

Several news articles about the baseball draft and this young man. He was projected as a top 50 pick but most team say they will not pick him because of his status as a registrant. Bunch of hypocrites they sign guys with criminal records all the time. Sports illustrated article online states that they hope no team picks him because he needs to be punished. I do not excuse his crime at all but he should have the right to pursue his dreams.

Hey Jim, go read “god’s word” again. I think you missed something. A LOT of somethings.
It’s the most IMMORAL book on the planet along side all the other religious books.

It does NOT take a religious belief to have morals. And if you think it does….wow! Just wow!

“Nothing negative has ever happened with Luke since he completed his terms as sentenced…”

Right there! That statement right there makes me ask you what “campus safety aspect” was even necessary?

“This young girl my suffer issues for years because of it”….

Well, for one, she’s not that young anymore and since we don’t know the exact actions which were deemed sexually inappropriate enough to be charged for, I don’t think anyone should jump on there “Look at me! I’m all for those poor victims” bandwagon just to be politically correct to a society that is full of shit as it is.

Hypocritically speaking; if he tapped her on the buttocks, is she forever going to be mentally scarred for being tapped on her butt?

CUT IT OUT!

Joe, the great sadness of your post is that it is true. In the midst of these difficult days we must remain steadfastly hopeful. One of the benefits of this forum is the opportunity it gives us to encourage one another. Certainly not many in this land give us any thought, at least in a positive way. We simply must determine not to succumb to the “meanness,” but hold our heads up and extend grace to all.
