Let sex offenders live near schools??
What else should we expect from a group which fights for the rights of organizations such as NAMBLA? The ACLU is now opposing a law which would make it illegal for Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders who offended against children from living within 2,500 feet of any school, day care, or recreational place. Seems like a reasonable law to most people, but not the ACLU.
According to an article in the Milford Daily News John Reinstein, legal director for the Massachusetts American Civil Liberties Union, said such ordinances violate the civil liberties of sex offenders, who have already paid for their crimes.
He called the ordinances a "scatter-shot response to sex offenders, heading in the wrong direction."
No that is not a misprint, this is a direct quote!! He actually said it violates the civil liberties of sex offenders!! Hey John, what about the rights of the children? What do you suppose John Reinstein would do if a convicted sex offender who targeted children moved in next door to him? Presumably, because he would have already paid his debt to society, Mr. Reinstein would probably invite him over for coffee, or ask him to babysit his children. Right?
Lets not forget we are talking only about people convicted of Level 2 and Level 3 sex crimes against children. Children being the key word in this sentence. Do you think the parents of a 12 year old girl who was violently raped would ever agree that her rapist has paid his debt to society? Do you think Mr. Reinstein would agree to having this same individual living across the street from the school that his own 12 year old daughter attends?
Absolutely not!
