Sniffle
A teenage sex offender was removed from a custodial treatment facility because he’s an illegal immigrant and no one would pay.
The question of who gets to enroll in community college has sparked more debate, but this case touches on bigger concerns. Public safety is at stake.
The juvenile, identified as “D.G.” in court proceedings, admitted to a first-degree sex offense in Burke County three years ago. He was 15. The victim was a 5-year-old boy. (major snip)
The matter of D.G. is complicated and confusing, but cases like this should be handled with the public interest in mind. For a juvenile sex offender, the best course is to provide treatment in hopes his dangerous behavior can be corrected. Immigration status should not be considered. Denying treatment on the grounds that D.G. didn’t have a legal right to live in this country didn’t make sense because D.G. was living here, and it would be foolish to assume that would change.
Three points:
- We wouldn’t even be having this debate if the government would do what the majority of Americans want, and that is to uphold the law. In some instances, they do, more at the county level then anything else.
- Why should Americans have to pay to rehabilitate this scum sucker? Deport his worthless ass or throw him in jail. Last time I checked, 1st degree sexual assualt on a minor was supposed to result in hard time.
- Can you tell what kind of story that is? News or opinion? When you cannot tell the difference, is it not time to question exactly what the media is doing?
As Warner Todd Huston pointed out earlier, we on the Right do not want to destroy the Credentialed Media, just highlight their biases, and perhaps get them to practice their craft with some integrity and some neutrality. Opinion is fine. If Mo Dowd or any of the BDS/PDS folks at the Grey Lady and other outlets want to go off the reservation, go for it. That is their job. Opinion. But, too often nowadays It is difficult to tell the difference between a news story and an opinion piece.
