Feb. 23, 2005 I grew up in Bay Point, California. It is an unincorporated area with fewer than 25,000 residents. It is located in Contra Costa County. Recently a convicted child molester who completed a post-sentence rehabilitation program was moved into the area. This even though the community did not want him there and especially since he would live within a quarter mile of an elementary school. Furthermore, this happened after several other cities literally ran the man out of their towns. Being that Bay Point is unincorporated and without a city council (but rather a powerless, “municipal advisory committee”), there was nothing the citizenry, nor its so-called representatives could do. Yet, in our midst lies another pedophile who has lived in the community for years, yet has never spent a day behind barfs and why? Because he is a snitch, so in my book this makes him a worm on two counts. But an even bigger worm is the District Attorney who allowed this pinheaded pervert to plea-bargain for minimum jail time. The reason was because the information he supplies to the Sheriff’s department is reliable. This caused me to think, what rationale does the court use to convince us these men are “cured”? Forget all of the excuses the medical and psychiatric professions have made for their “sickness.” To me, excusable sickness is that which can be certified by a layman: Someone who is obviously brain damaged and needs a caretaker, or can’t pee without getting their shoes and socks wet. I'm referring to persons with obvious mental deficiencies, not someone who gets an urge, fondles a child and then blames it on having watched too many episodes of Josie and the Pussycats. Are we supposed to believe these individuals lack the ability to understand that their actions are indecent, immoral, and illegal? I ain’t buying it. I mean, if it were up to me, Judge Stelly would give people like this three years—in the gas chamber. That’s why the punishment must fit the crime and I’m all for—ta da! Bringing back the guillotine! Why? Because it's graphic, has a sense of mystique to it and much more frightening than lethal injection. And to expedite the sentence, a convict should be given ONE appeal—within thirty days of his original sentencing. I’m serious. What better way to deter crime by telling Felonius Monk, “You won’t be getting those ‘three hots and a cot.’ Tomorrow at dawn, it’s off with your head!” Can’t you see the pedophile trembling, knowing his “slice” of justice will be swift? People will say, "Thios would turn our courts into a circus!" Exactly my sentiment. Then just for laughs—and what’s a circus without clowns and laughter?—we should further degrade these perverts, even in death. After they are beheaded, we should pull a local resident’s name from a hat, then get an NFL place-kicker to try kicking that bastard’s head through football goalposts fifty yards away. And let’s make it interesting—if he makes it, the local wins $10,000. Look at uit like this: If the victim has been damaged and degraded, so should the perps. Now that’s REAL justice. Let’s eliminate parole for convicted adult molesters—and by adult, I mean anyone over the age of twelve—just like at the movies. Furthermore, let’s end this revolving door prison policy. Letting these douche bags back on the street, watching them take two more strikes, do more time, get paroled again, and screw up yet again makes no sense. I’m tired of this coddling of hard core criminals, whose anthem is, “If you don’t get it the first time, back up and try it again.” It’s time we play them a new tune: Folsom Prison Blues. ------------ About the author: Timothy Stelly is the 45-year old author of "Tempest In The Stone" and the upcoming, "The Malice of Cain".
