Twig and Berries


I heard about this on the news this morning and had to investigate a little further. Here's what I dug up, courtesy of wjhg.com Channel 7 Panama City:

The man known as the Ninja rapist won't be allowed to sexually assault any woman ever again.

Monday the State Attorney's office accepted a plea agreement for 35-year-old Bobby James Allen, Jr., which includes surgical castration.

Allen was the prime suspect in a number of sexual assaults on Bay County's eastside in 1998 and 1999. He was dubbed the "Ninja rapist" because he wore a black mask and Ninja-type outfit. It is believed he may have raped, or attempted to rape, as many as 7-women at knife-point, over a 2-year period.


As part of the terms of the agreement, Allen will serve 100% of a 25 year prison sentence as a dangerous felony sex offender. He'll then serve 10 years probation upon his release. He'll be designated a sexual predator, with all registration and treatment requirements, and electronic monitoring. And Allen has agreed to be surgically castrated. That surgery will be conducted within 8-days after his formal sentencing. He is scheduled to be sentenced on September 20th.

I'm in favor of mandatory castration for sexual offenders, however I think the twig should be reduced to just a mis-shapen pee-hole, in addition to removing the berries (completely). Offenders should then be forced to strut their stuff though the general prison population on a quarterly basis. Any more frequent, and they run the risk of becoming immune to the ridicule. Inmates seem to have a way of dealing with undesirables.
If they survive their prison term, a scarlet letter "R" tattooed on their forehead should be standard issue upon release back into society. And then, they must live their final years in one of two states: Arkansas or Tennessee.

I wonder if this post will affect my job application down at the local ACLU branch?

Sarge,
I couldn't agree more. Nice photo by the way. Did you take it?
