Kinda Scary...

...so this guy named Burnley Nickerson is getting out of prison today and the National Parole Board is warning the public that this man is at high risk to re offend. Re offend what, you ask...well for sexual assaults. This guy is like 69 years old and has a criminal record stemming back into the early 80's, all to do with violent sexual attacks on women. I guess his first victim was his wife and it hasn't stopped since.

I guess now the cops can't keep him in jail as they have no charges so basically he's going to roam the streets of Ydot until he does it again. That to me is completely scary especially when his last attack was an elderly woman (I think in her late 80's) in her own home.

Let's talk about rights for a minute. I understand that he has the right to a life...but don't we have a right to feel safe in our house, community, Province and Country? Why do his rights take precedence over mine? I'd dare say he's given us more than enough reason to take away his rights....can't that be a rule somewhere? Let's use that common sense thing again....I know some lack this gene...but I know all ya'll have it so here we go....

Why don't we have a law that states that if you commit crimes over X number(this gives those no-common sense people the opportunity to give input so let's let them pick a number 1-5)...you can't be allowed to make your own decisions anymore - the courts will and it won't be pretty. This man has been guilty of doing the same thing over and over again for the last 30 years and now the courts/cops say that there's nothing they can do...ya right...what about having the right to arrest him again if he is within 10 feet of a female or child.....seems to me he'd be back in jail before the cab could pick him up! Only sounds fair to me. People who are charged with anything to do with guns have a ban against ever using/being near a firearm....what's the difference? Just cause his "weapon" is attached to his body shouldn't mean it's any different....it's still a "weapon" used to hurt others...same deal....let's think about that.

Well that's what I think about that....oh and speaking of that said "weapon", that Governor that had a little problem yesterday by using his in the wrong "place" is now being accused of paying up to $80,000 for those lady friends. Didn't anyone send him the memo that said..."doing things the Bill Clinton way only gets you out of your job and gives those ladies loads of money after their book deals/interviews"! Must have been too busy and missed that memo....
