I'm not arguing with you. Yes, he does belong in jail.

I missed that link but I've found it now. They're saying that he sexually assault the child and later she came back with two other girls.

I'm just trying to figure out what the legal meaning of "aggravated sexual assault" is and I'm seeing that it could mean several things.

I read somewhere else that he only got seven years. That's so little time for that. I have a friend who married a man when her daughter was a toddler. He had "sex" several times with that daughter when she was a pre-teen. He got 30 years. This happened about five years ago.

Hahaha cool! Haven't seen the third one yet. Thanks, spider!

It's a good personality trait to seek the positive in others....
I like to do it too.

There are some situations where we are exempt from it.

Every time I try to feel sorry for the guy i get an image of a mutilated, raped, dead baby girl..and him jacking off to it.

That kinda ruins it for me.

Him saying he tried to avoid children did not mean he actually tried to avoid children.

Spider, we don't know if he raped the three girls or not. I looked up the definition of aggravated sexual assault and it describes several things including oral sex. I'm not saying that oral sex with the girls is good because it's awful. We do know that he did something bad to them but we don't know for sure if it was rape.

I really don't think we need to be getting on each others case for airing this tragedy out. Lets let the views "all the views" be heard. We need to show our adulthood and let things be said as all of us see them.

What would be dumb is if people did not concern themselves with the big picture here and "all" that are involved.

I am sorry for Lexie... he was one of the smart ones. I appreciate that his conduct around little girls has required a lot of improvement. I don't condone killing and torturing baby girls.

He WAS though, spirited and smart on this site. I think there is such a thing as rehabilitation into the community. We can't really convict or condemn a man on his past mistakes if he has not re-sinned or re-entered his old sinful ways. It is the promise of the correctional system, that some people learn their lesson behind the bars.

Lex seemed like a learned, smart feller, he was rather well-spoken in the written word. He made the mistake of not disclosing his identity of LexFountaine to authorities. I can believe, while I have no evidence, that this was his private refuge. He may not have created this alias and kept it secret to plan to commit some crimes, or a crime; he may have needed some refuge, a sort of identity in which he was not a convict, a condemned man. It is this identity that brought the best out of him, and he enjoyed it, even possibly without ill will or sinful or terrifyingly cruel thoughts.

I am sorry he had to go. I, for one, don't condemn him. I do believe in the occassional success of the correctional system.

I chalk up his reluctance to offer this alias of his for the authorities' knowledge to his wanting to reform and keep on the straight and narrow. I am not saying this as fact, as I hardly had a few exchanges with him, but it is possible.

Of course the possibility exists that he was harbouring sinister thoughts, and he was slowly working his way into committing more crimes agains female humanity.

I don't know. I can't tell. I am unable to decide, but I hold the opinion that we must not condemnt him until such time that we have evidence that he again had started to torture and rape after his release from prison.

It is true that his basic sexual urges never changed. No gay man will turn straight at 45, and no straight man will turn gay after 45. No sexual sadist will become a sexual giver-lover, and no sexual giver-lover will turn into a sexual sadist all of a sudden.

These tendencies are terribly unfortunate for both society, and the criminal; it is devastating to the families of the victims, and for the victims, it is hell. I hold, nevertheless, that jail and living standards there for fifteen years will make a man think twice before he commits the same crime again, and chances are he will never again.

All I am saying is that he had been punished for his old sinning, or criminal activites. We must not assume that he has done any of that since his release seven years ago, we most not condemn him automatically, we must give him the benefit of doubt.

It's easier, sometimes, to demonize that it is to look at the shades of grey.

Looks like it would have been one of those you "Keep watching because you can't believe it's *THAT* bad" types. At least they tried to get the characters personalities right in this one.

the gates of hell are rattling the walls here now. but, let me
set the scene, my son and a few of his friends all pre-ordered,
loaded, digital version, munchies, mountain dew, watching the clock
get closer to midnight... 12 strikes and...NADA. west coast time
can really put a crink in your plans you would think all
the blizzard years they've been playing games, they'd know this by now.
looks cool, i am tempted... :)

worth the wait??

He and the other child predators should receive the same type of treatment and compassion they showed their victims.

..I'm neither a Liberal or a Democrate I'm a mother and a grandmother.

why do you say that?

Yes, they get elected..and maybe Liberals was too broad of a spectrum...let's just say the people that want everyting to be all sweetness and light..slap someone's hand for murder or rape or sexual abuse of a child, compare it to let's say, a parking ticket. But whatever we do, let's not give an eye for an eye.
Those children were YOUNG small innocent beings that were preyed upon by a man weighing 208 pounds...what chance did they have? Who was there to protect them? He gave them no choice in the matter. Their lives have been RUINED if not completely taken away from them.

i say just castrate them... then the problem would be solved as as them ever doing it again.... eunuchs would never have the urge again...
