Trick or Groping?: ACLU Protects Sex-Offenders' Right To Participate In Kids' Holiday of HalloweenIt's "unconstitutional" to preclude convicted sex-offenders from dispensing candy to children? The ACLU's beef is, of course, that it's "unconstitutional" to continue heaping punitive punishments (not as redundant as it looks) on ex-convicts. But there are a lot of civil restrictions on ex-cons. Does the ACLU likewise support ex-cons' 2nd Amendment right to buy as many guns as they like? I don't know the answer to that; it's possible that the ACLU's love of criminals trumps its hatred of guns, and maybe they actually do think that convicted armed robbers, killers, and rapists should have free access to handguns and shotguns. But whatever their stance is-- it is not a criminal punishment to restrict the behavior of ex-cons as regards certain hazardous activities and purchases. It's a kind of regulation, really-- and liberals love regulation, don't they? Banning convicted child molesters from participating in Halloween is not like denying them any place to live or any ability to work at any job. It's one day a year, a minor holiday, and one intended chiefly for children. Perverts can take the day off and save themselves the hassel of having to buy all those bags of miniature Clarke bars and just spend the night in the basement watching porn. posted by Ace at 05:09 PM

I believe a number of probation officers have ordered them to come spend the day at the probation office with them. Posted by: on October 28, 2005 05:44 PM
Legislation needs to be enacted stating that being convicted of sexually assualting a child is an automatic life sentence without possibility for parole. They cannot be rehabilitated any more than a gay man can be made straight. No pun intended. Check out family watchdog to see just how many scumbags are in your area. You might be surprised. And those are just the ones who are registered. Posted by: compos mentis on October 28, 2005 05:53 PM

Parole and other forms of post-conviction supervision have all kinds of restrictions that you couldn't impose on just anyone. Silly position on the part of the ACLU. the government should be permitted to get is own attorney fees when it wins. Posted by: slickdpdx on October 28, 2005 06:02 PM
I thought everyday was Halloween for those types. Aren't they famous for being a bunch of creepy monsters and offering candy to children? Posted by: Mr. Right on October 28, 2005 08:29 PM
Of course parole has restrictions, as does probation. If a person is on parole that person is still serving his or her sentence - it didn't go away, they just get to spend their years outside of the Big House. Any violations, however, and back you may go. Same with probation, except with probation you do not go to the Department of Corrections per se, you start off outside and any violation may get you back into court, probation revoked, and serving time as a guest of the state/federal government. Probation and parole are just cheaper for government to run, but they are not required. Neither is pretrial bail, only excessive bail is unconstitutional. No one has a right to any of these programs. To sum up, don't do the crime and you will not have to serve time in any fashion. Posted by: Mikey on October 28, 2005 11:04 PM

There's one of the scumbags just one street away from me who was convicted for sexual battery. That's it. I'm buying a gun. I've been meaning to since I got married, but have been putting it off.

I'm don in SC; a single guy (my live-in is up in Rochester, NY with her parents this weekend), in a house I bought this year in a new area. I don't know my neighbors well, and they don't know me. I had originally planned to hide in the house this halloween, but since it's been announced everywhere that sex offenders are required to keep all exterior lights off and not answer the door during trick or treating times, I now HAVE to give out candy, otherwise everybody around here is going to think I like to touch little boy packages. Excuse me, I have to go get candy corn now... Posted by: McGurk on October 29, 2005 11:47 AM
So I live in Berkeley. Only a few blocks from the high school. Wow. Apparently the area in a 5-block radius around me is CHOCK A BLOCK with them thar sex offenders. Yikes. Yikes for the high school kids. Yikes for just about everybody. Berkeley - a haven for sexual criminals? Whoda thunk? Posted by: Knemon on October 29, 2005 05:08 PM

Tousi TV: France closes embassy in Tehran, US Department of State advises all US citizens to get out of Iran
He's been saying that Tuesday will be a decisive day. Other reports say that Trump is in the last stages of planning an action against the mullahs. (And other reports say that Tucker Carlson Simp JD Vance is attempting to get Trump to agree to "negotiations" with Iran -- for fucking what? What do we get out of saving the fucking mullahs and letting them kill and torture their own people? Apart from Tucker Carlson getting to pretend he's a Big Man Influencer and that he's worth all the Qatari money he's receiving.)
