Takin' 'Em Out PAST The Woodshed !!!

The Texas House passed House Bill 8 yesterday by a vote of 118 to 23. Among other things, the bill would require a MANDATORY 25-year prison sentence to Child Sex Offenders and would expand the death penalty to repeat child sex offenders, even if no life is taken.

I'm not even going to go into what the 23 House Members were thinking that voted against this Bill, but at least it is a victory for many and a savior to many more.

The only valid argument that I have seen argued against this type of law is that a child molester would be further inclined to murder his victim. The thinking behind this is that if he kills his victim, his odds of being caught are diminished since there is (possibly) no witness... and his odds remain the same of getting the death penalty, and are still reduced in regards to getting caught.

If you want any justification for the new law, just look at your local Sex Offender Database and see how many child molesters live near you and only got off with probation.
