I have issues with the whole sex offenders list in the first place. I understand it is meant to protect people, but in reality it does not. But I also have issue with the fact that it singles out one type of crime over another. Why not a drunk driving list? A I murdered someone list, or a I broke into a house list… See where I am going, all the list I stated would “protect” the citizens…
So why don’t we just make every person who ended up in court or jail register on a list? Because it would be unfair, unmanageable and well, just stupid!
The drunk drivers would say, “Hey, I paid the fine, went to class” the young punk who broke into your house would say “I went to jail, I paid my time” and the bleeding heart liberal would say, “Its unfair to make them pay for there crime twice”. And I would agree…
But…
The drunk will drink and drive again and the chances of the punk breaking into your house again, about 100%…. give or take … So why not a list, why not allow the local citizens access to a list that would let them know if a drunk or punk moved in… This way, when I go on vacation, i know who to ask and not ask to check up on my house. Or if I need a babysitter, do I really want to ask the drunk or punk? Oh, and if my kids are walking home from school, I want to make sure they know what houses to avoid…
Yep, this is just stupid…
As for this kid, I feel sorry for him.. No, I don’t think the hook up culture is the best way for a teen to ack, but that’s not the issue at hand. Too me, its the 14 year old girl that needs to be in trouble, she lied..
But, then again in today’s liberal world, if you feel like a woman, but your a man, you can still call yourself a woman, or if your white, but identify as black, you can call yourself black. So maybe this 14 year old girl felt like she was really 19… So in a liberal interpretation of this case, nothing bad happened. But back to my point. She lied… plain and simple.. She knew what she was doing, and she lied… She wanted sex… She got sex.. He got 90 days in jail and 25 years as a sex offender… She got sex… Something is wrong with this… She should get 90 days and he should get a good talking to about the dangers of trolling…
Computer science student Zach Anderson, 19, met a girl, 17, on the “Hot or Not?” app. He was from Elkhart, Indiana. She was 20 minutes over the border in Niles, Michigan. They hooked up. Once.
But it turned out the girl was really 14. She’d lied to Anderson and also in her profile. Now Zach sits in a Michigan jail, serving 90 days. When he gets out he will be on the Sex Offender Registry for 25 years.
Does anyone thinking treating him this way is necessary to keep kids safe? Anderson and his family certainly don’t.
Neither does his supposed underage victim. The girl readily admitted that she lied about her age, and in this WSBT-TV interview her mother admitted that Anderson “didn’t do anything my daughter didn’t do.” Everyone agrees the encounter was completely consensual. The only reason the police became involved at all is because the girl suffers from epilepsy, and when she didn’t come home as quickly as expected her mom worried and called the cops for help.
