Pedophiles Should be Put to Death

This morning, America saw the end to childhood as we've known it.

Back in my parents' time, kids could take off and play with their friends in the fields all day without fear even though their parents didn't know exactly where they were. My generation started to see things go downhill - what with the razor blades in Halloween apples and the missing children on the milk cartons, we began to feel unsafe. But we could still play outside unattended by parents. Kids today have to stay in groups and let their parents know where they are at all times for fear of the rare, but random kidnapping by a sexual predator. And, of course, there's always the on-line predator trying to get into their pants. But they can still be kids and have some remnant of autonomy, can't they?

No. Not anymore. Today an armed man drove up to a school bus stop in Florida, grabbed a 13-year-old boy out of a group of kids and took off with him. Someone's son is gone, without a trace, the victim of an unspeakable crime that wasn't supposed to be able to happen.

Fuck these pedophiles. They're stealing the lives and freedoms of all our children and filling us with fear. And in the process, they're destroying something beautiful about our culture. I'm fed up with their predation and their use and abuse of our most precious assets - our children - as if they are nothing more than a cheap sex toy. No more short prison terms or parole for these guys - it's time we made pedophilia a capital offense. Otherwise, childhood in America will be gone forever.
