salim on the observer on bolsinga and some totally depressing shit

Salim's blog about the SF Observer's report of Erica's wild party in which Bolsinga's head gets clocked was mostly wonderful. Especially nice learning of the SFObserver's crime page being so totally 1920s style fantastic with references to "drug-slinging miscreants" etc.

This would have been all fun in games but for the reference to the pederast who was arrested for loitering in a playlot, and sent back to AZ, where he's apparently not out on parole (he being in SF, ogling children) - really this seems to be the problem with child molestors - we treat them like mentally ill homeless people - ship them off to somewheres else. I think this is simply horrible. As recent news reports indicate sending these types elsewhere is far worse than addressing the problem locally - for the record I'm for public stonings.

Seriously, if you have a conviction (in any state or country) for child molestation and you are in a park with children by yourself or with (an) other convicted child molester(s) you should be put in jail as if you molested a child. I know they're not sympathetic to child molesters in prison, so why do we tolerate them at all outside of prison?
