Sex offender with gun found at school

"A 57-year-old sex offender who had not re-registered with the sex-offender registry was found on school property Tuesday with a gun stuck in his waistband, police said."

"Patton was charged with being a sex offender on school property, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and failing to re-register with the sex offender registry, a spokeswoman for the Cook County state's attorney's office said."

"He was convicted in 1977 in Cook County Circuit Court of raping a victim under the age of 18 and was released from prison in 2002"

Add this to the list of stories that meet the following criteria:
  • Person commits a crime
  • Person is apprehended, charged, and convicted
  • Person serves some/little/no time and is released
  • Person commits more crimes
  • The public cries for more laws to keep bad things from happening instead of crying for criminals to be kept out of society

It's interesting to me how quickly liberals will stand up and scream, "BAN THEM! DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!" about guns. And yet you never hear them say, "KILL THEM! DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!" about sex offenders. The stark contrast, of course, is that sex offenders DO cause crime. I guess they're not actually interested in solutions that work.
