Repeat sex offenders deserve death penalty
In regard to "Anger builds after sexual assault" (Aug. 17), there's
another life ruined because of a sex offender who never should have been
out of jail. It wouldn't have happened if Albert Dumas Jr. of North
Whitefield had served the 20 years he was sentenced to in 1992. He served
60 % of that sentence.
Everybody wants to protect children and adults but where's the punishment.
I blame the Legislature and court system. Looks like the Legislature might
categorize sex offenders at different levels -- big deal. How about a
leper category -- probably too harsh. All are in the category of cowards.
All levels have ruined thousands of lives and cost society millions of
dollars. There's rehabilitation for certain crimes. But if he's done what
he is accused of doing, there's no rehabilitation or forgiveness. Who
would ever trust him again?
A rat's nest you eradicate -- you don't let some live. Linda Roinestad of
Windsor had a sign saying "Castrate Dumas." If found guilty, that is an
appropriate punishment. If they do it again, they should get the death
penalty. If it cramps anybody's style to mention the death penalty and
leper category, oh well. Something needs to be done, now, to protect
society.
