1. "A history of child sex offenses"

Then why the fuck wasn’t he in prison??

There are so many nonviolent, drug-related offenders jammed in to our jails and prisons, as well as for minor probation violations like failed drug screens or missing appointments, but this pos dangerous guy was out amongst the public.

It’s maddening.

I saw a Frontline a few years ago about prison reform and a man had the best quote: “We need to decide who we are mad at and who we are afraid of.”

3. That's my question!

Multiple offenses n he’s out to harm again? I have 2 granddaughters..14 n 18 n I worry constantly. They get arrested n back out in society..multiple times! This is nutz. This young girl will need some special care n maybe a martial arts studio will invite her for some lessons..she obviously has the will to fight back.

6. Because the law thinks that's what women and children are for.

That's why.

2. The ones that don't win the fight often just "disappear". n/t

7. I had the same thought. How many children don't get away.

And are never found.

15. Heartbreaking story.

Will women and children ever be safe on this planet?

4. Lucky there was a camera rolling. I bet that girl was screaming her heart out.

11. That's probably one of the reasons he got spooked and took off.

She was screaming, and that was eventually going to attract attention.

When my daughter was little, I used to tell her that if any stranger ever tried to take her somewhere she didn't want to go, she should kick and flail like crazy and scream her lungs out. Basically make as much noise and
commotion as possible. She never had to make use of that advice (fortunately), but I still stand by it, especially after seeing this.

5. I wish

he fill on the knife'

8. The Sheriff said there were lot of private homes in the area and he won't say where the video came..

.... I'll bet I know a good likely place.

This is a good story in the Guardian.

Would you let Amazon/police use video captured with your surveillance camera?

10. Right up to the "Home Ring Funniest Videos" show. Why put Amazon and the police on the same level???

I'll cooperate with police finding a child molester, say, but they get nothing from me on the BLM or voter's rights march past my house just before the attack. Screw Amazon.

13. Oh so would I. In fact I used surveillance equipment installed by me. To arrest two vandals....

.... caught in the act less than an hour later with material stolen from the property.
