And don't think it's rightwing-think. They protect sex offenders and apparently rapists too. It's more likely the "poor rapist had a hard childhood" mentality than anything else, ime.
I'm serious. I was driven out of the state by a registered sex offender who moved into the condo above mine and decided he wanted to stick his dick in me. I had the gall to say no. Over and over again. For years. He and his gang punished me by harassing me for 3 years, 24x7. They shoved porn under my door. I couldn't enter or leave my condo without walking through a crowd of them yelling taunts at me. The would pound on their floor (my bedroom ceiling) randomly throughout the night to keep me from sleeping for weeks at a time.
The condo manager told me to "be nice to him. He's had a hard life." She also removed the video camera he had trained on my car and the mirror on a pole that was aimed at my bedroom window, and then denied they existed. 
The police told me I should leave town because they couldn't protect me. They weren't allowed to tell me he was a registered sex offender. They said, "We have a file on him an inch thick and a mile long. And that's all we are allowed to say."
I sold everything and moved a few states away.
