A Surprising Coalition is Fighting "Tough on Crime" Measure 73

Young women and children have always been protected by wealthy men, but not for the reasons you think. Do you really want to know where the 100 missing children from Oregon and Washington went? And maybe that's why selfish women and rich men have declared a 'war on men' who aren't worth a cool million.

For centuries they used war to get rid of men, who are stronger and more aggressive than women, and who pose the greatest threat to the ruling elite. Then they used marijuana, since until recently 80% of pot smokers have been men. And today, 'Hermann's Monsters' and the other Oregon predatory prosecutors use sex to get rid of men who are worth less than a million bucks. That's the real reason why Oregon police and prosecutors do credit checks on any one they investigate. They say it's to determine if the person is a flight risk. But it's really to find out if they might get sued for false imprisonment, or worse- And who do the public pretenders really work for?

Just the allegation of sex abuse means any man accused will be secretly indicted and held with excessive bail until they agree to sign a plea bargain, and become a sex offender for life! the secret Grand Jury allows the DDA's and their hand picked witnesses to lie with impunity, as long as they help the prosecutor get the "bad guy"...

And it don't matter how many polygraphs they pass ($200 each) and repeatedly say "that's not what happened", they are screwed for life. No forgiveness, innocent or not. The authoritarian thugs, who are invested in the private prison complex and the vindictive, phony-feminists have joined forces to destroy as many 'straight men' as possible-

And you ladies wonder why men feel they have no choice today other than to pick up a gun to get justice in America. One has to wonder how many of these recent murder-suicides occurred shortly after the woman made some comment about filing a sexual abuse charge. Woman who lie, or who manipulate their children to lie, get nothing, while most regular guys perceive that if they are ever accused of a sex related crime they know they will never get justice in Oregon. Be sure, passing Measure 73 will insure that more domestic disputes will end in violence-

That comment may be the craziest thing I've ever seen posted here.

Yep, that is a crazy post, and Kevin Mannix seems to have lost it as well. Saying people who help women and children get out of dangerous, life threatening situations "haven't done a darn thing to protect people from victimization" is at least incredibly ignorant if not crazy.

Thanks to several decades of corporate media hyping of Jon Benet and Elizabeth Smart, as well as tv crime dramas that have daily sex offender reruns, Nancy Grace and Oprah... sex offenders are right up there with terrorists on the fear scale, and considered even worse than murderers.

And so it shouldn't be surprising that a majority of people, when asked "Do you want even harsher punishment for sex offenders?" are automatically going to say "Why yes, of course!" without bothering to look at the details or the impact of the specific proposal. It's a gut reaction, which is why politicians from both parties also use it for easy brownie points.

That's not to say there's no reason to take the crime very seriously, but the person interviewed is very correct that prevention is where the focus really needs to be. Harsher punishment doesn't change a person's sexual ways. Harsher punishment doesn't prevent the act. And most importantly, harsher punishment doesn't do squat to help the person who's already been violated. Prevention is what matters most.

Until our views as a society are no longer decided by what scandalous topics are most profitable for media to obsess over and make a buck from, our votes will continue to be swayed more by drama than reason or logic.

People are dumb sheep - easily frightened & manipulated.
