Curt Schilling Fights Back Against Daughter’s Twitter Trolls

Hold your horses. There are many crimes that don't put people on a life-ruining sexual predator list. Murder for example. That doesn't make them 'acceptable'.

I don't think this crime should go on that special list. I think a reasonable maximum for this crime is a few months in prison, similar to misdemeanor battery.

I don't think the register is justifiable at all, to be honest. We don't have it where I live (Australia) and we don't have higher levels of sexual assault than the U.S. (our rates are still too high).

If that was the point you were making, I apologise as I misunderstood you.

I wasn't making that point in this specific post, but I agree. It's a 'tough on crime' measure that doesn't actually help things.

"Tough on crime" almost never works. Appreciate your comments :-)
