Vermont: Protecting child molestors, insulting their victims.

This is what comes up when you go to the State of Vermont's sex offender website. Although it appears that it probably meets the letter of the law, it comes nowhere near what the spirit of the law instructed the various states to do. Is it any wonder that a state so hostile to parents trying to protect their children from the worst of society could produce a Judge Edward Cashman?

This is exactly the type of hostility the framers of the Wetterling and Megan Laws were trying to stop. Notice how smug and Democrat sounding the preamble is.

"Access to sex offender information in Vermont is provided to the public as the result of the Jacob Wetterling Registration Act, which was passed by the United States Congress and Megan's Law, which requires states to release relevant information about registered offenders to protect the public. "

Doesn't this just say "Hey we're more interested in protecting child molestors than helping you!"? The language says they wouldn't be doing a thing if they were'nt "required" by federal law. Ask you Congressman/woman to see that HR 2423 The Sex Offender Notification and Accountability Act, or this type of mockery will never end.

Considering there are more certified moonbats than milking cows in the CCCP-VT now, what did you expect?

And while you are at it, send an email to governor@vermont.gov, and let them know what you think about the child rapist who got sixty days.

O'Reilly is all over this. This type of criminal judge(sic) is where he does his best.

I tried sending an email to that address and it was returned. I then went to Vermont Governor Douglas's email form and sent it that way. It went through.

This is no surprise. NAMBLA was contributor to Dean's gubernatorial campaigns and they were rewarded. If it had not been caught by some astute lawmaker's, laws would have passed making it legal for men to have consentual sex with 12 year old boys there.

[teenyelliott]

Weird. I sent one yesterday no problem. I know they have gotten thousands, so maybe they are having problems with it.

Thanks for getting it through, though.

Sounds like a totally wonderful state to rear children in. (sarc /off). Ref tagline.

[NotchJohnson]

Seeing this on O'Reilly and the AG claims Vermont is the safest state. Vermont has 200 people.

[de Buillion]

The Vermont AG sounds like a real strong law-enforcement type, doesn't he? (sarcasm off).
