Victimizing the victims

Rep. James Fagan, a Democrat lawmaker from the liberal mecca of Massachusetts made some incredibly asinine comments during debate last month on the state House floor that has set off a firestorm, and rightly so. Fagan said that as a defense attorney he would "rip apart" child rape victims who are forced to take the stand if his state passed mandatory sentencing for child sex offenders.

He said, "I'm gonna rip them apart...I'm going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined, that when they’re 8 years old, they throw up; when they’re 12 years old, they won’t sleep; when they’re 19 years old, they’ll have nightmares and they’ll never have a relationship with anybody.”

The "draconian" (as he called them) mandatory sentencing would require these predators to serve a minimum of 10-15 years for their role in destroying the life of a child...personally i think 10-15 years is probably a little too generous. Of course for Fagan i'm sure the real "victim" is the sick predator who should be lucky he doesn't live in Louisiana.

When all is said and done Fagan is just another example of the sad state of leftist liberal politics in America if he thinks Jessica's Law is "bad law".
