Texas House approves death penalty for hardcore repeat offenders

Laws are getting tougher on child sex predators, but now the death penalty? The Texas House approved death penalty for hardcore repeat offenders. It goes to show the pedophiles out there better get treatment fast or else lose their lives - literally. And being social recluses stuck in front of the computer all day, secretly browsing sexually obscene materials, and listening to the lies and hatred of right-wing extremist ideology is not going to cure their pedophilia.

Texas House approves death penalty for hardcore repeat offenders

AUSTIN — Texas could sentence some hardcore child molesters to death under a bill given preliminary approval Monday by the state House of Representatives.

In a bill designed to crack down on sex offenders who repeatedly prey on children, the House voted to create a new category of crime — continual sexual abuse of a young child or children — that carries a minimum of 25 years to life in prison and possibly the death penalty for a second offense.

The bill represented a compromise after the House delayed a vote on a broader death penalty provision over constitutional concerns and worries it might lead some molesters to kill their victims.
