Last month we posted this article about a man who looked up registrants on the Megan’s Shaming List, showed up at a random victim’s doorstep, and when the registered citizen opened the door, attacked him with a hammer.

The vigilante was charged with “criminal mischief”.

The charge defied reason. This was a premeditated, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, intended to do serious bodily harm to the registered citizen. However, because the victim was a “sex offender” the perceived seriousness of the crime was somehow justified and his charges were a joke.

Next month, in Wisconsin, an arsonist who burned down the intended home of a registered citizen will be sentenced and according to the prosecutors, under the plea deal they will not seek prison time for the vigilante.

Hmmm… Out of curiosity, let’s take a look at the Wisconsin Statute:

943.02 Arson of buildings; damage of property by explosives.
(1) Whoever does any of the following is guilty of a Class C felony:
(a) By means of fire, intentionally damages any building of another without the other’s consent;
What’s the punishment for a “Class C felony”?

According to Wis. Stat. § 939.50, a conviction for a Class C or D felony can result in:

  • a prison term of up to 40 years (for Class C) or 25 years (for Class D)
  • a fine of up to $100,000, or
  • both imprisonment and a fine.

So this guy is facing up to 40 years in prison but the prosecutor agrees to ZERO prison time because the victim was a registered citizen?

Looking at these recent injustices is a scary reminder of Nazism or racism, where a human being’s “status” somehow justified the commission of a horrible crime against them.
