A Wisconsin man is charged with bludgeoning his grandfather to death, allegedly in anger over a crime that occurred before he was even born. Charles Luitze, 70, was found dead inside his home in August with a hammer still embedded in his face, according to the Kenosha News. Luitze was a registered sex offender as a result of a 1991 conviction—and his grandson, Bryan Luitze II, 25, allegedly told a relative he was thinking about “taking him out” as retribution for his past crimes.

True he may have known but being on a registry makes people feel like society is giving them the go ahead to do what ever they want . It’s like saying anyone on this list is open season. Do what you want.
He was known to his friends and such as the grandson of a sex offender on the registry, now he is a hero to all his friends and such. There will be a go fund me page in the near future for the hero.
Most of his friends will forget about him, after he’s been locked up a little while.
Sad death, but I don’t think you can blame this death on the registry. I’m sure the grandson would have known about his grandfather’s conviction even without the registry.
All of my family and even some of my friends, no matter what they did, I would still love them.
I mean it wasn’t like this grandson was the victim of his grandfather. The victim didn’t seem to want to harm him and probably moved on.
Now the grandson hopefully gets a long prison sentence and every day he can think about how he is now no better than his grandfather, as he is now a murderer of a family member who did nothing to him (As far as we know).
If he wanted to take someone out that bad, he should have joined the navy seals or something.
Sad, twisted and sick. Prayers for the family of the grandfather.
Sounds like the grandson was the real monster in the family.
The assailant “ has been in custody at Kenosha County Jail since Aug. 17 on a probation hold for a previous conviction.”
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Absolutely horrific. Another human being murdered because of the registry. This time by a family member. If this case can’t trigger a lawsuit to make the registry for law enforcement only, nothing can.
Being on the registry is the same as having a murder contract out on your life. It’s just a matter of time before the hitman comes.
Where are the social justice warriors now? Where are the woke voices for respecting the dignity and human rights of ALL Americans?
America is no longer the country I grew up in.
Appalling!! The grandson is a monster!! I hope he gets life in prison with no possibility of release. Ever!!
I second that and I will add that hopeful he will meet an equally gruesome end while doing so!
It appears that criminals with other crimes justify in their minds that their crimes were not that bad compared to sex crimes. And by them taking what they consider justice in their own mind, into their own hands , they can appear as a hero instead of a criminal. In so doing it minimizes their crimes as insignificant in comparison to the person on the registry.
Why shouldn’t he think that way. Society has put this persons identification as a warning for all to see and take whatever actions they see fit against this person.
“Collateral consequences” smh
