@lizcollin@StarTribune Victim’s forgiveness is for the victim’s peace, not for the benefit of the offender. Good Lord, who doesn’t understand this dynamic? Forgiveness has no weight in this matter.
@lizcollin As they should. Ridiculous. Do the time, don’t reoffend-but with this crime there should be no pardon. There is NO do over with child sexual abuse.
@geraldposner There is no excuse, no legitimate rational for this decision. There are some crimes that should NEVER receive a pardon, sex abuse of a child is one of them. An offender may move on with their life and never reoffend-however there should still be no pardon. Period.
@TheKitchenPB Being an effectively mobile over 65 guy, I’m not a fan of the lob because of safety concerns for my age group. However, I’ve also noticed it’s often folks in my age group who lob the most. It’s a head scratcher.
