Cut 'em off!

Now we're talking:

Violent sex offenders could face castration under state legislation (registration required)

MONTGOMERY -- The House passed a bill Thursday that would require mandatory castration of persons convicted of violent sex crimes against children under 12 and would require them to wear electronic monitoring devices for the rest of their lives after release from prison.
...
A milder version of the legislation passed the Senate 35-0. The Senate version provides stiffer penalties for sex offenders, provides for electronic monitoring for at least 10 years and toughens requirements for them to report their location to police, but does not include the castration requirement or other tougher language added in the House.

Well, I hope the House version makes it through the Senate--at least the castration part.

Of course, the ACLU and other moonbat institutions will probably be whining about this tomorrow. It's already started--from within the legislature:

But several lawmakers said some legislators were going too far to be tough on crime, possibly because they will face re-election next year.
"At the rate we're going with this election politics, it seems to me we might as well just go on and kill these folks,'' said Rep. Demetrius Newton, D-Birmingham, speaker pro tem in the House.

Well, OK then. Let's do it.

But most lawmakers argued that it was necessary to take all steps to protect children from sex offenders.
"If I had my way, they would never get out of prison,'' said Rep. Blaine Galliher, R-Gadsden.

Certainly no reasonable person would disagree. They ought to be put under the jail.

At any rate, good for the Alabama legislature.
