Some candyass politicians in Maine have created a bill that would make it a crime to "peer at children in public."

Rep. Dawn Hill, a Democrat (of course) from York, says that she wants to strengthen the crime of visual sexual aggression against children. [original statute | proposed amendment] She got involved after hearing the story of police being called to a local beach to deal with a man who seemed to be watching children entering community bathrooms. But the problem is, the state could not do anything about this man staring and watching ... committing this heinous crime of visual sexual aggression of a child in a public place. So now, this government twit wants to do something about it – make it illegal.

Under this bill, if someone is arrested for looking at children in a public place, it will be classified as a Class D felony if the child is 12 to 14 years old and a Class C felony if the child is under 12 years of age. The York Police Chief Doug Bracy says that this is only a minor change that will help keep the children safe. Bracy also says that "there is a growing outcry by the public to protect our children," particularly from all of those pesky tourists from all over America that visit York.

Much of this "growing outcry" is no-doubt from hysterical soccer moms. Just why is soccer so popular with parents? Because they think (though they may be wrong) that it is safer for their kids. They won't get hit. Nobody will try to tackle them. Nobody is throwing anything at them. They just run around a kick balls .. nice and safe for the soccer mom crowd.

This idiocy would have gotten me thrown in jail many many years ago. My daughter was around four years old. One day at home I accidentally walked into the bathroom while she was on the throne. "Daddy! Don't look!" I immediately apologized, got out and closed the door. A few weeks later we were at a local park. She wanted to use the bathroom so I accompanied her to the ladies room (mommy wasn't there) and told her I would wait outside. When we arrived there was a line ... so I stood there with her waiting. Suddenly .. in a voice that was far too loud, she says "Daddy, why do you look at little girls while they're going to the bathroom?" I could have crawled under a rock. Of course, in today's world I probably would have been arrested.

Why did I tell this story? Two reasons: To illustrate why laws like this moronic "visual sexual aggression of a child" law, are dangerously absurd, and to give the MediaMorons crowd something interesting to add to their anti-Boortz posts. Now they can say that I was once accused of "looking at little girls while they go to the bathroom." That would be par for the course for the moonbats at MediaMorons.loons.
