The Lubbock Witch(hunt) Project
Recently, KCBD-TV in Lubbock, Texas did a news story on local employment of sex offenders. Apparently these were law-abiding and productive individuals, but the “news” crew set out to destroy the lives these people were trying to put back together via listing their names, photos, and addresses of where they work, promoting vigilantism and resulting in the termination of at least two workers.
Not only does this action by channel 11 impact the lives of former offenders, but also their families (including children). This station neglected to state the facts about sex offenders, like that only a small percentage re-offend and that most are low-risk according to the Department Of Justice. However, KCBD profiled only a few out of the 90+ offenders they looked up, stating that the offenses of these selected few involved “rape”. According to new definitions, a rape can be regarded as anything between two teenagers having consensual sex to someone forcing sex on a victim at gunpoint! I think KCBD’s description of their crimes are likely inflated based on this finding, plus what about the others, are they all rapists? Likely not because factually, the majority of registered sex offenders have never committed rape.

Truthfully, this is nothing more than a witch hunt that was crafted to boost ratings using the dangerous tool of hysteria. Just imagine what the families of these former offenders are going through now. Can you say : starving kids?
