What is Wrong With This Story?

Here it is:

Police in the Ohio city of Cleveland urged families of missing people to come forward with pictures of their absent relatives yesterday after the discovery of six badly decomposed bodies at the home of a convicted rapist, prompting a mass murder investigation.

Did you catch it? If you didn’t, I’ll give you another shot:

The bodies came to light on Thursday and Friday when officers visited his home to investigate an allegation of rape. Sowell has already served 15 years in prison for choking and raping a 21-year-old woman who was lured to his bedroom in 1989.

Get it? Ok, for those who are inattentive – key in on “convicted rapist” and “served 15 years in prison for choking and raping”. You see, if this man was still serving the life sentence without parole he should have got, then the six women in his home would still be alive.

There’s just something about a person who rapes – whether its a man raping a woman or an adult raping a child: once they do it, there doesn’t seem much chance they won’t do it again. Anyone who rapes, once convicted, should never be let out of jail. While good behavior might merit an easy prison, the fact remains that such people cannot be trusted around anyone they may be able to victimize.

Rape should not be a three strikes your out thing – once you rape, away you go, for good.
