A cause for celebration!

AUSTIN - Backers of a Senate bill to toughen punishment for child-sex
offenders said they've reached a deal that would permit the death penalty for
offenders who repeatedly prey on children.
The compromise bill, which was distributed to Senate members on Tuesday, would allow the death penalty only for those twice convicted of raping a child 13 or younger. It also boosts mandatory minimum sentences for a variety of sex crimes against children.

This is wonderful news. I sometimes wish I was a Texan. Predators enjoy too many slap on the wrist penalties. When they do what they do, they scar the child for life. We do not need people like them in our society.
