Keep the Statute of Limitations

Radical feminists in the Washington Legislature are trying to throw up a dragnet that may catch a few more sexual predators than presently, but tinkering with laws to the degree that could ensnare a sea of innocent men.  There is a lock-up-males mentality going on in this particular Legislature; felonies or misdemeanors, guilty or not, actual crimes or invented, but cooler heads in the Senate, so far, are not as pliable as those in the House of Representatives, where the practical leader of the henpecked legislators, Pellicciotti, sits.

Hardly no one would deny that certain sex crimes are heinous and perpetrators found guilty should be held fully accountable, but to say that Statute of Limitations laws should be thrown out for general sex crimes is irresponsible, as evidence for these types of crimes are not the easiest to maintain for long periods of time, among other objections to tearing up Statute of Limitations laws; with rare exceptions like murder, which should never have a Statute of Limitations, or certain crimes against the youngest children.  

Nonetheless, going by a report that was published in the Federal Way Mirror this week, the radical feminists have an answer for tenuous evidence: no evidence at all, other than an allegation, and if they were to succeed, even an allegation about an alleged crime from 10, 30, 50 or 70 years ago.   If the Legislature went down that road, that would be a rank dereliction of duty in protecting both victims and the wrongly accused.  Justice relies on balance.
