So it is no surprise the message boards are flooded with praise for a white supremacist who killed a man on the list. Consider this-- I find it hard to believe that these two men, who met in prison, didn't know each other's backgrounds. I am willing to bet there is more to the story.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California white supremacist convicted of killing a child molester has been sentenced to 26 years to life in prison, while his wife — convicted of being an accessory — will be released from jail in about two months, The Sacramento Bee reported (http://bit.ly/17D3Y4l ) Saturday.
Charles Francis Gaskins, 48, was sentenced Friday after pleading no contest in March for the killing of Neil Hayes in 2009. A probation report said Gaskins was a member of a supremacist group that required its members to attack anyone with a history of child molestation.
Gaskins and his wife — Sandra Sheaves — was living in a home she owned in Carmichael, a community outside of Sacramento, when they allowed the 66-year-old Hayes to move in. Gaskins had met Hayes while they were both serving time in prison, The Bee said.
When Sheaves discovered on the Megan's Law website that Hayes was a registered sex offender, she told Gaskins.
Gaskins and Sheaves confronted Hayes in the garage of the home, with Gaskins killing him by repeatedly hitting him in the head with a large rock, prosecutors said.
Hayes' body was later found dumped along the side of a rural road about 35 miles away in Placerville.
As part of his no-contest plea, Gaskins insisted authorities go easy on Sheaves, who also was charged with Hayes' murder.
Prosecutors agreed, allowing her to plead no contest to accessory to murder. Sheaves, 43, was sentenced to eight years in prison.
"In a way, you almost instigated this, by showing the information from Megan's Law to Mr. Gaskins," Sacramento Superior Court Judge Sharon Lueras said in sentencing Sheaves.
With time served and other factors, Sheaves is expected to be released in 66 days, according to her attorney, James Warden.
Then there is the comment section. How can legislators and courts read this and deny the public registry spurs violence? I also screenshot a few comments from level headed people but they were drowned out by the frothy, foam-at-the-mouth witch hunters. It is time we abolish the public registry.

I understand when people get angry about sex offenders and predators, that is natural. My problem is that many people are arrested, thrown in prison and labeled a sex offender for things that they should not be. Then the public wants them murdered or killed. Before anyone jumps to conclusion they should know the real facts about the case, they should know the circumstance behind why they are on the sex registry in the first place. Sorry to tell you guys, but law enforcement and government are not telling you the whole story. Some people on the registry have committed crimes as minor as urinating in public or having sexual conversations with an adult who was they thought were role playing and you are saying that it is ok for these people to murdered. If you were to take the time to actually research these cases MOST of these men never had any type of contact with a child or intent to harm a child. When a person who you are close to is arrested and labeled a predator when in fact they are not, then tell me you still want all people on the registry murdered.
