In 2015, Billingsley was sentenced to 30 years in prison, with 16 years suspended, after he pleaded guilty to a first-degree sex offense, court records show.

The Maryland sex offender registry shows he was released from prison in October. The registry classified him in “tier 3,” which includes the most serious charges and requires offenders to register for life.

    You make it so personal, using your logic, I could say the same as you. Your immediate though is that I’m a “killer in waiting”? Thats a pretty intense stance you are taking their for nothing more than a conversation. You do understand how society works right? People have conversations about topics and you are so strongly aposse to me that you are ready to make what I say seem, like worse? Think about that. Hmmm I think their is a larger issue at play here.

    Whats up? I’m not being a dick I genuinely want to know why you use such strong words to outline your argument?

    We could share the same ideals on other topics but this is what you think defines me?

    I think you have other reasons to lash out. We disagree on this but im not calling you a killer for saying I should be killed for simply expressing a view point.

    Breath mate, relax.

      Yes this is a big part of why I am a near-abolitionist about prison and am utterly opposed to the death penalty.

      I think you have other reasons to lash out.

      I didn’t lash out. Perhaps you’re missing the meaning of “farcical?”

      I have calmly reiterated to you, with repeated examples, that these lines are blurry and being too gung-ho about the death penalty gets innocent people killed and opens the door to ever-further expansion.

        Yes, you lashed out dude. You labeled me a killer in waiting, seemed a little harsh. Im happy you have such strong feelings about it.

        I am not asking for lines to be blured and I am apposed to innocent people executed or even falsely sentenced to prison, put there by courrpt individuals looking to close the case, get a promotion, etc.

        The innocence project an institution i belive in but we shouldn’t have to rely on it to catch a problem rather than fixing the courrption that leads to false convictions or executes based on flimsy evidence.

        But in my mind, and call it toxic if you want but, I feel really strongly that a person like Chad Doerman the person that shot his 3 toddler aged kids on his front law while their mother lay over them to try save them and got wounded in the process he was calm and just showed absolutely no remorse he just end 3 kids live and is allowed to live, call me names for not wanting him or btk or green river or the golden state being alive.

        You calmly did nothing, you just went straight into “kill mode” without even having a decent conversation. Its hard to gauge a person on the Internet but I just find people are super on edge, ready to hurt someone in a flurry of text. I don’t hate you or anything, infact. I hope you have a nice day\night.
