Child molesting vs. murder

Thats an interesting idea.
I'd probably choose the bank robber, because he wasn't a serial killer(he didn't kill for no reason at all), he was obviously more concerned with the money than killing the 2 people. In other words, I could actually hang out with my neighbor if that was the situation; I don't associate with child molesters.
Neither, but if I had to choose, molested.
You'd first have to show an equal rate of recidivism between murderers and child molesters.
The preference would be based on the fear. Considering the high rate of recidivism of child molesters, a killer would make a better neighbour.
If you did not know their background, you'd probably get very little idea of it from their looks. However, in your place, I'd be curious about the killer but feel aversion for the molester.
Violent peope ike that should be put in a registry and chipped to protect the non-violent population and children. People should KNOW they are dealing with a murderer or child molestor.
Hell no, it depends on the type of killer. A first degree murderer a better neighbor than a molestor? If you don't have kids you don't have to fear the molestor, but who wants to live next to someone who not only killed, but planned it all out and murdered in the first degree?
You assume that any of us should live around violent criminals, what if we decide we don't want to live around either?
Well, that's what my post about. If we single out childmolesters but leave all other type of criminals alone, where is the equality?
On the other hand, if the criminal paid his debt to society, shouldn't we allow him a fresh start??
It will attract vandalism and rammings.
Cops in some cities, for example Omaha, like to pretend that the arrestee was masturbating. You know what a guy has to do to finish peeing if he has prostate problems? I don't want to talk about it.
Sure we should allow them a fresh start, without the trust and privacy of course. We should track them forever.
Except I don't have kids, and you said the killer was a bank robber.
Yeah. Although this choice is rather subjective, you might change your mind if you read about the mori bankrablas, where 8 innocents were MASSACRED with 47 bullets, just for money...

But of course you would take the childmolester over the bankrobbers...Again, subjective....They didn't kill for no reason, they killed for money... Understandable...
P.S.: I can actually understand/forgive a serial killer easier than a killer for money, because a serial killer just like a child molester is a mentally ill person with an urge to kill...

Actually I would wonder what type of sex offender. Was it Flashing, Attempted Rape, Date Rape, Sexual Harassment, Child Molestation, Urinating in public, public nudity, selling Play Boy to a 15 years old, Prostitution, Statuatory Rape.....?
Some of these are relatively harmless or easily reformed from. Some might have even been as simple as "He said/She said" or mooning. The person in questio coulf have had a psychotic break and is recovered now.
Not all Sex offenders are Pedophiles and not all Pedophiles are sex offenders. If being a Pedophile automatically made yopu a sex offender of one out of five people would be a sex offender, most of them never guilty of harm. I knew a Pedophile once who never ever touched a child. He never molested a single person, of course he was smart, soon as he found he had those urges he got treatment and found a true soulmate, a lovely woman with a rare genetic disorder that left her with the body of an eleven year old.
