Exorcist Jindal to exorcise registered citizens from public libraries

So not only will Jindal ban all registrants from using libraries, he's adding them to the list of places registrants can't even travel within 1000 feet. Next up, separate water fountains.

Baton Rouge -- The Louisiana Legislature has given final approval to a measure that would add public libraries and the surrounding 1,000 feet to the list of areas that convicted sex offenders cannot go unless granted specific exceptions. Senate Bill 753 by Dale Erdey, R-Livingston, now goes to Gov. Bobby Jindal for his certain signature.


State law already restricts convicted sex offenders from going near schools, playgrounds and other facilities frequented by children. Erdey said libraries should be added for consistency. The bill set Jan, 1, 2013, as the deadline for governing authorities of public libraries to develop specific guidelines for the law, including any exceptions. The sponsor accepted an amendment along the way to clarify that the law would not apply to sex offenders who are using another police station or courthouse to comply with separate state law requiring them to register on a public database. Erdey said in some Louisiana towns, the law enforcement agency handling the registry is located within 1,000 feet of the public library.

Louisiana Gov. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal mad at Federal Judge for upholding 1st Amendment

Louisiana Governor Piyush "Bobby" Jindal is back on the Shiitake Awards radar. He won the Worst politico of 2008 and won notoriety for his "Monsters" speech. He's the Alfred E. Newman of the Political world. After all, he once claimed to have exorcised a demon. I seriously doubt a career politician can exorcise demons, lest they exorcise themselves out of office. He should be thanking the demons that got him re-elected instead.

I can't understand how a man like Jindal can get re-elected. Then again, we're talking about the only state as stupid as Florida. At any rate, Jindal is livid over a federal court decision that struck down a pet project of his-- banning former offenders from using social networking sites.U.S. District Judge Brian Jackson ruled Thursday that the prohibition -- which took effect in August -- was too broad and infringed on constitutionally protected speech.. Jindal's response? "It’s offensive that the court would rule that the rights of sex predators are more important than the rights of innocent children. As the father of three young kids, I will do everything in our power to protect Louisiana families and that includes appealing to the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and bringing legislation this upcoming session to fortify and strengthen the law.". Actually, it is offensive to assume the US Constitutional is not as important as your political campaign. No one wants that snake oil you are buying, Bobby Jindal.
