Tony Rackauckas, Orange County California official D.A. (dumbass)

Raw-carcass and Runnion, what a pair.

This has been way overdue. For the past year or so, Tony Rackauckas, Orange County DA, has been the quintessential pimp for the sex offender park bans. It all comes down to his plans for eventual higher office, a ship that has hit a stumble when Raw-Carcass got sued the the mother of a homeless man brutally beaten to death by the dirty half-dozen of Fullerton's "finest." A homeless guy who ended up being the kid of a retired OC cop, no less (recently the city agreed to may the dead man's mom a million to keep quiet). So while Rackauckas has failed to charge four of six crooked killer cops, Tony has been trying to divert attention away from this case by pulling a Bobby Jindal and pimping sex offender issues, specifically park bans.

Kelly who? I'm busy exploiting this child for my re-election bid.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — Convicted sex offenders are barred from surfing at the famous pier in this Orange County city. In nearby Dana Point, they are prohibited from casting a fishing line in the harbor. And if they wander into a public park in Mission Viejo, they could be shipped back to jail for six months, following the City Council’s vote this year to ban them from a host of places where children congregate. “We need to protect our kids,” the Orange County district attorney, Tony Rackauckas, had told the Mission Viejo City Council. “The danger is very real.” Orange County finds itself at the enter of a new wave of laws restricting the movement of sex offenders. The county government and a dozen cities here have banned sex offenders from even setting foot in public parks, on beaches and at harbors, rendering almost half the parks in Orange County closed to them. Ten more cities are considering similar legislation.... Still, Mr. Rackauckas said he was satisfied that the laws were serving as a deterrent. “We’re not going to know how many kids were not molested or groomed for later sexual contact as a result of this law,” he said.

I know how many kids were saved by this law-- ZERO. So by not seeing anything he assumes it is working. What an idiot.  To quote Reason Magazine --" In other words, if the public safety benefits cannot be shown, we can just assume them." Great minds think alike. Of course you see the results below:

Sex offenders here can apply to the Orange County sheriff’s department to be allowed into a county park. So far, 15 applications have been submitted; all but one have been denied. One applicant requested access to Dana Point Harbor to continue working as a commercial fisherman. Another was a locksmith who did work at businesses at the harbor, and said he had a clean record during 28 years living in the area. A third wanted to attend a memorial service for his Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor, who had recently died. All three requests were turned down.

No surprise. How much are you willing to bet you will see Rackaukas use this crap when he runs for Attorney General? So long as this doesn't pop up too, Tony:

The man who struck the first blow killing Kelly Thomas,
still not charged for murder. Too many sex offenders to worry about!
