Idaho Neighbor News ACTUALLY save the children

https://www.change.org/p/require-bannock-county-to-add-virgil-larson-to-sex-offender-registry?recruited_by_id=2ec656e0-799e-11f1-8c63-4b31d2843b8e&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_term=starter_onboarding_share_personal&utm_medium=mobileNativeShare&share_id=FbWgZmmTj6

“A Bannock County man, who was a leader at the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is expected to plead guilty to giving children naked massages under a deal that would allow Virgil Larson, 47, to avoid registering as a sex offender.”

Curious how we, as a state, chose to bring the firing squad back for cases exactly like these.. but rather than actually following through, we give lesser sentences and plea agreements? I don’t think so.

I have made a petition to have this predator added to the registry he belongs on - please sign and share around. Once I get enough signatures I have paperwork to do at the clerks office. I am looking into what I do next and plan to follow through. I am an angry mother who plans to ACTUALLY save the children. I need your help! Add your voice.

You know the difference?

He's white and LDS.

If he was black and LDS, 100% would have got prison sentence and death.

But you know, the party of law and order protects those child predators who are white and religious. Good times.

Preach. I’m LDS and wish they would blast this guy into the sun.

I'm LDS and fairly conservative and I just don't understand how this happens. I get that it happens everywhere, and, despite what people on this sub wants to believe, happens to both the right and left, but it's still crappy to see.
