1. Your terms are acceptable.

2. I can see a whole new industy poppin up- huntin sex offenders with belt feds and helicopters…

3. They keep projecting their attitudes on us. I wonder how they’ll feel when the red states start passing versions of this targeting child molesters and other rapists. Those are two solid blue constituencies…

4. Don’t forget that in their worlds a “sexual abuser” may as well be yesterdays sexual partner.

5. That law would bring in a LOT of Democrat pols…

6. They really aren’t all that bright, are they?

7. I’d have assumed this was a law being passed by Texas, not a law being passed to “[take] a jab at Texas.”

   I mean, hell, you could probably convince Texans to pay $10k for a permit to hunt sexual predators, let alone offering them reward money for the act.

   Insert ‘Don’t threaten me with a good time.’ gif here.

8. I’m with tiredWeasel. Is the focus on abuse or on unwanted pregnancies? Just what exactly is a sexual abuser? Some crazies have defined all sex as rape. Is this a rapist, or is this someone who gets his date/girlfriend/wife pregnant when she didn’t want to be? Is this someone who intentionally drugs or intoxicates a woman in order to have sex, or is this someone who, in a mutually drunken hookup, has sex with a woman who is just as competent (or incompentent) as he and the result is a pregnancy? Get your contracts signed in advance, men.

   If the focus is careless but non-abusive types who contribute to an unwanted pregnancy, I think there is already in place something much more compelling than a $10,000 bounty — 18 years of child support.

   If the focus is on sexual offenders, is the bounty Dead or Alive?

   1. Sadly, minorities don’t file for 18 years support and when they do, the street junkies can’t afford to pay for their multitude of children, with a plethora of baby mommas. You dumbass working stiffs pay the government billions to give the baby mommas millions. Fees and carrying charges, you know.

9. Just remember that to Democrats, “those who cause unwanted pregnancies” now includes the Republican majority in the Texas legislature that passed the “abortion ban”. In the Democrats’ mind, the Texas GOP is now “responsible” for all unwanted pregnancies in the state.

   Their proposal is part bounty on sexual predators, part bounty on duly-elected opposition.

   (And they’ll defend to the hilt any Democrat accused of sexual predation. It will never be authorized to claim a bounty on a Democrat because Democrats — and only Democrats — are innocent until proven guilty; Republicans are guilty until proven guiltier.)

   1. I’m sure you’re absolutely correct but, (since no one else has) I’m calling dibs on ol’ Slick Willie anyway.

10. Please, please, please, let this become federal law. I really want to see the democrat party try to backpedal from the unintended consequences of this once even more black men are imprisoned for the crime of “unwanted pregnancies.”

    Although in the end maybe it’s just a way for the crips & bloods to go mainstream & claim that their drive-by shootings are legitimate “bounty hunting” activity.

11. I propose a amendment to the law legalizing dueling for slander as a means of killing the bill. The only way the democrats would even propose this is if they have a plant to directly weaponize it. If they go ahead and pass the bill at least we would of gained a way to deal with the corrupt media.

12. Seth,

    They don’t have a plan. Remember whats-her-name that filibustered the TX legislature for a few hours? The darling of the media for a week? the Democrat Governor candidate that got thoroughly beat? Wendy Davis!

    The Democrats had no plan to follow up her “Brave Resistance.” the governor called a new special session, and past the bills anyway.

    This is a gimmick to play off the $10,000 Abortion Bounty. A gimmick to get positive media exposure from an already friendly media.

    Although I do like your Dueling as a remedy for slander proposal.
