Bizarro-America: touch a girl's arm and you're a sex offender!

Another case of lunacy here in America. This story must be read to be believed. A man grabbed a 14-year old girl's arm when he scolded her for running in front of his car, and therefore must now register as a sex offender. That's just insane.

He'd have been better off to just run the girl over. He'd have done a year or two for manslaughter at worst, and probably would have gotten off with no sentence at all. But he instead chose to reprimand the girl for her stupidity (perhaps teaching her a lesson she won't forget)--and now he's branded a molester, and that sticks with you forever.

What's worse, the man is convicted not for what he DID, but what he might have done later IF he was a sex offender. He was literally convicted because he MIGHT have been a molester. That has to be unconstitutional at some level. Otherwise we should ALL be in jail.
