Fox News - A California man was sentenced to seven years in prison Monday for putting up “dead or alive” posters for his daughter’s sex-offender boyfriend. Domingos Jose Oliveira offered a $3,000 bounty “for the body” of Sean Kirk, 33, a student at Grossmont College. His attorney, Michael Earle, said his client was a concerned father who was trying to do what he believed was best for his daughter. "I think in his mind he was doing what was best for his daughter," Earle told the station.
Hard to feel bad for this guy here because he went about this in such a stupid way, you don't post help wanted ads and Wanted Posters on telephone poles anymore, that's what Twitter and Craigslist are for, but at the same time this is a tough break. I mean the guy's only trying to do right by his daughter, it's not like he actually shook on a contract or anything, just empty threats. There's probably 1 million death threats a day made online, shit is just common place, no one takes it seriously, but you put one little Wild West Poster up outside your house and all of a sudden there's a federal investigation.
PS: The "doing what was best for his daughter" is a hard claim after hearing he's also an admitted sex offender for hooking up with a chick he claims he thought was 18...that's the pot calling the kettle black here.
