U.S. Senator Charles Schumer has been working overtime to keep the good citizens of New York safe this week. On Saturday, he made an appearance in Kingston to warn his constituents of the dangers of cancer-causing sunscreen. (Oddly, in the video taken by the Daily Freeman, the press conference is set in the blazing sun, probably forcing some onlookers to don exactly the substance that was being decried.)
Today, Schumer has switched to warning the public about sex offenders, who apparently benefit from "dangerous loopholes" in state and local laws that allow them to volunteer as coaches or karate instructors. Not for long, if Schumer has his way, according to the Daily Mail:
"Convicted sex offenders should not be able to hold any job or volunteer position where they have interaction with children in New York or across the country, period,” Schumer said. “The fact that these sex offenders are able to coach our children’s teams, operate rides at fairs, and teach them dance and music is beyond scary and we must take immediate action to stop it."
What's next on Schumer's hit list -- Hitler, perhaps?
