Here's something interesting happening in a community near me.

About 10 or so years ago, a town councilman and mayor hopeful was convicted of abusing a teenage boy. He had molested this boy from the time he was a young boy until he was in his late teens. The rapist is wealthy and had used his wealth to accomplish this. The kid's prients basically told him that as long as he isn't gay and doesn't like it that no harm was being done (parents of the year should have gone to jail too) and was receiving "funding" for this "convenience". It was done as payment for work or something so the parents were cleared. The boy went through a rebellious stage with his parents (didn't count on that I guess) and threw them all under the bus.

The rapist is and always has been a snob and looks down on everyone. Apparently he treated his employees like crap, especially if they were female. Before he went to jail, he had an EEO case being built against him by female employees. Not based on sexual harassment, but his treatment of them professionally.

Fast forward to the past few years. While he was in jail, a female friend and supporter married him. They never dated and her sexuality had always been in question, so the community was surprised at this. Apprently their families were friends. He gets out of jail, shunned by his wealthy family, but had enough money to buy an ice cream truck. The town went into uproar because he would be selling to children. He and his wife claim that it's their business but that he would never be on the truck. Apparently that is so because several community members have made it their mission to stalk the ice cream truck and he's never there. He did attempt to run for mayor again, but lost.

Recently, he came off probation. Apparently, the distance restriction has been lifted as well. (distance to minors) He now happily mans the freezer and window of his ice cream truck and sells ice cream to children.

The community is staging a protest because they were told that he is within his legal rights to sell ice cream to children. They're calling it the "Pedifile protest". Their slogan? "Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right".

My thoughts? The guy is an asshole but he paid his penalty within his legal sentence. Can he do it again? Probably and will he? Who knows? But I don't think stalking and harassing the guy is the way to go either.

What are your thoughts?

I believe in giving people a 2nd. chance but he will bear watching especially around children. I know that if he was around my kids, I probably would be super vigilant on how he acts around my kids and others. But that is just me. Would I trust him alone with kids, hell no!

It has been my experience that once one is a child molester then they are always a child molester.

He WILL revert back to his addiction. . . And his chosen profession was chosen due to it's high likelihood of presenting him with the opportunity to do just that.

Just my .02. . .

I believe you are correct! I have 0 use for those who abuse children

I agree. I would rather infringe upon him rather than the children.

I just heard someone on the radio refer to Bill Cosby as the OJ Simpson of Comedy....

This is just a sad story to hear about....the Cos has pretty much admitted to some serious wrong-doings....

All of the good things that this guy did and stood for.......is now all null and void....imo.

Oh good grief!  You should stop reading the crap you read, you can't sort it out anyway.

1)  Quaaludes are not like Roofies or other 'date rape' drugs. 

2)  Back in the day women loved them and considered them aphrodisiacs.

3)  The sexual climate was different back then - though when you get in the streets it hasn't change all that much, the girls still want drink and drugs for sex.  I personally think it's to avoid dealing with the puritanical concept of sex America drills into women versus their natural desires.  They can always blame their acceding to sex on something other than themselves.

4)  Even 'admitting' to acquiring quaaludes to give to a 'woman' or 'women' isn't "serious wrong-doing".  It's no different than buying women drinks to lower their inhibitions to having sex - or smoking pot with them etc., or lying to them about love and emotionally manipulating them.

5)  Taking quaaludes is an overt act.  One has to 'take' them, they don't just dissolve in liquid - see 1.

 Huh. Before I went to work for the feds, I was a medical secretary. Worked for the Chief of Medicine at Georgetown University and thought I'd heard everything but obviously not. Right now can't think of a thing to say, and it's almost midnight, so will sign off. Pleasant dreams, y'all.

Is it just me or are any of the rest of you getting worn out by stupidity?

Or am I just getting too old to put up with it?

Both.

Both.

Gee, thanks ...  you could have at least tried to comfort me and say something like 'No, Bo! You're way too young for that!'

But, Nooooooo .... you have to be all honest and everything.

No, Bo; you're way too young for that!     Now you kids get off of my lawn!   

[Exterminator]

This offends me; she should take it off at once!
