I agree with you tidus5. If we sit back and don't care, issues like this will become normal. I seen it said that this is normal for a peddo to get a house next to a school - that is very much not the truth. There have been a few - but it is DEFINATLEY not normal. The lesson learned here should be by the judicial branch. The sentance should not of been just for ramsey county and st. paul - how ignorant is that?

I do belive the man should be let free - able to live out his days. He should be subject to random checks, and inspections by the police. Any other preventable measure should be taken as well; Not letting him live by the school and daycare would be one.

On the business side, I do agree that business should (and can) choose whom to serve. However, I see it to be "bad buisness" exiling a customer on these grounds. If we all shunned him, think he would strike again? What if we welcomed him, and flat out laid our cards on the table? I think people prefer it the second way. I mean put youself in his shoes. If you were exiled from all the stores in town, people threw eggs at your house and harassed the hell out of you - wouldn't that make any chance of "curing" or getting away from what they have done wrong. I never disbane hope for anyone - Its the worst judgment any man can make.
