Hard to believe that our laws are so impotent to deal with somebody who is an obvious threat.

His next step is undoubtedly to say that he is not a pedophile at all, that he just wanted to see how everyone reacted, and then sue everyone.

a perv on Martha’s Vineyard got a steel pipe to the head, he’s alive but wont be bothering anyone again.

Of course it will, leftists, including leftist judges, don’t see anything wrong with pedophilia.

[BKerr]

I know that I will somehow get accused of being a pedophile lover, but we are a free society. Unless he acts on his words, then he has the right to claim to be anything he wants. In fact, he should sue for being constantly “monitored” by law enforcement. If I claim to be a black hater, yet I don’t act upon hurting a black person, then I have committed no crime and should not face harassment for my speech.

[Petronski]

I expect someone with a short temper is going to resort to an “extra-legal” solution to this problem (a la Dahmer).

Thank the ACLU for that.

good grief....everyone wants to have this idiots’ head and he hasn’t done a thing illegally. This fool sounds to me like Mark Carr the Jon Benet kook and I think he is just an attention seeker and probably harmless. I certainly don’t see how a judge can issue a restraining order against him when he hasn’t molested any more children than you or I have.....and I haven’t molested any!!!

You threaten my wife or kids, I don't care what you "haven't" done. You will be bleeding and reconsidering your words! Free speech has consequences.

[hatfieldmccoy]

Got witness here. You just call 911 to clean up the mess

[Farmer Dean]

What is that thing?

[sionnsar]

Got a link to that?

[tired1]

no sorry. i used to live there. it’s just a story the locals know about and they dont want any publicity.

[Dad x 3]

Never seen one, but I suspect it would prety well inhibit tumescence. Yikes!

Not if you have good aim.

“everyone wants to have this idiots’ head and he hasn’t done a thing illegally.”

I understand your point but since when does legality have anything to do with it? It’s not illegal to cheat on your girlfriend. I don’t recommend it, though. She might “want your head”. ;)

Some of societies rules are not made into law yet we still strictly adhere to them, like cheating on your girl/boyfriend. Sure, people do cheat but nobody feels sorry for the cheater when something bad happens to him as a result. It is not a stretch for some folks to expect some sort of punishment on those who break them.
