“This was in a state park, you be the judge. From what I understand there are many pre-aranged places for these pervert homo’s to congregate for sex with strangers.”

Hmmm, I wonder if the former guv of New Jersey was rolling in the bushes. You know the guy, the Gay-American.

Methinks someone is about to get a new nickname.

Out of 8 arrests, 3 were teachers. That comes to 37.5%... Frightening.

Out of 8 arrests, 8 were men. That comes to 100.0%... Hmmm.

Short piece from the Statesman Journal, Salem.

Professor placed on leave after arrest

May 18, 2007

John Backus, an assistant professor of speech and communication at Western Oregon University, was placed on administrative leave Thursday, school officials said.

Backus, 46, of Monmouth was arrested on public indecency charges Sunday as part of an undercover sting by the Polk County Sheriff's Office targeting illegal sexual activity at Holman Wayside State Park.

Not much detail in the article.

That's my biggest concern. What are they hiding? I doubt that they don't know what the sting was all about. And since it's a "sting", doesn't that mean that the police were involved in setting this thing up? That makes me think that it's prostitution or something. Maybe gay, maybe not...

I just can’t afford to trust my child’s life and wellbeing to a system that appears unable or unwilling to police itself, either in terms of education or in terms such as involved in this case.

Bingo.

Maybe it’s why some refer to “it” as a MENTAL disease!

Actualy, these guys are sex addicts. They would have sex with a woman or animal as well, it doesn’t matter to them, sex is sex. This prearranged meeting place is just convenient for them, no hassle, no dinner bills or hotel room cost.

The park involved here is officially Holman Wayside, but is well-known locally as “Pervert Park”. While there is occasionally a female prostitute and male john caught there, most of the arrests are of homosexuals. Lots of exposing of selves in the bathroom, and there are places up in the hills above the parking lot in the trees that get frequented.

And I mean frequented. Us locals know better than to stop in at this park for any reason, day or night. The Polk County Sheriff does a sting operation a few times a year, the deputies routinely patrol it, but the perverts keep coming (no pun intended).

And it’s not like this place is out in BFE. It’s just a couple of feet of a major highway - basically a parking lot, a bathroom, and a couple acres of trees right by the 4-lane road.

Reminds me of the elementary school teacher, Selena, in “American Gothic”.

Yeah, you ever wonder why there are no lesbian park sex stings? People like to pretend it’s the depravity of gay men that leads to this sort of thing. They overlook the fact that straight men would also love to have free, anonymous sex in parks - if women were eager to do so as well.

Unfortunately for the guys, we’re not.

Hey, they need to lobby for that DemonRATS nutcase who wants hookers to be able to teach and then claim they were hooking. Problem solved.
