Txrangerette, this is a follow up to your #558 to me, and my response to you in 608. You asked me, "Why are you accusing FReepers of wanting him held on nothing and of ignoring the Constitution?" Not all FReepers, certainly, but a surprising number of them who are posting on the JBR threads. Following are two more examples of people who express exactly that to go along with the prior example I sent you in #608.

stultorum in 622: "Anyway, this JMK character is a very sick dude and should be locked up."

Dianna in post #651: "But it sure would be nice to find something to lock this guy up for. He's just darn creepy."

I am not defending Karr or his behavior, but observing that we don't lock people up in this country because they are "sick" and "creepy." We don't toss away our Constitutional protections because some DA in Colorado is an incompetent boob, and the news media can't restrain themselves long enough for cases like this to sort themselves out.

I absolutely agree!

Here is my statement (that you quoted): "But it sure would be nice to find something to lock this guy up for. He's just darn creepy."

Did I say lock him up JUST BECAUSE I don't like him? No. We've got his DNA, we know he's weird, we know where he has lived, we know places that he has worked. Run the DNA through databases, look into unsolved cases and maybe we'll find that he's progressed beyond pictures.
