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.

Yes. Not in those exact words, but yes. That is what you said.

WE don't have anything. Law enforcement authorities have his DNA and the rest. As for his being weird, millions of people in this world are weird. There are people on these JBR threads who have followed the case as closely, if not more so, that Karr. But, of course, you have not seen them personally and so can't form a judgement as to where they fall on the weirdness scale.

Run the DNA through databases, look into unsolved cases and maybe we'll find that he's progressed beyond pictures.

Within legal limits, I have no doubt law enforcement authorities have done this. But there is a limit to how far the government can go to harass someone against whom there is zero evidence of his having committed any felonious crime.

Karr will come back to my home state of California to face his five MISDEMEANOR charges of possession of child porn, plus whatever additional charges are added because he skipped. Beyond that, we should all leave this pathetic loser alone and let him slip back into anonymity.
