You can never fully run away from your past.
They must be comparatively worse than the one he talks about.
“Having a previous conviction for a sex assault doesn’t prevent a person from running for the school board, Delta County Clerk Ann Eddins said.”
It damn better.
People are voting for him because we would be safer if ALL politicians wore ankle bracelets.
Also have to wonder how many of the "institutions" were of a correctional nature; how many were of a mental nature; and what the others were.
Dale admitted he was convicted of sexual assault in 1987 against a developmentally challenged woman in a group home in Iowa. He only touched the woman inappropriately, Haag said, but he went to prison for three years and after getting out had to register as a sex offender because he was on parole from a previous conviction.
That previous conviction, Haag revealed today, was for one count of first-degree manslaughter in 1977 for which he served nine years in prison. The conviction stemmed from the deaths of two women during a fire in a halfway house in Sioux Falls, S.D. where Haag was a resident.
Haag readily admits he started the fire, but said he didn’t mean to harm anyone. He said he was 17 years old and angry at the world so he decided to set a couch in the facility on fire.
You’d think they have other candidates other than some guy like this. People can and do reform though. I think he’d have to be leading a pretty outstanding life currently to get elected.
