The accused (Michael Robertson) is a pervert, and he’s pathetic, but he did not violate the letter of the law. The court made the right decision. I’d like to think that this loser would be embarrassed by the whole process, but he might be proud of having gotten away with it. I am not sure of the solution, but this is (at least for now) not a problem that government can solve.
You must be kidding.
“I am not sure of the solution, but this is (at least for now) not a problem that government can solve.”
In better days the cure would have been a knuckle sandwich or a night stick over the head.
I’m with you on this one, the guy’s a creep no doubt about it but he didn’t break the law. I thought we here in FreeRepublic believed in the strict interpretation of the law. It’s not Massachusetts’ fault, it’s not the judges’ fault it’s the fault of the lawmakers who drew up sloppy legislation.
The solution is simple, amend the legislation to cover this activity. In the meantime the courts will, rightly, uphold the law as written.
