America has gone insane....

... thanks in large part to the moral-liberal industries making a profit off of licentiousness and perversion. If the people of a community don't want dirty old men paying too much improper attention to their minor daughters (or sons) then they have a right to discourage their actions.

In a sane America (pre-ACLU, pre-Woodstock, pre-LP and pre-MTV) this elderly man would have been given the bum's rush to the nearest trainyard for a one-way ride out of town.

This is stupid. I have noticed (in channel surfing) ESPN broadcasts of cheerleading competitions.. The stage was teeming with young ladies jumping, dancing and generally 'shakin their booties' for a fairly large TV audience.

I guess the old 'pervert' isn't alone...
The cheerleaders all wear the flashy plastic smile, to go along with their skimpy outfits.
The 'dirty old man' committed the crime of looking at pretty, vivacious girls while being old.
It's bulls--t.

I fail to see how taking photographs at a public event can be restricted by the government.

I doubt that either the government, or the people, would have much of a legal case to prevent someone from taking a photograph of something at a public event that it is not illegal to look at with their own two eyes, or that would not raise an eyebrow if viewed on the 10 o'clock sportscast.

If the man does something illegal with the photographs or sells them for profit without permission in a manner likely to cause harm then they have a case. But the government cannot prosecute someone or prohibit them from doing something that is legal because of what they think he or she is thinking.

I'm surprised someone would actually want the government to be able to do that.

If the people don't want dirty old men paying too much attention to the daughters, then the daughters should stop dressing like streetwalkers.

Pro cheerleaders are one thing, high schoolers should be more chaste.

I beg to differ: In a sane culture, either: the jailbait females would be modestly dressed instead of nearly naked, or... the general society would recognize that people will look at what is on display and not get their panties in a twist.

In a sane America (pre-ACLU, pre-Woodstock, pre-LP and pre-MTV) this elderly man would have been given the bum's rush to the nearest trainyard for a one-way ride out of town.....yes, but ,in that sane America, women, ( including cheerleaders) did not dress so scantily as they do today!

What women of today need to learn, is that they cannot pick & choose who is looking or photographing them.

....many, many insane wierdo's are lurking in the background wishing to do them harm.

Are you advocating vigilanteism?
