Thank you for your efforts.
Add the fact that a drug lab will ruin the walls and furniture in a room and will make the next renter ill, if they are allergic to the chemicals.
Not all sex is consenting, often the rapist of children will rent a room.
Are you watching FOX at the moment?
The mother is incredible.
Sort if, if I understood her right???
she seemed to say--hey--we're nonviolent, we accept people of all faiths etc. so we believe our son is caught up in some incredible mistake. We don't believe he's a terrorist at all!
Sounds to me like it was live and let live--whatever you believe is fine as long as you're sincere yadda yadda yadda.
Your take on it?
If you put one of those little plastic flags used at auto dealerships in front of the house of every registered sex offender in the area, you would swear a real estate developer had just opened a new tract of homes for sale.
My wife dispatched an officer with a warrant for a sex offender that had moved into a house adjacent to an elementary school. The officer knocked on the door and heard a muffled gunshot from basement. Upon entry to the premises, they found a back bedroom window with a clear view of the playground, binoculars and child porn on the walls. The person named in the warrant was dead of a self-inflicted gunshow wound.
The town is full of crummy old trailers that get turned into meth labs. Most are uninhabitable from the toxic chemicals left behind...if they don't explode first. The fire department uses them for "practice" fires, then the city clears the lot. The property owner is often left with a toxic chemical clean up responsibility before the property can be sold. It pays to screen your tenants.
For all that bad news, our town crime rates are VERY low compared to most cities. Violent crime is 44% of the national average. My old neighborhood in Mira Mesa, CA was 118% of national average. My parents home in Chula Vista, CA was rated 160%. Most of our criminal activity is property crime committed to finance drug habits.
