In this sequence a Barnes and Noble customer is pursued through the store after multiple demands that Operation Rescue participant Scott Heldreth stop. We also witnessed numerous OR participants inserting their literature into books and reshelving them.

It appears to be true!

One protestor being a registered sex offender does not in any way act as an indictment of all the protestors, if that was your intent by posting this. If criticism of the Terry Schiavo protestors was not your intent in posting this, what was?

Hell, the US government employs ~3 million people around the country. I am sure there are a few registered sex offenders among that group. Would that knowledge make you question the validity of what the US government does?

Take a bite at this:

This is the father who pretty much let his kid go be arrested by the cop bringing Terri a glass of water. So why didn't he just do it himself?

If I were a registered sex offender, I hell as wouldn't want to be arrested. So I guess I would send my kid to do the job for me.

What I want to know is why the media is silent on this. Remember the media putting up those pictures of the kids being arrested? By golly! Those evil cops are arresting children trying to help save a life! Do they have anything better to do?!

The media forgot to mention that the father is a registered sex offender. So the purpose of this thread is to raise awareness in general. I don't like it when the corporate media selectively tells the facts for whatever agenda suits them best.

This fact doesn't really have an impact on any of the issues raised, nor is it such an interesting bit of information that people in general would want to know, so I don't see why the media would be reporting it.

Kids get arrested for trying to bring a woman water = news.

Man's sex-offender status same as it has been for the past several years = not news.

You're mistaking mudslinging for legitimate information. The only interesting bit of this story is: Why would CPS allow a convicted child-rapist custody of his children?

Well, this changes everything.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure it isn't the threads they hate.

Very interesting and sad; thanks, macintologist.
RAILHead, you're an asshole. What about this thread required you to crap all over it? You don't like it, leave it alone.

Go to the Maryland sex offender registry and you will be astonished how many offenders, and violent one's at that, are employed at State Universities and Community Colleges.
