JOHN KARR UPDATE: cleared of all charges

[j]

All pedophiles and child molesters should be locked up forever and throw away the key. I think it is preposterous that I have to live near any kind of sex offender. If they have a record, they should NOT be on the street!

I second that (along with castration).

[GalvestonDuck]

You know, I might have been a little harsh when I said "hang em", but I would have no problem with castration for every sex offender (in addition to their jail time).

Not to argue with ya, J. But you're gonna have to slice off more than that to really punish them. After all, many of them use their fingers to snap pornographic pictures (sometimes greed is more of a motivating factor for pornographers than sick lust). Far too many of them use their fingers to chat online so they can groom and weed out vulnerable underage victims before they engage in any physical act against the child. And then I don't think I have to go into details about my final reason why they should be cut off. Those of us who are old enough understand and those who are too young will understand when they need to.

I like a good argument, just ask my wife.

You make a good point. Hang 'em.

was abc the one that drove him to the school? for the interview? the bottom line is there is 1 person to blame for mr karr being in the united states. the colorado prosecutor

Do you even read the articles that you link?

Probably not. lol.

perhaps yall failed to read the drudge report article i posted.

"employees told police the limo carrying Karr and two producers for ABC's "Good Morning America," stopped near the school. Karr got out, strolled the sidewalk and approached the school's door."

again, were the abc producers the ones who drove him to the school for the interview because he once worked there?

[Lindaloo]

Perhaps y'all didn't fail to read it. I did and I thought you contradicted yourself. Then you come up with that above.

[GalvestonDuck]

Sounds to me like they drove NEAR the school. He got out and took off towards the school.

As for who drove -- show me a network producer who drives a limo.

Are you placing blame on ABC for his weird behavior?

[Lindaloo]

Good point Duckie. Sounds like she is.

[Stratosphere747]

I think the DA was driving....

[Lindaloo]

LOL Strat!

On that part i highlighted im gonna have to agree with u

*snicker* Well, obviously he didn't drive. I was just pointing out that there's almost no way one of the producers was driving. That's the point of a limo. You *ride* in one. Besides, doesn't the driver have to have a special license?

If they'd wanted to exploit his behavior, they wouldn't have dropped the interview. I simply don't think they would have had an audience anyway. No one wants to look at that creep, much less hear what he has to say.

[rainstorm]

the producers may not have been driving but my guess is they wanted to drive him to the school to ask him questions about his employment there, and they stopped to let the cameras get pics of the school as he talked. as far as dropping the interview, once the cops got involved i doubt they had much choice. sadly, my guess is the interview would have gotten big ratings

[GalvestonDuck]

Based on the replies in this thread, I think hardly anyone here would want to watch at all, so IMO the ratings would have been poor.

And when you look at the numerous posts we have about shows like Lost, Desperate Housewives, 24, and Grey's Anatomy, I think we tend to flow with the general TV audience in regards to what's popular and what isn't.
