Wife had best idea for Gareth. Tie Gareth and his crew up - good. Leave them with Bob. Bob turns and actually gets the best revenge. I haven't lost sight that the wife came up with this - but I don't plan on pissing her off (ever).

Question (that I am not going to spend time looking for the answer for) - How is a convicted child sex offender NOT prohibited from having contact with children, especially any children in family of the child that he was convicted of molesting initially?

Thanks for the perspective. As a father of boys and girls ... it was a good (if a bit tough read).

You've missed the point my boy. But then again... that was where we started.

How many kegels do you need to do to get that kind of control? Can you do it with a butt?

You have a high snark quotient. Not so much for understanding that a concurrence from 1994 can become the skeletal basis for a majority 20 years later. I wonder if you can find the case I'm referring to where a 20 year-old concurrence was prescient to a majority opinion. I will give you a hint. The majority was not…

It was not a cite to a concurrence as law. It was to suggest that you read it. I'll presume you haven't. It was to indicate to you where the conservatives are going (the Court is much different now) and ultimately where the law will be based on the current make up of the court. I did not respond begin a fight with a…

Well you need to read Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825 (1994), especially Justice Thomas' concurrence. You simply do not understand how minimum the protections are that are 'provided' by the Constitution. The Federal Bureau of Prisons provides a greater level of protection than that required by the Constitution. So…

Ummm - check your number two. There are SO MANY 'private prisons' that it is a boom industry. They may 'contract' with federal, state and local authorities, but they are nonetheless private (with many not being subject to the same guidelines as their public counterparts).

Yea - definitely feel you on that one.

I agree with you point, however, if you're feeling the need to snoop - there are already serious problems between the two of you. The question is whether the problem is you, them or both of you.

Let me guess - porn that you didn't even know existed (or at least you were totally unprepared to find on your roommate's PC).

Yea that's one hard pill to swallow. I've been there. Try not to internalize it. Recognize the clues that tipped you off so that you can avoid a repeat.

Doug:

But his admission that he knowingly had sex with his congregants while not disclosing his status is problematic.

There is a concept in the law referred to as a Bailee/Bailor relationship. I invite you to look into that concept.

How did I miss this post (well because I'm paid to do other things than follow fun writing - a shame). I understand. I did the same thing years ago. From late afternoon into evening. Your concern about traffic, right on point. But I ended up dealing with a permanent chicane of pedestrians. I could not make your 0.04…

Really?

Love to Lehto's take and hopefully he'll help the guy out. But you're right - the Bailee appears to be on the hook as there is a reference to the cars' keys also missing.

I'd rather it was Mini-Zs than slot cars.
