    Dude is a sex offender with a loophole that allows him to be near a school and he can set up the “free fentanyl” sign because he doesn’t actually have the drugs on him.

    In a decent society, you’d take a man like this out behind the woodshed and put the fear of God in him, but this is a “progressive” state.

    Okay, you know what? Despite this dude following the law, quite literally being a law-abiding citizen, I’ll allow it under one condition:

    Conservatives as a party also take out the entire America First caucus and put the fear of God into every one of them. And by “fear of God”, I mean you beat into them the value of pluralism and deliberative democracy until they’re the most rational in Congress.

    Because if we’re just going to beat conformity into people despite them being lawful citizens, then your mainstream extremists need to be put into their place.

      Just in case you didn’t quite understand, you don’t end up on the sex offenders list by being a lawful citizen. The opposite, actually

        In case you didn’t quite understand, the recognition of the crime done previously is being in the sex offenders list. Unless he’s committing more crime, which is clearly not the case, then he is a law-abiding citizen.

        The premise is that it is selective. Only the most ridiculous stories, the kind youd expect in satire, like Babylon Bee

          You understand you have just said the the article you posted is disingenuous. Because the article your " news" site uses both says he was removed and was arrested ( was released on medical though)
