When Licking County's zealous prosecutor took advantage of a quirk in a Licking County state legislator's badly written law to snare a 15-year-old girl as a sexual predator, (which I wrote about yesterday) I suspect he didn't know it would be a world event.
AP picked it up from the Advocate's report and it has been a subject of interest from New Jersey to Spokane, from Alabama to Canada, and recently it has jumped the ocean to England. Google News claims to have listed 223 news articles about this event as of this morning.
Only one reason for such widespread interest and that is the depths to which government - our local government - has sunk. We are an oddity in a world filled with bad governments.
Let us reflect on our world reputation when our county prosecutor, Ken Oswalt, and our state representative, Jay Hottinger, ask for re-election.

Amen Bruce!
ReplyDeleteMore American's are becoming aware of these types of 'sexual offenses' that are landing our youth and young couples of consenting relationships on the Sex Offender Registry!
This was NOT the intent of the sex offender registry and finally, America is GETTING IT!
America is finally seeing the Legislation brought forth by their state represenatives, their GOVERNMENT, all in the name of 'protecting' a child, when a VICTIM does not exist! When the victim is STATE made!
American's have been taken on a LONG ride and I think that 'ride' is coming a hault!
