 Also let me note that we are only able to go off what SameCat has shared and what’s on the sex offender registry. We most certainly do not have the full story.

 I don't see much reason to question the story we have. It might not be true but reacting to it as it's presented to me is basically all the time it's worth in my view. There's no big picture impact.

Let me also clarify my statement on wanting to make the guy's life worse - it's fair to have some antipathy for perverts who gross you out, and more antipathy for neo Nazis, but there should also be respect for people's rights and antipathy for the state that files false charges regularly and puts people on a sex offender registry without protecting them from worse criminals

 I don’t think I sugar coated anything, nor did I dodge responsibility, nor did I say it was “ok.”  Quite the opposite. I hope that was clear.
