LA parents upset at self-described pedophile's blog

[Perry White]

Scary stuff, here: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/28/us/28pedophile.html?ref=us&pagewanted=all

Unlike convicted sex offenders, who are required to stay away from places that cater to children, in this case the police can do next to nothing, because this man, Jack McClellan, who has had Web sites detailing how and where he likes to troll for children, appears to be doing nothing illegal.
...
He moved to Los Angeles, where he was born, to try to live a Southern California version of his former life. The climate was one draw, said Mr. McClellan in an interview near this reporter’s office last week. But also “there are so many world-class children’s attractions here, Disneyland, festivals and whatnot.”

Mr. McClellan has refrained from posting pictures of children on his Web site, which was shut down by its host several weeks ago but which he intends to start again, he said, with a Dutch host. On the site, he has described fairs, festivals and other spots that he hits at least three days a week, all to the fury of parents.

That is disturbing, as is the ad on this page: "Fun Quiz for Fun Moms"

 

[TyWebb]

It's surprising he doesn't get his ass kicked more. He deserves a beating everytime he goes "trolling."

And what is that **** about his income? I'm assuming its either unemployment or welfare, which speaks a lot about those two services.

 

[Lester Bangs]

It will be a damn shame when somebody kills this guy and the cops have better things to do than attempt to solve the case.

 

[markvid]

I don't mind the fact that he's now revealed where and when to find him.

 

[heyabbott]

Thank god and the ACLU we live in a country where pedophiles can live openly and actively, without government restriction or hindrance, and write openly of his desires and his stalking ability. If a few little children get raped or molested or even killed along the way, well, it's the price for freedom.

WTF are you talking about?

It was a particularly well-done piece of sarcasm, Lester.

But it did lack the standard blue font.

 

[Unibomber]

Given I am in a sour mood (see my recent topic post amd find out why), I just say this group should find him and make sure (wink-wink) he decides to leave town. Or, better yet, perhaps this group could ensure that his suffers a horrible "accident" and dies.

Well, I got that much ... and maybe my knowledge of the ACLU is a bit thin, but when did they jump in the sack with NAMBLA?

The ACLU was good in the beginning, but they went too far.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
The fact that the ACLU can't distinguish between pedophiles and communists makes them a scary organization.

NEW YORK--In the United States Supreme Court over the past few years, the American Civil Liberties Union has taken the side of a fundamentalist Christian church, a Santerian church, and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. In celebrated cases, the ACLU has stood up for everyone from Oliver North to the National Socialist Party. In spite of all that, the ACLU has never advocated Christianity, ritual animal sacrifice, trading arms for hostages or genocide. In representing NAMBLA today, our Massachusetts affiliate does not advocate sexual relationships between adults and children.

What the ACLU does advocate is robust freedom of speech for everyone. The lawsuit involved here, were it to succeed, would strike at the heart of freedom of speech. The case is based on a shocking murder. But the lawsuit says the crime is the responsibility not of those who committed the murder, but of someone who posted vile material on the Internet. The principle is as simple as it is central to true freedom of speech: those who do wrong are responsible for what they do; those who speak about it are not.

It is easy to defend freedom of speech when the message is something many people find at least reasonable. But the defense of freedom of speech is most critical when the message is one most people find repulsive. That was true when the Nazis marched in Skokie. It remains true today.

Yeah, I'm well aware of the ACLU's overreaching ... was not aware they spoke up for NAMBLA. Yikes.

 

[Starman]

The best solution for the Nazis in Skokie is the same as the best solution for NAMBLA: A bullet in the head.

 

[heyabbott]

ACLU will support the right to advocate the abolition of the 13th & 14th Amendment, they will support advocacy for the Nazi Final Solution to the Jewish Problem and the ACLU will support the advocacy of Sexual Child Abuse, but the ACLU doesn't provide legal defense when one acts in self-defense against their positions.
In other words, the ACLU will spend millions of dollars to help child abusers, but not a nickel in either the prosecution of child abusers or in the defense of the those that fight child abusers.

 

[markvid]

Bill O'Reilly's hatred of the ACLU is the only thing of his I'll agree with.

UPDATE: He was arrested twice while at UCLA
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/15/us/15pedophile.html?ref=us

The man, Jack McClellan, was first detained by campus police Monday afternoon when he was spotted with a camera outside Franz Hall, which houses a small child-care program for children ages 3 months to 3 years that is run by the university’s psychology department.

Mr. McClellan, who has no known permanent address and appears to live out of his car, was charged with violating a restraining order banning him from coming closer than 10 yards to any minor in California.

He was then issued an order that prohibited him from stepping onto the campus for the next week, and released on his own recognizance following a consultation with the State Superior Court judge who issued the restraining order, on Aug. 3.

Later Monday, campus police saw a television news program in which Mr. McClellan was being interviewed live in a university parking lot, and they arrested him again, for violating the order barring him from campus.

It was a particularly well-done piece of sarcasm, Lester.

It reminds me:

Do you understand that the world does not revolve around you and your do whatever it takes, ruin as many people's lives, so long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way?

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Any time a convicted child molester winds up dead, I fully support the "Stop Snitchin'" ethos.

Is it hypocritical? Yep. But I don't care.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Gee, this is a fun afternoon here in the I don't give a **** about the Bill of Rights club. Proof positive that we don't mean what we say. (And no, speech is not action, so please spare me the "defending child molesters" fakeout.)
Even Ollie North and Rush Limbaugh found the ACLU useful.
