ORIGINAL POST, APRIL 27, 2010, 10:17 A.M.: You are 46 years old, and you have been convicted NINE TIMES!!! previously for sex offenses. And yet, you are on the outside long enough to–according to Johnny Law–be found with hundreds of thousands of
pornographic pictures and videos of children, as well as books and
magazines on torture, rape and murder of children and, to lure the little ones, Chuck E. Cheese tokens, which you can distribute freely thanks to your job installing portable toilets at parks and venues where children
congregate. And there's several different library cards in your wallet.
Pardon my French, but how the fuck does this shit happen? From the Orange County district attorney's office (OCDA):
