Maybe if we learned how to spell Pedophiles (pedofiles??) we might understand the importance of all aspects of law enforcement. Just a suggestion, but then again, I'm pretty confident in my understanding of the law and why/how the PD does their job.

I wasn't sure how to spell pedofile/pedophile so I spelled it the way the previous poster spelled it. It's not a word I ever use in my day to day life. Your posting is absurd. Understanding how to spell will not make us understand Chief Murray and why he operates our Police Dept the way he does. If he's so concerned about our youth he needs to quit harrassing them.

"He" needs to stop harassing them. Last time I checked, people were responsible for their own actions. Perhaps he placed the beer can in their hands. Perhaps he took them to the golf cart and made them steal it. Perhaps he took them into Kroger, or maybe Walmart, and told them that stealing was all right. Perhaps he caused all of the crimes that the youth have committed. Yes, "He" definitely needs to stop harassing them and maybe we'll be crime free. Novel thought. I like it (absurd!).

Well, there are pedophiles already living in PTC, JD. Check out the Georgia sex offender online database. It's not like the police are inviting pedophiles to a spotless city. And before someone gets upset, I'm not trying to say anything bad about PTC.
EVERY city has pedophiles, but much of the time nobody knows who they are because they do their dirty work in secret. As that article points out, they come from all walks of life.

I did read the AJC article and was intrigued by the fact that the officer visits an adult Web site, not a teen chat site, to catch these guys. You'd think by now that the creeps who go there would have figured out that someone is onto them.

Luckily there is only 6 of them:

True, that's only six...that are officially registered. But I am willing to bet there are many more that just haven't been caught yet.

Does anyone else find it chilling that so many of these guys have "absconded", never to be seen again? Who knows where they will turn up next and start again? These guys are never cured.

Years ago when I was single, I met a guy at church who charmed us all. Eventually, he told me he'd been in jail in Florida for molesting his step-daughter. He was divorced. I almost jumped out of my skin. A year later, I heard he was remarried...to a woman who had kids. Why are people so stupid?!

We may not have many, but at least the ones we have here have that bling bling thing going.

Yo, bro, what it is?

Yes they are and what the police are doing is fine with me. Either catch these guys and put them away or scare them away from PTC. Either is OK with me.

I do think some of the punishment is insufficient from what I read in the commie paper Sunday AM.
