The Line

Apparently, in LA there is a blogger who writes in scary detail his thoughts on little girls - and promotes pedophilia as a life style choice and gives the pedophilia community a heads up on places and event where there will be children.

Horrifying? Yes. Illegal? Not really.

Law enforcement says they can't find any evidence that he has a criminal record or has committed a crime, yet. (Remember the study that came out just recently about the link between online consumption of child porn and hands on offenses?) But, what is a community to do?

I do believe that laws are a reflection of the community that enacts them - and thus you can create specific laws for specific situations. Also, I think that this blogger is taking his thoughts and activities to a public forum for the sake of terrorizing parents and freaking out the neighborhood and causing discontent and havoc. But, I also believe in first amendment rights. So, where is the line? Has "to catch a predator" become the modern day witch hunt? And, is that so bad?
