From the article:
"The website features pictures of people entering and leaving sexually-oriented businesses...At the core of the group are victims of sexual assault who say adult businesses foster violence against women...But here is an interesting note about this group: John Reneer has been convicted of murder and sodomy. He says he started War-Line to shine a light on the problem of violence against women."
The site's members take pictures of people frequenting strip clubs and porn shops. Apparently, the site's founder is a convicted murderer and sex offender. Odd?
Take a look at the site at http://www.war-line.com/.

Stranger still, I bet, is the ratio of women to men who patronize the shops. Last time I checked, a woman buying a dildo isn't contributing to violence against women.

Here's an example of someone who has gone from one extreme to the other. He's now a vigilante with "anti" tendencies.,
The women who have been victims of sexual assault and who make up the core of this group aren't very afraid of Mr. Reneer, it seems, but the listed crimes of murder and sodomy don't clarify whether his victims were male or female.
This situation might even turn some people off to the idea of having a registry listing of any kind of offender on the Internet. Your average "adult porno lover" in this neighborhood is now another group that's "marked" by do-gooders gone wild.
When a man can't restock his edible panties supply in the comfort and solace of his own neighborhood porno store, then freedom is gone with the wind. (sarcasm off)

It would be interesting to know how that group treats the women clientele of those shops. I can't find anything on their site about that.
