Pedophile can't be punished for thoughts

Here is one that the 'antis' should pay attention to. I think the US courts is trying to tell them something.

A convicted child sex offender can't be banned from city parks because he thought about having sexual contact with children, a U.S. appeals court ruled. The sex offender told his psychologist and self-help group that he had fantasies about children he observed playing at a city park in 2000 in Lafayette, Indiana. After his former probation officer was alerted, Lafayette officials banned the man from entering any city park, which includes the zoo and the golf course. The man, identified in court proceedings as John Doe, sued, and U.S. District Judge Allen Sharp ruled in favor of the city. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed in a 2-1 decision today, saying that while it finds Doe's fantasies ``deplorable,'' a government cannot punish someone for what he thinks. ``The idea that you could be punished for your thoughts seems to run really far from our view of our protected rights under the First Amendment,'' said Ken Falk, legal director of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union, who represented Doe.

Yeah to the Indiana Civil Liberties Union! At least someone is sticking up for people's freedom and the rampant mommyism that is ruining our legal system. You can't punish or convict someone on what they think. If that was the case there would be numerous anti's in jail for wanting to kill pedophiles.

And this is part of the difference between a child molester and a pedophile or a rapist and a male. Being attracted (while distasteful to some) to minor is not a crime. Fantasizing about minors is not a crime. Acting on those desires would be a crime.

I'm glad justice was served and I hope he has many pleasant days in the park not molesting anyone.

I would hope the dim-witted psychologist and probation officer would be punished.
