John Mark Karr: Republican for Congress?
John Mark Karr (who falsely confessed to killing Jon Benet Ramsey) is set to be released from custody today after having charges for owning child pornography dropped due to lack of evidence. Which makes him a top notch candidate to move to Florida and run to replace Mark Foley in the House of Reprehensables...
On a serious note though, one must wonder what society can do to protect itself from people who can not be proven to have committed a crime, but are obviously dangerous none the less. I mean who among us with small children in our families would feel comfortable with John Mark Karr living in our neighborhood? It is perfectly clear that he represents a danger but apparently there will be no way for society as a whole to protect ourselves from him.
If in the future Karr winds up convicted of molesting children, or (if possible) even worse... who will answer for that?
