I don't really know how to feel about some of this.  I understand
anger at sex offenders and resentment, and fear, etc. but I also don't
know what the answer is.  If everyone is allowed to drive out the sex
offenders then where do they go?  Do we have an area that sex
offenders live in? That seems insane, but some of these people who are
"not going to tolerate" the sex offenders in their neighborhood don't
have any answers.  They seem to say "not in my backyard" but if not in
theirs, where?  The next place the sex offender moves the neighbors
will say the same thing.  I'm not defending the sex offenders, but I
just don't see any easy answers to the problems brought up in the CH
News article.
