Ugh really? Craigslist is notorious enough already. Now it was used to help setup a sting operation. More baffling is why the San Luis Obispo police were dealing with the tip if the poster lived in Arizona. Weird story all around.

The day is coming, possibly already here when reporting anybody even suspected of being registered or a sex offender give one a sense of community pride, almost national pride…somewhat similar to the mid to late 1930’s in Germany…let’s report our good neighbors, the Jews!

Even though they are deceptively using an RSO as their posterboy for this, they are asking for others to report suspicious activity that they suspect is a sex crime, which 19 out of 20 times will be committed by a non-registrant. This doesn’t sound like a bad thing except that using the term ‘sex offender’ implies this is about registered sex offenders, when 95% of the time it is not.
