It really would be interesting to know how much of the “material” he was charged for was actual abuse or teens making videos of themselves. Was his reasoning behind taking such drastic measures simply because he got caught looking at something? Or was he implicated in the production of said material? Beings lawmakers refuse to acknowledge the sexual curiosities of anyone without the legal ability to consent, lawmakers view every single sexual event as now criminal in nature with the sole explicit intent of just destroying someone because they viewed such activity. Laws need reviewed and context provided for all charges. Sex isn’t going to end. It’s time for a rational approach to the issue.

Another senseless loss of life. A dedicated civil servant that felt his life was over. The city didn’t even feel the need to say anything positive about him , probably out of fear of looking like they actually supported him in this time of personal crisis. He would have had more support if he had been found to be a murderer or drug dealer. Or even a drunk driver that took a life. His picture will likely be removed from his fire company wall and he won’t receive the funeral service he deserves after 25 yrs of saving buildings and rescuing people and pets. Well I for one will salute you Jarrett for your honorable public service. 🫡👨🏼‍🚒
