A woman in Benton County hung a sign on a neighbor's door warning people that the man who lived there was a sex offender.

But there were two problems: she had the wrong house, and even if she had the right house, police say sex offender notifications can't be used to harass released convicts.

"Don't play here. Child molester lives here," the sign said, according to a police report....

Hansen told sheriff's investigators she'd been told by her daughter that a sex offender who moved to the neighborhood lived in the house.

9. non sequitur has no logical relation -here's the support;

these brownshirt, vigilante types will be breaking peoples windows and breaking windows of porn shops next.

I'm just having fun here, not proposing a thesis...:toast:

10. It isn't fun when both the offense that was mistakenly attributed to

the neighbor as well as the real krystal nacht are so deadly serious.

Even porn shops are levels above child molesters.

There's a real disconnect here, AFAIAC.

14. uh, the subject is misdirected vigilantism and its consequences

did someone say the Holocaust or pedophilia is okay here?

uh NO!!! So then, since vigilantism is associated with the ultimate taboo, then it is verboten to discuss vigilantism because the gravitational pull of pedophilia is just too great to break for mere analysis?

Slipped right off the Aristotelean square of opposition. Oops!

15. Oh, I see. The subject has been defined. To compare a Nazi

inspired night of terror against Jews to one woman misplacing a sign to point out a sex offender, child molester.

That isn't the topic, I reckon.

Whatever.

2. Next, she can tattoo "Idiot" on her forehead.

Don't play here. Stupid **** lives here.

6. Can we hang a sign on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that reads:

"Traitor(s)" ?

___
On this woman's error, for what it's worth, I personally don't think much of either trial by media or vigilante justice.

Just my 10-cents' worth.

8. She is going to be hearing some new words soon:

such as SLANDER and LAWSUIT. This woman is about to learn all about the legal system. What a jerk.
