I don’t see anyone crucifying the guy? More trying to understand the why’s of what he did? You know the guy personally and that gives you insight that someone that is a complete stranger wouldn't have. IF you didn't know him and he materialized out of the bush at your campsite when you had your KIDS with you, are you telling me you wouldn't have the least bit of concern about his possibly being a danger to your kids? I don’t believe a good Father like you . . . .

First off, I don't know him personally.  My family has had multiple interactions with him in Ely this summer so this is my source.  He's been in town all summer and has been harmless - never threatening or intimidating - the police and everyone else knew/know this. 

Secondly, personal concern?  Not really.  We're used to homeless strangers in our house all the time.  Living between 3 reservations gives us plenty of opportunity to 'love our neighbor'.  Look, I get what you're saying but like Aaron, you are making assumptions about me too.  Not all of us share your level of human anthropology.  While you demand your 'right to know' I could not care less of the why. 

We're all beggars helping other beggars find food on this planet.  Life is hard enough.

Good father?  Hardly.  I haven't done a single good thing my entire life.
