- He is a male
- He had a job
- And he has never been arrested before
Hmmm.. Well lets see, that is like the characteristics of most people. Should it not be mandatory that they follow some type of guide lines before just arresting these men? They are not paying any attention at all to their list of characteristics. How is this fair? Oh I know, my BF has magical powers and is able to hide all of this predator characteristics He is amazingly able to fool everyone around him. Oh ya, and he was told because he did not have a Facebook account that was suspicious. Because everyone has a Facebook. Well I can name at least 10 people who I know closely who do not have a Facebook profile. Should they go to jail? But the other major things going on in his personal life are not relevant. Like working all day and taking care of family business at night. Like dealing with other life issues. UNREAL.
