At no place on the website in question do I see any indication that they solely and specifically deal with child sex predators. (Please point me to where you found this.) Further there is no mention of any offense against a minor anywhere in regards to the charges against Napoleon Murphy Brock that I could find. Further I still have no details as to when the charges stem from, who the victim(s) in the case were, if he went to trial or took a plea, etc. But he obviously isn't incarcerated at this time, as he just performed with The Grandmothers at Zappanale. So even if he is guilty, and he may be, it doesn't really matter as he has most likely paid his debt to society, and now gets to begin again.
Sorry, I know I'm supposed to engage in an involuntary programmed response, something along the lines of hatred, disgust, revulsion and murderous rage for the man. It's just not going to happen, perhaps I don't watch Nancy Grace and America's Most Wanted enough. Perhaps I just don't believe that any one thing is the entire summation of a human existence.
No one is expecting you to voice disgust, i've not seen anyone voice disgust yet. I've objectively shown what's on that site without giving any judgement or views of my own on it, i simply relayed information that was already widely available to anyone who wants to look.
I can't find the section that said the site specifically dealt with people who carry out offences against minors, so i'll withdraw that for now, but I did definitely see it in relation to that site and I believe the "Megan's Law" banner continually displayed at the top, is also in reference to this.
I'm surprised you think that the possibility of 2 counts of rape against a minor is nothing to worry about as he "has most likely paid is debt to society". Do you think that the victims feel great now that "society" has been repaid. Prison is a business like anything else and the only people who benefit from people being in jail are the investors who profit from prison. Still at least he gets his life back, the victims' lives will be ruined for good, but that's beside the point.
You seem to be going just a touch overboard in your analogies, i for one never watch television, so i'm unlikely to be swayed by nancy grace (whomever that is) or america's most wanted. Furthermore, I think in your assumption that anyone who assumes he's guilty is some sort of zealous lunatic with not enough imagination or guile to work things out for themselves is rather weird and just a touch insulting to anyone who has ever been effected by this sort of trauma, or anyone who has an ounce of intelligence.
Regardless of the supposed guilt or lack thereof, there's still the fact that 2 people (possibly minors) were raped by force and yet you're only concern is for the reputation of the accused, without the slightest concern for the victims. In fact, you've went as far as to suggest that it could be the result of any number of things except it being the truth.
Let's put something into perspective here. There is no chance of any allegation of rape getting anywhere near a court these days unless there is forensic evidence. So for that reason alone, I believe there must be at least some evidence because they would not put him on that site unless there was some. And in the possibility it has been a mistake, do you not think Napoleon Murphy Brock would be going out of his way to get his details taken off the site.....I don't believe for one minute that he won't know he's on the site, someone must have seen him on it. He'd be notified most likely that he's on it by the people that run it!
This is a government run database, it's not some angry parent's blog or some special interest group's site. And i find it hard to believe that anyone would be put on that site and kept there without a modicum of evidence. It would be a california lawyer's dream to have someone on that site who shouldn't be there, as they could sue the government for millions, especially someone who has had a long career in the entertainment industry and who could claim that it's had an effect on his livelihood.
So while i applaud your selfless vitrioling in defence of NMB, I don't agree with a single word of it for the qualitative reasons stated above. And furthermore, it's you and only you who is being melodramatic in relation to this topic.
