[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A longtime public servant makes a dumb mistake over a minor matter and you want him fired? Yet try to screen out violent offenders from jobs or drug dealers from subsidized housing and the liberal lobby cries unfairness and discrimination.[/quote]

I agree the parking issue is a minor matter.  If he'd just left the note, it wouldn't have been a big deal.  But, how do you say stealing licenses plates on THREE different occasions is minor?  How was the nanny supposed to know that this wouldn't escalate to something horrific?  Imagine it was your wife, your DD, your mother?  Seeing someone on the street, not knowing if this were your stalker....what would he do next?  Then, there's the hassle and expense of replacing the plates.  Why should this creep be allowed to do this to you over such a small matter?  [b]What would he do when something big happened?[/b]

I wouldn't want this guy anywhere near me, my family or working for my government.  Clearly, if he gets out of control over something like this, he lacks the temperment to make impactful decisions.[/quote]

Agree. I think the detail that bugged me the most was the 47 MINUTES he spent on one of the thefts. This is a top ranking Pentagon official?!?! Hello, can you get back to your job of keeping us safe? I know that he was not on the front lines but seemed like he had a high level job in the Pentagon and I can't be the only one that was really angry about this detail. It shows the level of premeditation and frankly craziness. Who knows what this guy was capable of. The fact that he was staring at the house and drove by even after the arrest...I mean, this guy was the definition of creepy. He was targeting a person caring for a one-year old child. This is very concerning.

I do have empathy for him. I get the feeling of being pushed to the edge, feeling powerless or angry or whatever. We've all been there. Sometimes little injustices or perceptions of injustice can trigger things. I have myself getting outraged over small slights and I know something deeper is going on. But as adults we have to rise above that and not take it out on others so blatantly. This was harassment and I imagine the parents and nanny were really scared while this was going on.

I hope this incident was the tipping point he needed to start examining stuff in his own life and healing.
