Where not to get your bike fixed.

I don't approve of telling people that they can not make themselves better by having a job. And, I wouldn't think to point to anyone and say that they shouldn't be allowed to own their own business.

But I damn well am willing to point to someone and inform people that they should avoid that business like the plague.

54-year-old Harry Garrett is a registered sexual offender. He is classified as a "predatory sex offender" which is defined as the following by Oregon's sexual offender website:

What does “Predatory Sex Offender” mean?
Oregon law defines it as an individual who exhibits characteristics showing a tendency to victimize or injure others and who has been convicted of certain sex crimes. Offenders are assessed on an individual basis to determine whether they will be designated predatory. The “predatory” designation allows law enforcement, or the supervising agency, to notify the community about a particular sex offender.


Garrett, after being convicted for sex abuse and sodomy involving children in 2000, doesn't seem to understand why some people might raise an eyebrow or two at his new business venture. But, I'm thinking you might be able to:

A predatory sex offender on Friday defended his decision to open a bicycle repair shop in downtown Oregon City, saying he has served his time, has grown and changed and deserves a chance.

"If a person buckles down, holds the same job, straightens their lives out, becomes that 'citizen of society,' OK, then they should be allowed to do that," said 54-year-old Harry Garrett.

He spoke out after police in Oregon City on Wednesday sent out a sex offender notice to the public after Garrett applied for a business license for his bike shop, which is located kitty-corner from the Clackamas County courthouse.


Yeah.. that's the guy you want working on your kids bike. Likely providing him with your phone number/ address so he can contact you when it's finished.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
