What's Worse, the Kid Who Does This Without a Second Thought? or The "Jury of Our Peers" That Think it's No Big Deal"?

 Cont. from facebook......

Thinking it is a great deterrent for others who don't have the sense to know it is (in my universe) unacceptable for anyone to expose themselves to another person, at any age, when it is not consensual.  What is frightening is the comments by grown adults of both sexes who say "lighten up", "what's the big deal", "what a waste of time", maybe they all need a tour of a sex offender caseload from any given court.  Or a trip to any counselor's office, or rehab full of victims of sexual misconduct on so many levels.  Maybe people have always been so ignorant to "gateway crimes" or the power of early detection of deviant behavior and/or deterring it but it wasn't so easy to publicly express their ignorance.  I was taught to think things through before I formed an opinion and certainly consider all sides.  These people either want to live in a society where walking around with "your junk" hanging out is acceptable and like the idea of catching a glance or they are just too stupid to realize if you let one do it you are making a statement that it is ok for everyone.  He was 18 when he did it.  an adult.  I seriously doubt the guy in front of him is thrilled to have the photo as published.  I wouldn't want my children exposed to this and if they were male if would be equally unacceptable.  What happened to proactive thinking and respect for the law?  I think the reporting, possibility of prosecution and public humiliation of the incident will deter him and many of his peers from doing it again.  50 comments from grown adults mocking the law, condoning and minimizing  the behavior will surely inspire someone else to go ahead and give it shot knowing they have the support of mindless "what's the big deal" individuals who like the thought of seeing an 18 year old holding his mind in his hand.
