Typing Like Mad

So I finished my magnum opus on pepper sprays, which you can find here. I doubt my post will be of much help, but I offer it for what it is worth.

Off topic, do you know that a proposed law in Maine will make it illegal to gaze at children with "visual sexual aggression"? Turn your gaze on children in public and you might very well find yourself in jail for a felony!

I discuss this example of thought crime legislation at The Chicago Boyz.

Hey, here in SC we have a law making it illegal to do something that you think is illegal, even it really isn't.

They passed it because of some guy that tried to hook up with a cop pretending to be a minor on a chat board. Since the victim was actually not a minor, the guy got the charges dismissed.

So, now we have REAL thought crimes here. If you think that what you're doing is against the law, you can go to jail for it. Doesn't matter if it really is illegal or not.
