And I hope that Craig retracts his plea, challenges the arrest and in the process exposes the Rightwing's follies in trying to turn Americans against one another.

I mean, was it really a sincere effort to "protect the children" against predators? or simply a manifestation of the Right's absurd zero-tolerance approach to force the public to conform to their idea of morality?

As a father myself, I certainly don't relish the idea of some asshole hitting on my kids in the bathroom, but after reading about this case and hearing the audio of the arrest, I just don't think this guy was a threat to anyone and the cop was covering his ass after jumping to conlusions.

Sure, Craig pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor of disorderly conduct. Well, yeah, he was kind of belligerent with the cop, so I can understand the charge, but he didn't plead guilty to any sort of sexual predatory action. At least I didn't get that after reading the police report. Seemed to me that the cop was either a bit over-zealous in trying to get his collar, or was just trying to cover his own ass.

I just hope Craig realizes that he was caught in his own party's trap and changes his ways and exposes the idiocy of it all.
