This was forwarded by the Bard and I think Boston is the only place he
is not banned?
So this is a good story and I agree ACLU can represent whom they
please....I point out what is happening to our children and Gay Pride
and this Militant Group - they loose these predators upon our
children......
You sex life should remain private but you want to wave red flag?
Hitler persecuted homosexuals? What did they do - wave big red flag
until everybody hated them? For you see this is how it is
done.......stuff like this.
Anything that cannot be controlled in this country is now destroyed, be
it good or evil. For this, is the begininning they think of the New
World Order - same as the Old World Order.....I call them Big Foot (they
would trample us and give us all the boot) and let them throw in all the
God Shouters they want......better be careful though, God might be
listening and warming up his lightning bolts now.

ACLU To Represent Group

BOSTON (AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union will represent a group
that advocates sex between men and boys in a lawsuit brought by the
family of a slain 10-year-old.
The family of Jeffrey Curley of Cambridge said the North American
Man/Boy Love Association and its Web site - which is now offline -
incited the attempted molestation and murder of the boy on Oct. 1, 1997.
One of two men convicted in the killing, Charles Jaynes, 25, reportedly
viewed the group's Web site shortly before the killing, and also had in
his possession some of NAMBLA's publications. Also convicted in the
killing was 24-year-old Salvatore Sicari.
The ACLU said the case, filed in federal court in mid-May, involves
issues of freedom of speech and association.
``For us, it is a fundamental First Amendment case,�� John Roberts,
executive director of the Massachusetts branch of the ACLU, told The
Boston Globe Wednesday. ``It has to do with communications on a Web
site, and material that does not promote any kind of criminal behavior
whatsoever.��
ACLU officials said NAMBLA members deny encouraging coercion, rape or
violence.
Attorney Lawrence Frisoli, who represents the Curleys, said he is glad
the ACLU is defending NAMBLA, because he has had trouble locating the
group's members.
Harvey Silverglate, an ACLU board member, said Wednesday that the
group's attorneys will try to block any attempt by the Curleys to get
NAMBLA's membership lists, or other materials identifying members.
The ACLU also will act as a surrogate for NAMBLA, allowing its members
to defend themselves in court while remaining anonymous.
According to the Globe, NAMBLA officials in the past have said their
main goal is the abolition of age-of-consent laws that classify sex with
children as rape.
At two separate trials last year, prosecutors said Jaynes and Sicari
were sexually obsessed with the boy, lured him from his Cambridge
neighborhood with the promise of a new bike, and then smothered him with
a gasoline-soaked rag when he resisted their sexual advances. They then
stuffed him into a concrete-filled container and dumped it into a Maine
river.
Sicari, convicted of first-degree murder, is serving a life sentence
without the possibility of parole. Jaynes' second-degree murder and
kidnapping convictions enable him to seek parole in 23 years.
The Curleys last week were awarded $328 million by a superior court jury
in a civil suit against Jaynes and Sicari.

Thirty, the end......$328 million dollars is too cheap a price......for
the life of the child, was priceless.
