I recently wrote about the growing trend of losers that still live at home despite being otherwise-functioning adults- a trend that Hollywood has picked up on, most notably with the new flick “Failure to Launch,” starring (I use the term loosely) Matthew McConaughey’s run-amok teenage libido and the skeletonized corpse of Carrie Bradshaw.

It gets worse, much worse. Sometimes humor is just a shield from the horror…

Then, this morning I’m reading about the bust of a child sex ring in the Chicago area, and I come across this little tidbit, in regards to one of the alleged child molesters and pornographers, Brian Annoreno:

“Annoreno’s lawyer, Michael Falconer, said that he doesn’t believe the feds recovered a video showing Annoreno molesting a child and that he thinks those charges are based on accounts given by a witness.
Falconer said his client is a “computer whiz” but is an immature 29 “going on 12” and lives with his parents. He said Annoreno’s parents believe their son was used by someone else in the scheme.”

His lawyer goes on to say: “”If you saw him, he’s a skinny little kid; I bet he doesn’t weigh 100 pounds. It’s impossible that he’s a ringleader of anything.” Which, translated, means roughly: “Hey, all you cons in cellblock D, get ready for the new bitch in town. This punk is a fucking weakling and a child molester. Time for some rough justice.”

And isn’t it just like the parents to assert that, (I paraphrase) “No, our little Brian couldn’t do a thing like that! He must have been used by someone else. You know: someone with brains.”

This case is just so sick and twisted it defies belief. Even hardened criminals despise on child molesters.
Read the article, not for the shock or horror but because it is your civic duty to know what’s going on in your community.
