Column Not Funny
Re: Tony Perry column, “Was Juvenile Agent Exposed to Too Much XXX to Testify?” (Aug. 14).
The overworked San Diego Police Deparment is making an effort to keep juveniles out of the burgeoning adult book stores as much as possible. The majority of the public appreciates this effort. Unfortunately, Mr. Perry feels it’s necessary to write a sneering, comedic column deriding their good work. He even quotes criminal attorney A. Dale Manicom’s college-boy humor--real class.
Women and children (even toddlers) are raped, beaten and murdered daily. At what age does Mr. Perry believe the mind of a criminal begins to twist? 35 years? A boy’s attitude toward women forms very young, e.g., the Central Park jogger’s attackers.
It’s not funny, Mr. Perry.
