It's amazing what you get to see in the landlording business. Sewer pipes that cost five figures to repair, for one, and primates behaving badly, for another. See, we have a tenant. The lease signed by the tenant lists the tenant, M., and her adult son, a convicted child molester. These two people are the only people who are supposed to be living in the apartment.

It is a one-bedroom apartment.

Reports from other tenants in the same building, as well as statements made by M. herself, indicate that M. has moved in her husband (who is not on the lease and who should not, therefore, be living in the apartment). Reports from other tenants further strongly suggest that the son's girlfriend and her CHILDREN are living in the one-bedroom apartment with M., M.'s husband, and M.'s child-molesting son. Nobody has yet come forth detailing the sleeping arrangements in this one-bedroom apartment, so you'll have to use your imagination for that.

When the girlfriend's children are there, the other tenants call the police because the son, convicted child molester that he is, is not supposed to be around children. As you might expect, this whole clusterfuck of a situation is causing a certain amount of difficulty and stress amongst the other tenants of the building.

Couple of things I'd like to point out, here.

1. MHMR pays the rent for these people. That'd be, y'know, your tax dollars at work.
2. What kind of useless twat dates a convicted child molester?
2a. What kind of useless twat lets her children HANG OUT WITH a convicted child molester?
3. WHY ARE WE LETTING THESE PEOPLE BREED?

We let these people breed because Western society tried eugenics once before and it was a complete and utter clusterfuck.

Good point, good point. But dang, sometimes it's hard to watch. Free will's a bitch.

Actually, there is an excellent limited method of eugenics that works really well in this specific sort of case: when somebody is convicted through due process of a serious enough crime, lock them up in jail and don't let them out. And if this man had molested children on his marijuana farm, presumably that's exactly what would have been done.

Oddly, my anger and frustration weren't aimed at the convicted-child-molester. Assuming he's actually guilty of what he was convicted of, I'm pretty sure he's broken inside and probably not all that responsible for what he does. My ire was directed at the, er, useless twat for showing relatively little selectivity about whose dick she lets inside her AND for showing a complete lack of what I'd consider a basic parenting skill.

Well, WRT Mr. CCM, sure: "jail" should probably be read as "an appropriate degree of isolation from society". But the shitty parent issue reduces to the people-are-dumb issue, and the best thing to do about the people-are-dumb issue seems to be to give people less opportunities to be dumb in ways that hurt others; and removing CCM from society does that.

(As an added bonus, if Ms. UT prefers to mate with CCMs, she will be less likely to breed at all under these circumstances, thus accomplishing the other half of the eugenic goal.)
