There’s nothing funny about a wanted sex offender at large. There’s something triumphant about catching him though. And there’s plenty of funnies to be made once he’s sentenced. It’s like that Sublime song, ‘Date Rape’. Or that movie, Spaceballs. Obscure references aside, we can exhale a sigh of relief, because top ten most wanted child molester Edward Harper has been apprehended by the Feds and is currently being brought to justice.
The repulsive 63 year-old claimed to be a member of the Montana Freemen, a renegade group that refused the authority of US law. His current association with the group is doubtful considering that they were taken down by the very authorities they defied after a nearly three month standoff. Besides, no one wants a child molester in their club house, not even gun toting survivalists.
Harper was caught in a situation characteristic of a child molester who’s off the clock. Grimy appearance, check. Creepy van, check. Living in creepy van nomadically, check. The only thing missing was the slimy looking moustache. Harper was brought in without incident, which is an action he may regret in retrospect when he’s in prison getting…well, you know how that Sublime song goes.
