Prostitution within 1,000 feet of a church?! What kind of BS crime is that?

[DrScholl]

It's Oklahoma, so it's not surprising that they would have a law about prostitution within so many feet of the church. The real horrifying thing is that an adult man was in a hotel room with a teenager.

This.

[The Dowager Mod]

lol, The guy had a minor in a motel room and Santander is horrified by the prostitution law.

LMAO, Oklahoma is totally backwards.

[The_Doctor]

Let me guess, the state senator is a “devout Christian˝ who screams about the heathens nonstop.

[Maxwell]

seems like the Milo bug is floating around.

[Mr. Reactionary]

At least it was a live boy.

[ApatheticAustrian]

At least it was a live boy.

well, the edwin edwards old quote was.... ""The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy"

Too bad it wasn't a dead boy, then.

The party of Jesus once again showing its true colors.

[KingSweden]

At least it was a live boy.

Other than Godfather Part II have there been any prominent cases of "dead girl?"

What, prostitution should be legal, but only if it's within 1,000 feet of a church?

[Blue3]

Was he over the age of consent, which in most states is 16?

There's a big difference between that, and it simply being prostitution.

It should either be legal or not. The whole "within 1,000 feet of a church" phrase is absolutely ridiculous.

[The_Doctor]

A cursory investigation reveals, of course, he's an evangelical fat Christian type who rails about social issues. How shocking.

Ralph Shortey, by the way, is the name. Google him, people. You'll enjoy the schadenfreude. I don't know why, but why is it that some of the loudest evangelical conservatives seem incapable of restraining themselves around children? (not all of them, of course, but it seems definitely a trope to assume that at this point, any fat loudmouthed evangelical who "spends time around children" needs to be closely monitored).

[OneJ]

Really Oklahoma? The man was in a hotel room with a teenager and y'all have to focus on a specific sin that happened within 1,000 feet of a church?

SMDH.

[Bojack Horseman]

An anti-gay, homophobic bigot named Shorty gets caught in a hotel room with an underage boy. As tempting as it is to laugh at this, the social services side of me wants to cry for the poor boy.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I guess this kinda sorta counts?  Though Condit himself had no role in the girl's disappearance or death.

I know. I was just joking. Although you know the people who support this law are the same ones who rail against drug and weapons free zones around schools.

When Matthew said come unto me father, all things are delivered unto me of my Father...this is not what he meant.

Sad!
