A homeless perverted social parasite with a criminal record for indecent exposure was arrested for masturbating next to a children’s playground in Berkeley, CA.

I am a bit surprised that that sort of thing is still illegal in Berkeley, but, hey, well done Berkeley Police.

A commenter by the handle Iceland_1622 takes issue with the arrest, and all the sex negativity.

“Children are not* going to perish and fall down dead from seeing male genitals, however it’s akin to people having sex in public in the nude. Young children receive ‘confused and ‘conflicting’ messages about sexuality as per such an incident. It’s for making babies and there is a time and a place to express one’s sexuality and this was not the time nor the place. Back to deep residential treatment vs. just incarceration hopefully. Punishment is not the answer or resolution to such issues.”

Aw, pity the poor pervert. What he did really wasn’t really that bad. Why does our society have to be so uptight about sexuality and genitals and stuff?

Commenter Anposter is similarly sympathetic toward the pervert.

This guy clearly had major issues last time he was caught engaging in similar behavior. I’m hoping he gets the treatment he obviously needs but I doubt he will. We’re not that advanced as a civilized society.

Ah, “treatment,” is there no social ill it cannot correct.
