Halloween Restrictions Against Sex Offenders Blocked

October 31, 2008 | ISSUE 44•44

Parts of a Missouri law requiring sex offenders to remain inside with the lights out on Halloween night were rejected by a judge as unenforceable. What do you think?

Okay, but during the parade, they ought to stay squarely inside the sex offenders' float.

Penny Adler
Systems Analyst
As a registered sex offender, I can assure you that I spend most of my time inside with the lights out anyway.

Oscar Souble
Claims Adjuster
Probably because a suspiciously dark house on Halloween would attract even sexier kids.
