| In contemporary San Francisco, a heterosexual military male can no more expect justice than a black man could in Jim Crow Alabama. |

| #4 In California they release sex offenders from prison all the time. Just read the next to the last paragraph in this article about convicted sex offender John Gardner if you can manage to read the rest of the article without your blood boiling. We have Megan's law and as a result of John Gardner's activity they are working on Amber's law. Our reckless and irresponsible state legislators would never in a million years come up with common sense laws like these on their own. They have to be prodded by outraged parents and citizens. Nobody has ever yet figured out a bullet proof way to rehabilitate sex offenders and yet the state releases them from prison all the time. But it's too much to ask for a guy who was trying to keep from getting raped. San Francisco really is a crime against nature. |

| #3 Although generally fair, the presiding commissioner, Jack Garner, has apparently lived in California too long. After Nary confessed that he had frequented prostitutes as an 18-year-old sailor, Garner asked, "On the morality scale ... what was so different about the situation with Juan that caused you to do what you did?" So, according to Garner here, No means "YES! And I'll even pay you for the privilege of being anually raped". |

| #2 I discovered the story in researching my 2007 book, What's the Matter with California, I think the answer to the book title should be "Anything that can be imagined...and then some". |
