Not relevant.

Just a quick reality check, are you now correcting your statement that the Lakes Region has no particular violent crime problems?

And to actually answer your question (wouldnt want it to go unanswered)

NO, the crime wasnt stopped, it happened and those children suffered and will be scared for life.

Maybe if a passer by had been armed, and saw what was going on and was brave enough to do something, it could have been stopped. Now wouldnt that have been a better outcome???

Well at least that ties the conversation to the Lakes Region,,, Sad it had to be about child molestation that actually occurred right in our playground of Winnipesaukee.

Not at all. Reread the post... we do not have a particular history of violence.
*especially great or intense is the defiinition... and our area fits that definition.

I am pointing out that you are trying to deflect to save face... as there is no reason for the discussion other than a political philosophy that has not abject relevance to either Lake Winnipesaukee or the Lakes Region.

You are simply way off subject on the basis of the forum.
