Let the police do their job and quit the QAnon lies and B.S.
The could do this sting in any city/state and lure men into being stupid. Actual pedos aren’t so obvious, they could be your coach or uncle or POTUS.

Guess what?, the arrest of 13 men in Tulare County doesn’t tell the entire story…there are many Pedos that never get arrested…there are Pedos that wear a badge, there are pedos that teach in your kids schools, that sit behind you on Sunday mornings in church….there might be one that sits at your dinner table…, you might even be one. They’re everywhere and we all interact with them and don’t even know it, Steve Harrell should support his son, it doesn’t mean he approves of his actions .

This isn’t the first or last time they’ve done this. There is no “cure” for sex offenders.

so sad how many people here are condemning the father..you never know what you would do in this kind of situation until it happens to you. The father, I am sure, is stunned, hurt and disappointed but with his background in l LE he is trained to be restrained and hold back his feelings. Plus he may be like that anyway..Dont think for one minute his heart isn’t broken. I have learned as a parent and really as a human, never say never..things can happen to you in your life, things you never, ever thought possible or would be something you have to deal with..no one is immune to bad things happening…I have also learned those that judge so harshly sometimes have something just as ugly or life changing happen to them, so be careful with your words..we don’t know what this is like to go through and one day it could be you..

Prostitution has been in plain site on Inyo in Tulare and other places, rest area etc. for many years. It has been condoned by law enforcement in the past. These attitudes aren’t going to change overnight.

Wow, so many are ready to pounce on a person whom just found out the same time this news hit. Steve didn’t comment and maybe other things were on his mind.

Steve’s father passed away that morning. I learned about it on Tuesday. Having seen my own father die, I know there are many arrangements that need to be made and having to deal with the hate expressed here is probably the last thing on his mind. Steve still showed up for the candidate’s forum as he stands by his commitment to being elected as a City Councilman.

Elections bring out the best and worst in people. Steve shows integrity under duress. For many posting, nice for bringing out the worst in yourselves. Too bad you are afraid to put your name to your comments and show your true self to the people of Tulare.
