So as public nuisance law stands
Federally
As well as locally
And at a state level
Public Nuisance law is almost totally flexible and adaptable to a specific issue.
SUCH AS
the pedophile priest epidemic in the Catholic Church.
These are times of change, aren’t they.
Since public nuisance law currently has “arbitrary ambiguous language,” local juries and judges end up being the ultimate “deciders”
DOES ANYONE doubt that serial sodomy of altar boys and raping reverent young girls is enough of a public nuisance to require prosecution?
Public Nuisance law up to now is used primarily against product manufacturers.
Most remarkably Public Nuisance law was applied in Illinois against gun manufacturers.
A true public nuisance affects the entire public. The money in that case went to specific plaintiffs who did not distribute the cash into the community, and we see today, gun violence death of adolescents in the past five years in Chicago on the level of the Al Capone era.
So while we're all applauding that 100 law enforcement agents raided Tony Alamo's ministry in Arkansas after a two year investigation into allegations of child abuse, I just wonder, why can’t they storm an archdiocese chancery in a city like Boston or Chicago or Los Angeles where crimes have come out through civil documents that show the church conspired to keep pedophiles in parishes, neglected the safety of children.
Where is law enforcement? Why aren’t they storming Catholic Archdioceses with the same vigor as they apply to easy to prosecute entities like Tony Alamo Ministries.
