DOC mug shot, therefore in public domain, blog post by John Hoff
It was March, 2011, when I last wrote a "Permanent Public Forum" blog post on a North Minneapolis Level Three sex offender, intending to make sure neighborhood residents will always have a public place to comment on these pervs and the still-burning issue of Level Three sex offender concentration in the 55411 zip code.
Also, there is the goal of "aggregate useful data and feed the hungry google bots."
Away from my beloved North Minneapolis neighborhood, I find myself gravitating to a bloggy task that relies nothing on geographic proximity and everything on digging up information via the internet. By my count, eleven Level Three sex offenders need their own blog posts. Twelve already have "Permanent Public Forum posts, and a select few--Harold Clayton Lacy, Kirk Douglas Green and, of course, the notorious Peter "Spanky Pete" Rickmyer have been the subject of blog posts where anybody could leave questions or info in the comments sections...therefore I see no need for a "forum" blog post to cover these guys.
Eleven Level Threes who have thus far escaped their own special little blog post will be seeing their pictures and whatever info I can dig up appear here in the next few days, weeks, months (however long it takes) with comment space reserved for those who wish to add more.
In addition, Tupac Toshiq Makavelli has a new mug shot and therefore will get his own special blog post, even though he has already been the subject of coverage on this blog, click here.
So, let us start with Richard Carpenter. Just what we need, huh? A sex offender with a not terribly distinctive name. He doesn't even have a MIDDLE name. Well, at least he's got a birthday...
