Funny thing is… Bill Gates actually did start up his business in Albuquerque, NM (same as the mug shot…)

it is right from the pit of hell. Who is “The Accuser” after all?

I agree with you 100%. The practice is unconstitutional to the utmost and police departments are far exceeding their authority with this kind of crap. Those people in those pictures have rights that are being abused incredibly. Most of them are just going to lose their life savings trying to pay a lawyer for the actual case and don't have resources to challenge the website.

Churches engaging in such a practice are so out of line that it's incredible. Makes me sick. We don't have to LIKE strip clubs, but we need to get our hearts right with God as to how we minister to them. Ask Donny Pauling.

I don't see it as being in line with the example of Jesus. He had many opportunities to humiliate people and He didn't. Even when He was putting the religious leaders in their place it was subtle not the bullhorn/billboard style. He was loving and never condemned. It didn't mean he condoned the bad behavior but it was clear that the issue was between the person and God. It was nobody's business.

I would agree with most of what has been posted. Here's another thought…it is also easy to forget that there are usually families who are attached to the people in those pictures. They have done nothing to deserve the humiliation that could come to them as well.

Mike – that is a very good point! I guess there are so many things to consider in something like this. Its hard when this may have been a truly good hearted endeavor that has actually been followed through on.. [although poorly] most of us don't even do that. It is certainly misguided and probably detrimental to the cause. I guess i just don't want to see criticism given without some eyes on the positive too. Nothing is ever black and white. I guess we can learn from the mistakes but also take up the call to be practical in promoting our beliefs and do something truly positive in some social activism filled with love!

So did they get it wrong? yes.. but did they at least try – sure! For most of us it should inspire a call for us to be active in our communities.. my fear is if we are too hard on those who try and fail we may just find people do nothing. Of course you are a leading example of being socially active in the right way.. so this is probably more a point for me than you

the other thing to think about is that the HPD is posting pictures of those “arrested” for DUI and not those convicted of a DUI. i realize my libertarian nature is coming out here but last time i checked being arrested for something doesnt mean that youre guilty of it. just something to consider.
