I stumbled across it when I did a ccap thing for something else...his name was still there and it popped up.

Poor Gary. Yesterday was not one of his better days; lost his job and his family. Tsk, tsk.

All I can say is it's about time. Her and her kids will be way better off. I can't imagine he was home with them much anyways with all the chasing he did.

It's all so sad. I never liked the guy, but I do not take pleasure in this. I can't even imagine what his personal life must be like. I hope that with time, he, his wife, and children can recover from this.

People often say that I'm nuts. And, yes, I see a shrink regularly and take psych drugs and have been involved in all sorts of counseling and group therapy and self-help groups for years. I say and do outrageous things. But I never hide it - in fact, many people are shocked by my candor about myself. And I'm often dismissed because of that.

Meanwhile, the "serious" people wear suits and go to important meetings where they discuss serious business. Just like Gary Becker used to do . . .

Who would you rather deal with - a nut who is honest about himself, or a "respectable" perv who hides his monsters inside?

if he was a decent person by any tiny amount, he would plead guilty, but I guess he can't be honest no matter what. I feel for his family.

I saw that his resignation made the Arizona Daily Star here in Tucson...one of the short "Around the Nation" stories.

Lizardmom, see my rant about lying elsewhere. A lawyer will tell you to plead innocent whether you're guilty or not. Institutionalized lying. The courts and lawyers and judges are a maze of lies. And then "justice" is supposed to somehow occur there.

I quote, "I hope that with time, he, his wife, and children can recover from this" end quote.

All I can say about that is, "F**K HIM". And I really do feel bad for his wife and children. I hope they hold the heads high while distance their selves from him.

Made the Pt Charlotte paper as well and now I heard that the Portland, OR mayor has admitted to having a relationship with a barely 18 year old young man. What the ??? Is there something in the water?

SER, yeah I know, that's my gut feeling, too, especially when you consider that most of these guys are multiple offenders. Thing is, I believe you have to be seriously disturbed to do crap like that. That's not making excuses for him - he has to take the punishment - but he needs more than that. Unfortunately, the recidivism rate for pedophiles and other sex offenders is very high. They're wired differently or something. i don't have any answers.

I agree with you, SER. Mrs. Becker has nothing to be ashamed of nor do her children. I want them to be off limits for the media dogs. I cannot even imagine being a teenager and having a father accused of this. My heart goes out to his wife and children.

Drugs. I already know the defense. coke addiction makes you do weird stuff. Saw a few folks go down nasty from it's affects. Pisses me off when it is used as an excuse for their actions though. Life is a series of choices. Make the right ones for craps sake.

The next one going down is Terry Bradshaw. I saw him on Jay Leno and it wasn't extremely evident he was on something. Way too much of whatever drug he's hooked on. Then I watched him a week and a half ago on Sunday. He's blowing that job too. Doing drugs on the job isn't a good thing when they affect how you act and your product.

I have a question, 'Assuming Mr. Becker goes to the pokie, when released, do any of you feel he will stay in Racine or move else where'?

Who says he is getting prison time? This is the First offense they can charge him with, he hasn't been linked to actually diddling a minor, and he'll plea a bunch of crap down. End up with a slapped wrist. This is the Racine Prosecutor, and a crafty shyster representing Becker. His bail went from 185k to 10k. Reality sucks.

He'll stay in Racine cuz that is where he'll be buried. I think he'll yank his own chain. The fall has been far and sudden. From Power to Sex Predator is a huge label difference.

I think he is buried already. While it is all for the best that this came to light and his potential to harm children has been curtailed, this is still a tragedy. It is a tragedy for his wife, his children and the city. I'm glad that his family is attempting to move forward.
