Critics of accused stalker should remember he has a family, too

This is a response to the stories about stalking. It is amazing to me how this community has convicted someone just from what's been written in the media.

Local talk show hosts and law enforcement agencies have really taken advantage of this high-profile case for publicity.

As unsettling as it may be, this was all done out of infatuation. There was never any malicious intent, nor was there any contact.

When (the object of the reported stalking) was asked if she knew the person being held on misdemeanor charges the answer was "no." She had no idea who he was, had never seen him and there was no contact ever made. So how can you fear someone who you know nothing about?

Before we call him names like "slime bag" and "creepy," remember he has a family.

How can people be so mean and take advantage of someone who really needs help?
