An Ohio man residing on a busy road has posted a giant banner pointing to the next-door neighbor’s house and identifying him as a sex offender based on a 2002 offense of statutory rape, for which he served two years in prison. Passing motorists are encouraged to honk in support of the effort to force him out, and plenty of them do. Such harassment, tantamount to inviting vigilantism, is perfectly legal and even socially commended when directed against those deemed to be “sex offenders.”
