It might be old news because I don't know when it was telecast.
But right in the middle of the telecast they (between races) just announced that Gene Snow has just been arrested for child molestation with a 17 year old!
Weird. Right between race heats. :squiggle:

I found it strange that they would throw that out as breaking news right in the middle of the competition.
Screwed me all up. Who's racing? :rolleyes:

From all the stories flying around in the past few days since his arrest, it appears he's gone the other way for some time. This molestation has been reported to be ongoing for about 5 years and the youngster just finally gained the courage to come forward. If all that's reported about "The Snowman" proves to be true, He's been quite a piece of work for quite a while?

Too bad for the sport. From the point of view as veing an ex-crew cheif on a Top Fuel car I say NHRA should hang him buy his ball$ (to start with at the starting line of the next event). As a person whose wife was molested when she was a child I would say let the child and his family tie him to a phone pole, give them one shot a hour, start shooting at his feet, each shot move up about 1/2 foot and teleivise the whole thing. Let some of the other molesters out there watch.

I think it's time for public execution, as in televised - it could be the ultimate reality show

I have some unfortunate news for you Ratso... it isn't nowadays... it is since the start of time.
Any research into historical figures will show you clearly that this isn't exactly new. It has only really been illegal for a short time actually taken into context.
We are just living in a world today with more information, greater consequence and less tolerance.
That being said... this guy should fry. I don't understand the mentality, as I doubt anyone with any form of social conscience for the last 7000 years has been able to.

Froggy,sad but true the Internet has not helped,making all sorts of porn immediatly available.I also believe now people are more likely to turn someone in than they did years ago.I`m not picking on the Catholic church or making a judgment here, but look at the alter boys coming forward years after abuse had happened.It`s been around for ever and sadly young lives have been damaged.

I was raised Catholic, and if you want to pick on the Catholic Church, I couldn't blame you one bit. Talk about a disgrace with what all has come to light over the past few years.

I wouldn't wish a statement like that on anybody...especially somebody that a lot of us long time fans consider to be one of the legends of the sport.

Oh but the posts that say tie him to a pole and shoot him every hour for a slow painfull death didn't bother you?
I looked up to him as a legend of the sport for a long time too!
Keyword LOOKED
There just really isn't any room for a child molester on my list of
hero's!
Remember when people thought O.J. was the man? Things change
I thought they were still looking for the "real killer" :idea:
