Dear Editor,
After reading over Denise Apuzzo’s article on sex offenders and
cheaters at Gilroy High, I was very disturbed and concerned with
her statements. Ms. Apuzzo, you mention that you had trouble
accessing the Megan’s Law sex offender web site, however after six
attempts you finally were able to get in.
Dear Editor,
After reading over Denise Apuzzo’s article on sex offenders and cheaters at Gilroy High, I was very disturbed and concerned with her statements. Ms. Apuzzo, you mention that you had trouble accessing the Megan’s Law sex offender web site, however after six attempts you finally were able to get in. You state in your article, “I was able to access the site; unfortunately I did not have the time to go through all the names and accompanying pictures of the registered sex offenders who are living in Gilroy.”
Then you go on to make the following statements, “many of the offenders named in Gilroy live on the east side of town” and “I attribute this to the fact that most ex-convicts are unable to afford a single family home in Gilroy and reside in apartments which are mostly on the east side of town.” Those were your exact statements!
Wow, how quick you are to judge the east side of Gilroy? You sure were quick to say that many of the offenders live on the east side of Gilroy even before you took the time to check out the web site. For your information, according to the web site of the 85 registrants only nine live in the east side.
I am insulted and offended by your narrow-minded statements due to the fact that there are so many kind families who live on the east side of town. There are so many kind wonderful people who are not only renters, but who are also property owners, professionals, volunteers as well as hard-working and loving people.
Ms. Apuzzo, the next time you are quick to judge, first check out the facts before you throw stones making such inconsiderate and harsh statements about the east side community! You owe the east side of Gilroy an apology! Oh, by the way, criminals live in all areas of Gilroy. Don’t fool yourself!
