Your (friendly) neighborhood sex offender

Thanks to this article, I learned about how through some nifty manipulation of GoogleMaps, you can find out how many sex offenders live on your block. (I'm declining to say how many I found near my house). Before you get all freaked and start egging houses (or worse), remember that a large portion of victims already knew their molester. I do feel a bit conflicted, since I'm usually for the right to privacy. I guess for now I'll just chalk it up to 'better safe than sorry'.
