People have claimed (with screenshots shown below) that Jim Lanhan made inappropriate remarks to a minor, or worse.
So of course, to help try to take the heat off of his own alleged improprieties, he decided to make it his mission to banish Registered Persons out of his community.
For a few years now, the shithole city of Joliet has tried to shut down housing for Registered Persons, including an attempt by disgraced former mayor Bob O'DeKirk.
In an interview with the Garbage Patch, the treasure troll make the following dumb quote:
"It's going to be beautiful," Lanham remarked. "And like I said, this is a good thing, especially considering now there's a movement in our state legislature in the General Assembly to try to lower sex offender distances. These bleeding-heart liberal progressives want to lower the distance to 250 feet. One of their biggest complaints is because Chicago is such an urban overgrowth that it's hard to find compliant housing for sex offenders. Well, have it be a Chicago law.
"In Joliet, they need to stay 500 feet. And let's remember, these guys aren't victims of anything. They're volunteers. They did what they did on purpose. So if they're inconvenienced or their feelings are hurt, I don't care. John (Sheridan) does not care, the residents of Illinois don't care. So if they're inconvenienced, this is too bad."
