Yes I believe you should publish the names of those people caught in Shell Park. The reason being you publish the names of any other peoâ€" ple who are caught committing a criminal offence and I think this is no different. I think as the public we have the right to know what‘s going on in a park close by. I also think that the wives of the offenders should know that their husbands have been committing this act and I think since somebody has already died of AIDS then the public has the right to know. I‘d love to see their names ; lished because they should be ; ished, but a sad repercussion of would be that the families wo also become victims â€" the w and the childrenâ€" and I think i have enough to deal with. Elaine Burke No they don‘t have the right to publish the names of the people who have been charged, however, they do have the right, in my opinâ€" ion, to publish the names of the people who have been prosecuted because the law still stays â€" innoâ€" cent until proven guilty. I‘m one of the men charged Shell Park. I‘ m a pillar of the cc munity and I‘ve made one indisc tion and 1 am shamed to death will never happen again. But shame me before my coâ€"work and neighbors and acquaintan in Oakville would be absolute s rilege and I consider this just a 1 rible thing and would like you consider to practise restraint. Anonvym I feel of course the names should be published. You would publish my name if I thumped one for leapfrogging in front of my chilâ€" dren. But then you may offend them and they may get discriminated against to the extent they don‘t get free married allowances and conâ€" doms.
