CHICHESTER, N.H. – A pastor in this quiet, picturesque New England town thought he was doing the Christian thing when he took in a convicted child killer who had served his time but had nowhere to go. But some neighbors of the Rev. David Pinckney vehemently disagree, one even threatening to burn his house down after officials could find no one else willing to take 60-year-old Raymond Guay.
"Politicians think they can dump their trash in our small town," said one neighbor, Jon Morales, whose girlfriend and two children live across an unpaved road from Pinckney's home.
Chichester, a town of about 2,200 residents in south-central New Hampshire, has been in an uproar since the weekend, when police announced that Guay would spend two months with Pinckney's family.
About 40 angry residents protested outside the home Saturday, Merrimack County Sheriff Scott Hilliard said. One protester blustered that he wanted to set it on fire, he said....
How in the world does a child killer get out of prison? He should have been executed or at the very least spent life in prison. Then where he lives would not have been an issue.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Welcome to the good old U.S.of A. I understand that the Moslem countries think it ludicrous that we don't execute murderers.

If the people of the town don't want him to live there, they should work on changing the laws so that similar criminals aren't released.
Would you be so cavalier if you lived next door and had small children?

Know what's scary? Look up the sex offender registry for your neighborhood! THAT is the stuff of nightmares!!!
I actually did that a couple of years ago right after we moved into our neighborhood. You are correct it is scary.
We live just outside the city limits of a bedroom community outside of Nashville. It is very middle class with lots of kids, etc. My little subdivision only has about 40 homes but down the main road that goes from our subdivision the 2 miles to town there are several other subdivisions.
While my little subdivision had no sex offenders the surrounding ones literally less than a mile away had somewhere between five and ten if memory serves me correct. I was shocked.
A few years ago when my daughter was staying in Philadelphia for a few months she checked the sex offender registry for the apartment address she was staying at and there were hundreds of sex offenders within a very small radius. Scary.

According to an article from the cabinet a local newspaper. When he was convicted N.H. had no laws allowing for the death penalty or life without parole. I dont know if the pastors actions are christ like. The article says the man has remained unremorseful. Tstew whats your opinion? I mean if the man has repented and is living for GOD...I say yea. But if he isnt I dont know?

If the man remains unrepentant then that pastor has no business endangering the community by taking him in.
