A new website has published names, addresses and photographs of people recently arrested in Johnson County — but then offers to delete the information if the arrestee pays a fee of $199.99. Launched more than a month ago, the site created a public outcry this week after letters announcing the website started landing in arrestees’ mailboxes. “We have already started blabbing to the world about your release from jail,” the letter said. “And we want to make you aware of our services, as we kind of have a big mouth.”

Matthew Creed, 30, of Shawnee said he launched his site to deter crime and alert people to what their neighbors are doing. He pledged to donate 10 percent of the fees to charities.

"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
