Who said that all of these employees were sent into homes? Did they actually work in the field or admin or shop? What exactly were they convicted of? Is there really 1/3 of 80 employees working for Beacon that have a history? Did King 5 do background checks on all employees? Could there only be 7 with a history? Do we know all the facts? Are all felons created equal? Is there really a child rapist working there? Should we beleive it just because King 5 suggested it? Why wasn't the name of the child rapist put on TV? Is it true that the owner of Southwest Plumbing has a close relative that works for King 5 (his daughter-in-law)? Is Beacon really sueing King 5? Are we as a society so mindless that we will accept anything the media says as fact? Use your brain people, there is a lot about this story that just doesn't add up. If you beleive everything you are told by the media than I have a bridge that I can sell you over and over again!! Who said Beacon knowingly hired felons?

You are worried about an ex-felon coming into your home to do work, when most crimes are committed by people that are close to us and we know. Just because someone is an ex-con, does not mean they are unsafe for your home. You would have an illegal alien come into your home and u worry about an American citizen who made a mistake against MANS laws. Sinners are allowed in your home and they violate GODS laws and that is not a problem to you. Think about this, if a convict came into your home, then at lest his/her finger prints or DNA is left somewhere in the home, but a undocumented worker can come into your home rob, cheat and steal and get out of the country undetected, or betta yet, just stay in the country and live happily on the spoils of their crimes. There are no fingerprints for these people, no DNA on file for these people, there is nothing that would stop them from doing whatever it is they want to do to u.

The business has a responsibility to ensure our safety. I will support the Sue Weaver CAUSE and look forward to the day when every contractor will have some kind of identification to assure me that people I invite in to my home to perform work will not be a threat to my family's safety.

So the the killer and the child raping felon have been let go, but what about the other felons? The story pointed out that of the employees examined nearly one third of them were convicted felons. At the end of the day we are responsible for our own choices, Bill Cahill (the owner) for hiring felons, the felons for committing crimes, the other employees who work there and have chosen to continue to work for a company that would send killers and child rapists into their customers' homes. Maybe the children who should be proud are the ones with fathers whose morals and ethics cause them to leave the employment of a company that would do this and go somewhere else.

While this was the right thing to do, this story has damaged all the good employees who work for Beacon with families. A lot of the employees have children who probably won't recover from this, since King 5 wasn't detailed enough and cast suspicion over everyone at the company, I beleive that this could possibly ruin this company but will also destroy the lives of many children who are proud of their dads and the good work they do.
