Fred Savage's opponent on The Wizard

[ZJ]

I wanted to google what happened to him and get depressed. 

Is it Luke Edwards?  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098663/

If so, whats so depressing?

[RoninFox]

Nope, Luke Edwards played his little brother.  The evil opponent kid was Lucas, played by Jackey Vinson.

This is what is so depressing.

[Bob]

Eh, did not know that.

Ugh.

ummm...yikes.  That borders on poor taste by Rifftrax to make me seek that out.

It also borders on poor taste by IMDB to splash the top of his bio page like that.  come on...the guy was held accountable and did his time.  He paid his debt to society.  also sometimes that kind of thing can be blown out of proportion like a consenting 17 year old girl pretending to be 18, or police entrapment, or misunderstandings and stuff like that:

Isnt jail time and having to tell your neighbors youre a sex offender enough?

I'm sympathetic.  My ex gf told me about an employee she once had who was arrested for going to meet a girl he met online at a restuarant.  it turned out to be a cop who said she was underage.  now the rest of his life is humiliation.  he can never get his life together ever again.  he cant get a decent job.  he has to humiliate himself to his neighbors and show up on an internet watch list.  I dont think he deserves that since he technically never actually did anything. 

Some people deserve such treatment but not everyone is what i'm saying.

There's a world of difference between "Well, she said she was 18 but wasn't" and  "Multiple Acts of Sexual Conduct Against a Child aged less than 11 years old" which is what Vinson was imprisoned for. Not a lot of sympathy for him.
