I go this e-mail from my neighborhood association this morning and I'm simply amazed at it. Granted, prostitution is a problem in my neighborhood; I've had to run off hookers from picking up johns in front of my house. But what do you think? Is this going too far? I'm actually uncomfortable with this e-mail, but I don't know the history behind the case.

HELP WANTED
ATTEND ACCUSED PROSTITUTE'S COURT HEARING
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH, 1:00PM

Irvington residents are being asked to attend the court hearing for ABC XYZ who has been arrested over 20 times for prostitution and other crimes. Your attendance at this hearing will help insure that the court understands that these crimes do have victims and that these activities harm your neighborhood. There is a real concern that Ms. XYZ could be back at work along East Washington Street before you get home from work Thursday evening.

The hearing is Thursday, September 13th at 1:00pm... We hope to see you there.
