Actor Stephen Baldwin, 39, who has appeared in such films as “The Sex Monster”, “Mr. Murder” and “Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas”, is now a married father of two girls, 9 and 13, and living in Nyack, NY. He is also a born again Christian, Bush supporter and strongly opposed to the opening of a local porn shop near his home.
According to ABC NEWS Baldwin said, “I’m not on any crusade against pornography. Anybody who is into that, wants to go and do it, God bless them. The problem I’m having is the zoning laws and regulations and all that. In our area where there is only 200 feet required from an elementary school, this particular location plans on having eight video peep show booths.”
But the owner of the shop, Dennis Perera, says he can stay open for 10 years without one customer.
Baldwin’s is battling against what he fears will bring sex crimes and vandalism to his neighborhood. Speaking from tactile experience, crime and sex addiction are indeed real. Yet Baldwin, instead of targeting real world poverty, poor schools, racism, and untreated mental illness–like any good Republican, blames the usual suspects: the media.
