Linda, Your defense of Blazetrak is a classic straw man argument. No one said everyone at BT is a criminal, or accountable for the actions of one of it's co-founders and partners. But his arrest for allegedly forcing two women to have sex at gunpoint reflects pretty poorly on the reputation of the business and and his co-founders and partners.
The public certainly has the right to draw adverse opinions about a business based on the charactor and behavior of its owners and employees. The right to freely associate or to choose not to associate with a business based on the business' reputation, or indeed its owners or employees reputations, is a freedom all of us routinely exercise.
I surely wouldn't advise my friends and family to have anything to do with a company where one of its owners has just been arrested for violent and criminal actions against women. Especially if it's a startup company with not much of a track record. In my mind this raises serious questions about the judgments and associations of the other owners of the business.
Of course, I don't have any objection to you endorsing the company or being unconcerned about the arrest of one of its owners. As always, Caveat Emptor applies.

"The standard by which I now measure the things in my life is the following: If I was on my death bed, or if I knew I had a short time to live, would this issue be important? If the answer is no.. I don't sweat it at all. If the answer is Yes, you better believe it goes to the front of the order of today's business!" -Brian Austin Whitney
