@Facts

Not all victims were minors and yet every one of us has been called a child molester or a predator or a long list of other things I cannot even repeat. 

Many of us had a crime closing in on 40 years, and yet we are still a threat? Are we just waiting for that moment to offend again just for fun? Yes, some I hate to say are not too smart and get caught up in a sting (After they had already been arrested before).

It is one thing to get re-arrested for a paper error, and another for another sex crime or attempt. But all roads lead to the same place, jail and even if freed, getting off the registry is most likely not an option. I am not perfect and have done some really dumb things in my lifetime. But I am trying to reach that goal of being removed from registration, but they keep making it so hard that many give up. And lastly, I weep for those who can be removed, but just do not have the huge amount of money it cost to hire a lawyer. Some of us barely have enough money to pay our bills.]]></description>

And if SOCTUS does pick this up and over turn it. All those states listed will just pass signage ordiances at &quot;warp speed&quot; out of spite!  

It&#039;s about hate-filled vengeance, not safety.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[They risk exposing the entire ramshackle scheme when arguing the &quot;critical&quot; merits of signage placement to SCOTUS. The entire popluation needs to be forced to ackknowledge that the registry is a scam and a gimmick-based measure built upon the lies and emotions of victims.  It&#039;s about pettiness, revenge and control.  Not public safety, much less protecting children.]]></description>

Richard
I can understand if we were all on probation because they can do so much more to us when still under the department of corrections. Having said that, off of all paperwork and having done our time, we sure as Hell have a lot more restrictions now off paper than when I did on probation, some 20 years ago. 

They are bending the rights most people have. I understand we will always have a felony record even after getting off the registry (If ever). But continuing to add on made up restrictions every year for people who have completed their sentences just does not make sense as far as the supreme court is concerned.  But they seem to look the other way and allow burdens beyond anything I have ever seen in my life other than Iran, Russia, Cuba or other countries that just can do whatever they want to their citizens. 
Freedom is not free, but denying freedom at some point is preposterous for those who have served their time and not committed any new crimes, especially decades after their sentences were completed.  We seem to be the lepers of the new generation.]]></description>

Being Pagan, I just would like to put a candle and a sandwich out for Halloween, but am banned from having outdoor lights on during Halloween. The candle is to light the way and the sandwich is a meal for the passing spirits.]]></description>
