More Than A Quarter Of Boston’s Registered Sex Offenders Are Homeless

Boston is grappling with a homeless offender problem.  This, in spite of the fact that the state’s Supreme Court struck down residency restrictions in 2015.

According to the Sex Offender Registry Board, Boston Police are trying to address the problem. They currently have a federal grant to help cover overtime costs so officers can check up on homeless sex offenders. The Registry Board says it “…works closely with local and state police to provide them with accurate and timely information that helps police officers determine whether a homeless offender is in violation of their requirement to register.”

How much does that cost?

    Let’s not forget the vitriol being spewed by “victims’ advocate” Wendy Murphy:

    “This is the type of criminal who wants to do anything but tell us where they are. Yet we’re giving them the power to game the system.”

    Gee, how much “power” does a homeless man wield in Boston? Not so much here in Floriduh.

    She bleats on, “if you say that you live in a place that isn’t on a map, or any one of these other tricks, then you should have to live on a bracelet, you should have a GPS device attached to your body.”

    How much would that cost?

    Let’s take a look at this “advocate.”

    Oh look, she’s a lawyer with a hard-on for “sex offenders:”
