Connecticut advocacy group challenges sex offender proximity ordinances.
Connecticut for One Standard Of Justice an organization, who like FAC, is a volunteer-based civil rights organization committed to ensuring that persons accused or convicted of sex offenses are treated constitutionally and fairly by the state, filed a lawsuit last week challenging the proximity ordinances in Windsor Locks, Connecticut.
The banishment zones, which prevent those on the registry from being present in local parks, public schools, libraries, the Town Hall gymnasium, and Senior Center, seeks to set aside the restriction on the grounds that it is unconstitutional and violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
We certainly wish the best to the plaintiffs and offer our support to their challenge. We will keep you apprised of the progress.

Well, it’s like I’ve said before. If you want to banish us and keep us out of society, that’s fine. Just go find a nice little secluded island in the south Pacific somewhere (a la Tahiti, Fiji, etc….) and give us some basic infrastructure and a nice little grass hut complete with AC, modern amenities, and a plush ocean view and a local grocery store or Walmart and I’ll sign up to go in a heartbeat!!!! I mean the US already owns Guam and Hawaii, just set aside one of the Hawaiian islands or a section of Guam aside for us, and I’d be HAPPY to go. #f**kthiscountry
