You get the idea. Sorry folks but one crime should be no different than any other. I think the sex offense hysteria stems from puritanical ideology. Like they say let’s keep the lists growing so we make sure that everyone is on a name and shame list and keep those people away from their “temptations” too.

Sometimes’ Fairy Tales’ become brainwashed truths–in their minds it seems to be!

Why stop there? Doesn’t the same logic require a DUI registry, with those on it restricted from car dealers, parking lots, houses with driveways, gas stations, highways and freeways, and so forth? Not to mention bars, liquor stores, or buildings with refrigerators.

Who gave this snatch her information? These people come up with these stupid assumptions and quote it like it’s a verified fact.. I’m getting really sick of this shit and feel like the only change will come through forced means..

I wonder if this applies to VA assisted living facilities also.

I’d encourage any member with this sort of insight to volunteer for FAC’s Elder Committee.

Spot on !! Riff

Unfortunately it seems like it is just a matter of time for all counties to pass ordinances to match the same residence restrictions as those counties next to them. So, while a county like Pinellas may be using the 1k foot rule, they are very likely to go to higher 2.5k rule that the state allows and other counties have in due time. Just look at the recent Martin County ordinance and the logic behind the change. Maybe, since some counties have their own “animal abuser” registries, they need to start looking at making those people abide by a residence restriction too. Maybe those individuals shouldn’t be allowed to live within 1k or 2.5k feet from groomers, shelters, veterinarian offices, etc. since their target victims congregate in those places and those people might be tempted to look at the dogs and cats. And they definitely shouldn’t be visiting friends or family who have pets. It’s the same logic just a different victim. I don’t think RRs help in any of these matters; they are just a set up to cause a tangled and wide web to get people tripped up when they try to get some life back.

Yeah, What he said.
