A Connecticut Superior Court Judge allowed a Rocky Hill Nursing Facility to remain open and servicing its patients, after the Town tried to shut it down, finding the fact that it provides care to prison parolees does not violate Rocky Hill’s zoning code.
The Hartford Courant reported that “neighbors testified during the trial in August that the presence of sex offenders had caused unease in the neighborhood and real estate professionals testified that the facility had caused property values in the neighborhood to go down.”
A judge didn’t buy it and found that just because the facility serviced an unpopular clientele, it should not be forced to go through special zoning approval.
Off topic but now that craigslist had shut down it’s Personals Section of their website here in the U.S. what will law enforcement use in the future to set more of us up for persecution
They probably realized the ONLY people still using their site to meet others were law enfocement
The future of RO successful reintegration isn’t the Governments goal. Destabilizing Citizens is their goal. Conducting an information campaign focusing on discrediting & evicting tyrannical administrations should be a major goal for us. Among us are very intelligence,
able individuals with a myriad of skill sets . What I mean is using our Government’s methods to facilitate political character assassination by digging their’ skeletons out of the closet & showing the World how imperfect these people actually are. No dirt? No problem! Manipulate the truth the same way the authorities do or simply create lies to shame them. A cyber insurrection is the RX.
WTFTV Channel 9 will now starve to death for Sex Sting (entrapment) stories.
i hear that all the time anytime people want to stir the pot that property values go down when there are RSO’S living in the neighborhood. I call so much BullChit on that. Myself and many other RSO’s have been living in lake worth for 5 years now and every year the property values have gone up and up almost doubling from when i first moved here, if anything i have raised the property values not lowered them. i am sure whenever anyone says that you can check the actual records and see that the statement is false. Also a nursing home? you mean for old people? thats a problem in your community? not that anyone from one would do anything but especially someone in a nursing home that can barely take care of themselves. the people that fought this there is a special place in hell for them.
Nimby there also jobs in these wonderful place as everyone should gave a home
If a registrant has anything at all to do with property values, it’s that buyers can use him/her as an argument for a lower price on a home. However, there will likely be other potential buyers who are completely unaware of the registrant – so, I don’t see that as a big issue. Buyers have a much bigger aversion to run-down housing areas (where many registered citizens just happen to live), and those who would be concerned about registrants don’t even shop in those hoods to begin with. When I hear people complain about their property values due to registrants, I say ‘You, via your legislators, CREATED the problem – stop the registry if you want those values to go back up.’
I can’t help but wonder if the facility also serves drug dealers, armed home invaders, armed robbers, etc. No need for concern there? Unfortunately our society is gulping the coolade of paranoia being distributed by some of our ‘do-gooder’ politicians and ‘fake’ media.

Some times peace isn’t the answer folks!
Britain tried peace with Germany. We see how that turned out. You are right, peace is not always the answer.
John, you are so right. But good luck trying to convince the general sheeple of this country about that fact before it is too late. I mean, seriously, I don’t care what their past crime was, WHAT IN THE HELL is an elderly person in need of nursing home care going to do that is such a danger to society???
Militant sex offenders conspire to topple U.S. Government… I can’t wait to see what new laws you clowns cause.
Lots of terrible policy and misinformation is spread about sex offenders but screaming that you’re the victim doesn’t jive with the clean hands doctrine.
Do FAC, and NARSOL, and all the rest of us a favor: obey the law, follow your conditions, and document everything. If you want the laws to change then you have to show damage, repeatedly, over time. Instead of pretending what you have to endure is somehow worse than what you did to your victims and touting anecdotal slights at the hands of the government, prove your pain beyond a reasonable doubt so the rest of us who are working the system to make a difference can do our jobs.
Every time you say you want to shoot your legislators in the face you’re really shooting us in the back.
@C
What the hell is wrong with you?? Do you not see what is in front of you? Are you so blind to see that the U.S. Government has become a tyranny? Are you so blind to think that every single sex offender is really a predator with a real victim? Is not every family that has to suffer an injustice due to a Law Enforcement Officer being overzealous or wanting a conviction not also allowed reprieve with their relative after a time?
Wake up!
Great response!
Great response Anon. Yeah, so basically what C is saying is for us to just bend over and take everything up the a$$ that the govt sends our way. He will be one of the first to cry like a b**ch when the UN gestapo busts his door down and drags him to the concen…I mean FEMA camps to be “re-educated.” Which at that point, I’m sure he will just “obey the laws” and “document everything” and in time (what? 10 years?) the tide will start to turn in his favor??? GTFOH!!!! As you said, exactly, WAKE UP!!
@C
You’re therapist has brainwa….I mean taught you well!
Innocent children have been murdered because, and only because, of the Registries. The Registries breed hate and hate is what causes terror. It causes mass shootings. America has already reaped grave harm because of their Registry hate. I can’t see how that is going to change.
There isn’t going to be some effort to “overthrow” any government. But the damage is going to continue on a growing basis. People who support the Registries are truly too stupid to understand that and too arrogant to actually care.
And I need to add that these criminal regimes have proven that they can’t pass any law that can’t be worked around. So let them keep trying to pass their lame laws. They will continue to pay dearly for them.
C – your statement…
“Lots of terrible policy and misinformation is spread about sex offenders but screaming that you’re the victim doesn’t jive with the clean hands doctrine.”
The clean hands doctrine means if you come to court and are guilty of some type of outstanding crime. When you have paid your adjudicated price you hands are supposed to be clean according to justice….
well hoorah!
I’m good with that all the way up to the part where you assume everyone has a victim that’s the kind of false information fear mongers spread they say we all have multiple victims that we just weren’t caught with whether it’s one or in some cases none so please don’t generalize because that’s what legislators do. I do agree with staying complaint and letting the court system do it’s job because rest assured one day a overzealous law maker is going to add one brick to many and the whole dam is going to come crashing down meanwhile we keep chipping away brick by brick
All of us hurt someone, that’s why it’s against the law. Even online solicitation, you have an obscene conversation with someone you thought was a child just to find out it was a cop? You’re just lucky it wasn’t a real child and now every child and parent has to be afraid. Possession of child pornography? Think of those children now, grown up with the hurt from being sexually abused, but also knowing that you, a perfect stranger knows exactly what happened to them, you saw it, and maybe even masturbated to their abuse. They hurt now too because you participated selfishly in their pain.
If you want people to be empathetic to your situation you have to show empathy for the hurt you caused.
Or you can of course hide behind a Gadsden flag and scream at the top of your lungs, but I promise no one will listen to you after the Sheriff arrests you a second time or puts a “Sex Offender Lives Here” sign in your yard.
C,
i hate to tell you but you are wrong. I was uploading regular porn and 2 days later before i opened it i was served a search warrant and told that there was a video of an underage woman on my computer. now i never viewed the video i never solicited anyone i never touched anyone. on the advice of my attorney i took a plea because i was in possession no matter if i viewed it or not. he told me ignorance was not a defense. well i got a very intelligent judge who saw that i was not a child pornographer and gave me the lightest sentence(probation) possible and placed on my final order that there were no victims under 18 because i had not viewed the material. the only thing she could not do as a judge is keep me off the RSO registry which i have found is worse than anything else in the world. luckily i was also awarded the removal of many of the restrictions most rso’s have that the court could remove. Bottom line its a bad attorney not the RSO that is the problem in my case and i am sure many others and not everyone has a victim as you put it. ditto for the children on the RSO registry who are on for sexting or playing doctor or any of the ridiculous things almost everyone of us did as children.
Guys,
This isn’t about the underlying offense. This is about what occurs AFTER the sentence has been served. Whether deserved or not, all RSOs were sentenced and did (or will eventually complete) their time.
We focus on the registry, which is not supposed to be about punishment.
Some of our members did very bad things and some of our members, benign. Most were guilty, but there are some who are innocent. We have to accept that it is possible that some were set up by the police for something they had absolutely no intention of doing or by an acrimonious ex-wife. It’s not so uncommon. We are also not throwing people who committed horrible crimes under the bus either. This is not about that.
Not one of us should judge the other – it doesn’t matter for our purposes.
We advocate against offending and empathy for victims of sexual abuse. Whether we always had that empathy or learned it through therapy or whatever. FAC is does not advocate for sex offending – we advocate for management schemes based on empirical evidence (as opposed to what we have) and for constitutional rights for ALL individuals.
This is why you have a new member. I’ll be sending my donating monthly.
Hey C,
You DO realize not everyone is here for child porn….? If that’s your best “look at what you all did” go-to, then you’re just like the media. Taking the easiest way out. You don’t know my case, I don’t know anyone else’s case, but coming on here saying people shouldn’t scream victim and then turning around and saying everyone hurt someone?? No. That is not only incorrect but uneducated and I have a feeling you are just trolling for responses.
I was the lan admin when someone did their pic trading. Didnt pay attention i was liable for it happening. No possesion no distribution no viewing just didnt pay attention to what people wre doing. How do i fit in that statement
Meant to direct that to @C
C,
Lol
Online solicitation. Spoke with an adult about a threesome. Never saw a child or spoke to a child and adult was willing participant. Bought condoms alleged child was allergic to to show my intent….so yeah…hows that for hurting someone…
C – while I agree that those who view CP usually do not realize the continuing pain those victims endure into adult hood – I do not agree (as I know many do) that those that view CP are re-victimizing the subjects. I get tired of sexual abuse being made out to be worse than any other type of victimization. ALL victimization is equally as bad – but throw the word sex in there and it becomes the worst – that is a social construct idea many have been indoctrinated to believe. If you watch a show, read a book, etc, that shows actual crime scene photos of victims are you re- victimizing them? Of course not. If you rubberneck an accident on the road way where a drunk driver caused a bad crash are you re-victimizing the injured? The idea is absurd but that is exactly what many want us to think about CP – no one here thinks that responsibility should not be taken for any actions but I for one advocate for good sense. We have all seen photographs of victims – are we supposed to take responsibility for their victimization?
Well said
The problem is not trying to claim to be a victim in spite of those that were hurt, but being the victim of vindictive politicians after the price the justice system affixed to the offense has been paid. When the price is paid that should mean it is paid. Who would want to buy an appliance, pay on it monthly until it is paid off, and then find out that the loan company wants continued payments? No one in their right mind would put up with that. That’s what we have going on in Florida.
