The David Pakman Show is a multiplatform politics and news talk show airing on radio, television, and the internet, hosted by David Pakman. Host David Pakman holds an MBA from Bentley University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and Communication from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
He gives solid reasons for changing his perspective on sex offender issues.
As for the damage done to family my step granddaughter always enjoyed our trips to the park , now has started school and would like me to attend functions . My boss held my job until my release only to be told by their insurance I could not be sent on jobs because of the registry , I was convicted of a misdemeanor given the max sentence then placed on the registry making it imposible to have a normal life for me and my family. my relationship with my family and friends has been irrevocably changed…
Wow ! It’s up to 859 comments. Well worth reading some. I figure the vast majority of these commenters don’t follow advocacy sites. The follow up show will probably have more by David as he asked for replies.
Are we allowed to be on YouTube without registering it She sheriff told me at registering if it is our email or attached we are fine??
Giving them YouTube account info, isn’t that going just a bit overboard?
Some of you people really could take it easy with volunteering so much unnecessary information that’s none of the politicians’ servants God damn business. You’re a human being and are entitled to privacy by default, no matter what some dumb*ss politician says. Don’t forget that.
The RSO laws in the several states are so vague, one wants to give them every URL one visits, lest they come back later and charge a person with violating the SOR laws.
wow, this guy should be in charge of our laws and policies here in Florida.
Politicians, Law enforcement and people in general, should watch this and take note. This is how it is to think things through in a calm way and be rational. Of course, the comment section on this Youtube video leaves me no surprise from those who do not think and emotions overcome. They are pretty much mixed 50/50 or so.
Well Bobby the problem is that the good old boy mecca that is Florida will NEVER vote in a progressive governor or legislature, like we just saw with this last election. It baffles me that these idiots in Florida, voted to continue to keep Prick Scott in office representing them. And voted in a guy for governor that essentially called his black opponent a monkey. And since we will never, ever get the chance to vote and have a say in the matter, I say this state can go to hell for all I care. I’m done and checked out a long time ago. It thrills me to see Florida once again be the laughingstock of the whole country with the recount saga. Brenda Snipes and Broward county are my new heroes LOL!! Siggghhhh this state is such a sh*thole.
Excellent video. We need more of this. Yet while he mentioned, as we all know, that there is no evidence that the registries have any effect on public safety– he failed to mention the effects they DO have: Destroyed lives, ruined family relationships, an increase in homelessness, banishment, suicides, inability to find work or housing, plus the collateral damage to everyone connected with the “offender,” even after he has served his time.
Can anyone direct me to help with children’s rights? My husband was blackmailed into accepting a charge, long story, he got three years probation. 16 years later our children are being effected still. The registration is a punishment to not only my husband, but also, more importantly our children.
Thank you for any help!
This is so important. Many of the 900,000+ RSOs are raising children. Yet a number of sex laws intended to protect children, in the hope of protecting at least one child, not only have been found to be completely ineffective, they actually are demonstrably harmful to the welfare of some children.
In terms of children’s rights, it probably depends on which rights are being affected in your case, by what laws, and in what jurisdiction.
Agreed. Post this on Pakman’s site as posting here is a little like preaching to the choir. Good for us to share thoughts.
But by also posting it at Pakman’s we reach a larger number of persons and thus can spread the information and change more minds!
i like Davids video , so i copied it and emailed it to the sheriff in lee co. sex offenders office
Here’s hoping that judges and influential people are listening so that at last real justice can be done for us all.
I am shocked and speechless. For someone outside of this issue to come out with such a calm and well spoken factual editorial as such…. maybe there is hope?
I was moved to hear this coming from someone NOT associated with our cause. I believe most people are fair. I believe most people are afraid. So if we can inform that hat we are not the PERPETUAL bogeyman, that there is low recidivism, then the logic this man used will be used by others. I do have hope. We are not advocating continuing crimes. We are not advocating to forget. We advocate for those that repent their mistake and want to reintegrate back as productive, caring citizens. We should all be given changes to repent and become better persons. I believe most people, if we can ally their fears, will feel likewise. I plan to reach out to him and thank him for his evenness. I suggest we all do because I am sure he will get tons of hate comments.
There are many angry persons out in the world, and they tend to vent their frustrations through issues such as this. We need to let him know there are other like minded supporters his stance.
