Now TS there is nothing wrong with love or Christian understanding. Its the right kind of love that counts or should we count our blessings everyday that we can breathe each morning, or are we ourselves suffering by this ill will that mankind has put on some in this protection ruse called the sex registry.

Even some of those authorities do not practice what they preach. Sure I hate this registry, the method, the deceit to put a Stumbling bock upon many all over the USA. Call it blind justice.

Yes. IT knows about the problem, but due to circumstances beyond our control, it could be a short time before the problem is taken care of. In the meantime, we can do it the old way — check the site daily on our own until the problem is remedied. Thanks!

@RM – Up until about 1993ish, the age of consent in Florida was only 16, provided the minor was not of “previous chaste character” (i.e. a virgin). After the county discovered that my 16yo “victim” was not a virgin, they dropped the charges against me. Sadly, the victim’s family then insisted that I had been intimate with my “victim” before the age of 16. I didn’t fight it, but would now if I could go back in time.

You hear from murders that a murderer is not as low as a sex offender. Then you come into these postings and hear sex offenders telling you that they are not as bad as other sex offenders! This is about the Unconstitutional Registry not who is better than who! We need to remain united against the Registry and never take our eyes off of the ultimate goal!

Don’t lump those Christians who do practice what you say with those hypocritical Christians who don’t. It is like not lumping all people required to register into the most dangerous person required to register category regardless. It works both ways.

Also, capital sexual battery is “contact or union with” this means that someone who inappropriately touches someone under 12 in a sexual area (does this include upper torso?) has committed a crime punishable by death. It is surely not what most people envision when they think of a predator. They assume the worst.
I know there are horrible people out there and a few wear the predator label. But i would submit that most wearing the predator designation are not anywhere close to what people think.

AND DeSantis just made the death penalty easier to get.

Logic might tell you that if guilt needs to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt and requires a unanimous jury, then the death penalty requirement should be even more stringent. Maybe something like, beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Nope, reasonable doubt is the same bar but the jury requirement is much more relaxed, requiring only 2/3s of a jury, not unanimity. Fricken insanity.

Very good point, and I agree.
