I am not now nor have I ever been a registered person. However, due to the way this country creates sex offenders from ordinary people with their unconstitutional stings and brands people as monsters for even the most minor trespasses and with nothing more than an accusation, I refuse to help any child. If they fall down in the street, it is up to them to save themselves. This is what their witch hunt and registry has come to. Rather than save one child, they have condemned many children who will not be helped by many who feel like this.

In reply to Riff Raff. This is why law enforcement agencies should be taken to task over social media posts. Their opening statement alone just serves to incite violence. The fact that people are openly discussing violence on an official police post is appalling.

So, basically, your future dangerousness matters, as far as the registry goes, but your immediate actions, which cause the loss of your own life to protect others doesn’t? “People change” does not apply to our class of people! America is a Dictatorship at this point! I, personally, used to stop and help stranded drivers, which I haven’t done since my conviction. After reading this I doubt seriously that I will ever consider helping my enemies again! Or contacting authorities about crimes that I witness. We are to understand that we are no longer citizens and are treated as such no matter the good that we try to do, even at the cost of our own lives!

In reply to Riff Raff.

Are you surprised at the emotionally charged, but ignorant, comments? I didn’t read all that many, but my question to you is this… Did you post anything regarding to true statistics of reoffense rates and such? This “may” be an opportunity to do so.

No, I do not have, and certainly do not want, a Facebook account.

I, too, have to recommend Fox News reader comments caught by Derek Logue.

In case we can’t post links, it’s the story, ‘Man who died trying to stop Safeway shooting rampage had a criminal past: Donald Surrett, Jr. was previously convicted of child sex crimes’

Many of the comments were:
– Why are we bringing this up now;
– Obviously he’s changed;
– He’s still a hero.

In reply to Derek W. Logue of OnceFallen.com. If one convicted for a sex offense needs to die for redemption, can we all just rename ourselves Jesus? Jesus 2 through Jesus 900,000 and counting. For me, not named Jesus, I was redeemed when my victim not only visited me in prison but hugged me and said I love you when I got out and still does today, 20 years later. Society still hasn't redeemed me. The commenters may say thank you to Donald online but I guarantee you they think he deserved to die.

I was a little bit uplifted for lack of a better word when I read most of the comments to this story after it was posted on Fox News of all places and many were positive.

At least in this instance, many folks see Donald Surrett as a man who redeemed himself.

In reply to Tim P.. At the end of the day, I can't allow people to lord over me being on the registry. What is more important is the decision as to how I choose to live the remainder of my life. I cannot say that I would be willing to sacrifice my life for others just as easily as I could save my own life. However, I will not let being on the registry be the dominant control my life

In reply to Tim P.. Tim, I understand your perspective completely. Although I'd like to believe that my better angels would prevail, I might hesitate or walk away. Registrants are defined by their worst action, not their best nor even the bulk of a life well lived. It is truly a shame on many levels.
