I agree with David V C about the requirements for those who pass judgement on other fellow citizens but if that standard were adhered to no one would be qualified. The hope is that such tyrants and ‘murderers’…killers of hope… will get their just deserts when they face their Maker; otherwise, the world doesn’t make sense.

I agree! Last time I checked they put their pants on the same way we do-one leg at a time!
I also believe that those in authority should serve a double sentence when they are caught, because these are the individuals elected by the people to protect, prosecute, or judge, and are supposed to be of a clean nature, free from the crimes that they make judgement against, so that the unjust are not prosecuting the unjust.

Need evidence of such material on his computer. Haven’t seen a successful prosecution without it.

But without treatment, he’ll get himself in trouble again soon enough.

Senior intelligence analyst caught with child porn, lied about having it, got caught trying to use countermeasures to beat the polygraph, lied about the ages he was attracted to until he was boxed in and finally admitted he masturbated to fantasies of girls as young as 9 years.

He was fired, but not prosecuted. The law should apply to all equally, but we all know it doesn’t.

What can we as individuals and groups like F.A.C., NARSOL, ACSOL, and W.A.R do to pressure the gov’t to prosecute this man the same as they would any other private citizen? I don’t support the registry, but if we have to be on it, so should he!

I agree with dropping “offender” totally. My view is that any human forced to register is a law-abiding citizen just like anyone else until such time, IF ANY, they INTENTIONALLY violate the registry law or commit another sex-based felony. I use the terms “registered citizens”, “persons forced to register”, or “humans forced to register”. “Offender” designated on-going criminality. We are NOT offenders simply because we exist.

Thank you SarahF. Greatly appreciated!!!!

Spot on Will…

In the article it also implies that a background check would have eliminated the abuse. Also “the pervert law designed to keep perverts away from children supposedly didn’t apply” (on federal land). would seem to suggest that the perps were on the registry. Thw article sows fear and disgust and points to a functioning registry as the solution.

Don’t be sorry about it, you should do what you feel is right and owe no one any apology regardless.

Your writings are great. May I add some things to consider? I certainly mean no offense.

Regarding your “re-offense rate (committing another sex offense) in the single digits” statement, I guarantee that almost all people read that and believe that says that Registries work.

Could you change “Approximately 90%” to “More than 90%”? And then use “90+%”? Or is “approximately 95%” better? And yet again, people will interpret that to mean that Registries work, so I feel it always has to be qualified.

Regarding saying “sex offender”, I’d just like to personally reiterate that I don’t think it should ever be used, except to say that it is wrong and to introduce another term. I’ve been dealing with this Registries crap and reading a lot about it for over 20 years and I think that phrase has never been more wrong and abused than today.

The “#SexOffenderLivesMatter” is especially troublesome. I think most people will lose their little minds over that. And it really does solidify the idea that there is a group of crazy people called “sex offenders” that a few fringe lunatics think is important to not murder. That’s about it. We saw what happened when that coffee shop owner recently said that. He was almost burned alive at the stake.

#RegistrantsLivesMatter would be a LOT better. #RegisteredLivesMatter? That sounds more interesting and would probably make more people pay attention. Maybe #PeopleForcedToRegisterMatter? Although, I feel like co-opting into the #BlackLivesMatter phrase could be troublesome regardless.

I think we have to stop saying “offender”. A different letter that was just posted on this site says “an offender already cannot comply with the existing ordinance.” People who are listed on the Registries aren’t “offenders”. They simply aren’t. How insane is it that we have people who have been living completely lawful lives for decades and we are calling them “offender”? Every time we say “offender” or “sex offender”, we are helping to legitimize that THOSE people should be treated differently and they deserve special “restrictions”.

When I write a criminal legislator or similar criminals a letter, I always use PFR. I’m lazy and it is short.

No more than looting and burning down a business is considered protesting. True conservatives do not condone molestation or covering it up. Conservatives call it what it is, expect the perpetrator to pay a price, and then be restored. Note I said “true conservatives”. Then there are those who are perfect while all those around them are the ‘bad guys’. Many liberals tend to try to justify criminality if its supports some sort of agenda. Then there are those conservatives and liberals in the middle who just want to live a peaceful life and help those that they can. This is based just upon my experience.

I am sorry about the phrase “sex offenders” but it draws more views for us on social media.
