In reply to KEVIN M. His friends and loved ones should insist on an investigation. I monitor the news daily for an update and there's nothing.

In reply to Florida Action Committee. Yeh i found out after i posted my reply. I know for a fact there is no way he would have cut his bracelet off. He was taken and killed.

As I read the post about the sex offender who may have been murdered because of his committing an unacceptable offense. I was reminded of a time when I was in Michigan prison of a man who did the Heimlich maneuver in the chow hall of a man who had committed an acceptable offense. As the staff watched this sex offender stood from his chair and gave the man the Heimlich maneuver removing the beef from his throat. It was pretty clear that this man may have died at that point. So the warden put an accommodation on his record in his file stating that he had saved the life of another inmate. It’s funny how people view sex offenders as the evil but, in this case it was the sex offender who saved the other offenders life. Any thoughts.

Yet another example of the “non-punishment” sex offender laws putting people at risk of vigilante “justice.” I am apparently one of the lucky ones who has only had his house and car egged and his attempts to make a living torpedoed by card carrying members of the general public. I am a pre-2004 registrant, so I am not hassled so much by the police, etc. It is “The People” who have caused me the most difficulty over the past 10 years or so.

As long as Marion County and the rest of Florida,continues this ” Witch Hunt” on sex offenders, nobody will be safe. If I didn’t already have a steady income,an approved place to live and supportive friends and family,I would probably be living on the street now. Law enforcement and our so called justice system, lies with impunity and dreams up charges to fit their own agenda. Actual “justice means nothing to LEOs or the court.To bad they and the media either won’t red this or if they do they won’t admit to their roll in this “Witch Hunt”

Absolutely horrendous, and let us keep tabs on their investigation into this.

In reply to Florida Action Committee.

And the good folks at the sherriff’s office seem to be ok with that….no response from Hernando County and 165 comments at the moment, many of them asking for the shrriff’s office not to investigate.

I think two or three of them acknowledged that the victim was actually a human being.

I know how we are viewed by society, but man, that comment section really hammers it home. I actually feel badly for those people.

Might it be that the assailant cut off the monitor in order to conceal his actions and not the ‘victim’. Why does it always seem to charged that the SO is the one who destroys the bracelet?
