@Botticelli if the first thing that pops in your head when you hear the phrase “children snuggled in their beds” is something inappropriate then you might be the problem.

TO: Longmont (CO) City Council
Date: May 18, 2025
RE: Potential Registered Sex Offender Residency Restrictions

Council Members,

Is Longmont really an unsafe place to live in Boulder County where drastic residency restrictions against registered sex offenders are required? Upon recent online research, the greatest fear one has is the possibility of an unborn fetus being abducted. There is prevailing fear being mongered by those who know no better than to create hysteria of registered sex offenders living together in one house or within short distances of places where minors may congregate or be. You should believe the science presented to you on this topic like you did when Covid hit and took its toll on Boulder County along with Longmont, but lives were saved.

There is no problem with those registered sex offenders who live together in one sober house for purposes of their sobriety and recovery. Why are they in a sober living house to begin with? Does anyone know why they became addicted in the first place? Maybe they suffered at the hands of others? Do you know? Those in recovery work with those who are experts in helping those in recovery as well as supporting each other. Is there any instance where a critical mass of registered sex offenders living together has caused problems in society let alone Longmont? Maybe Longmont should outlaw sober living homes where those who live there decide to relapse and then do something drastic to another person or people in mass. You never know. To protect the Longmont citizens, maybe only one person working to be sober in life should live among others who are not at least 500 feet if not more away from those areas where minor congregate or be. Never know when they’ll relapse and do something to a minor (or anyone for that matter). People fear mongering has created an image in your minds of a group of people working to better themselves and get healthy salivating at the very thought in plotting to do something heinous to a minor. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

You do realize that a distance restriction will NOT stop anyone from doing anything no matter what it is? You do realize that by creating these alleged safe living bubbles, you are creating safe zones for those who in positions of trust to do sex crimes by distraction in getting you and law enforcement to look elsewhere? Yes, family members, educators, law enforcement, coaches, clergy, group leaders, medical professionals, people who are NOT on the registry, et al have been convicted of sex crimes against minors while those who are on the registry are not statistically likely to repeat a sex crime. You do realize you are begging for lawsuits and spending of local taxpayer money which could be used elsewhere in the city by defending this law? Pay raises for those who work for Longmont in any capacity is in jeopardy including those in city government and law enforcement. City public work projects and maintenance are in jeopardy. The raising of taxes to cover such legal defense and action is the only other way to meet all of Longmont’s other civil obligations as well. When was the last time a residency restriction stopped a crime? When was the last time the registry stopped a crime? Can you tell? Do you know? Do you really know?

Bottom line, you, the council, are being played by the masses, the people of Longmont, in a power play to see if you are soft or hard on crime that is not sure to happen, just as other jurisdictions have across the nation (and some who have had to rescind them (see California and Wisconsin). These people have created a fear for you to believe in (much like those in Massachusetts during the famous Witch Trials did to the masses) and see if you are willing to do a residency restriction with no science data foundation to it. Those who as for this are asking to make themselves feel good and for their own publicity, not for the city. What are they hiding? What skeletons do they have? Why are they barking the loudest? They are the ones people should be fearful of with their minds creating solutions to problems that don’t exist. The sky is not falling and these registered people don’t need to be the scorn of those who have nothing better to do with their time…being without facts at that. Don’t be played. Listen to those who have the facts and shared them with you. Don’t be afraid to do the right thing and shut down this idea.

I think he gave the cat wine to drink. My neighbor said to take to the vet. I will do that. It’s just scary because he is a sex offender and I had no idea. I recently moved to Florida and just see these signs everywhere like do not molest the alligators and do not molest this and do not molest that. What does it all mean?

Thank you. I think something inappropriate..

Bianca, we are here to help.

When you say “did something to the cat,” what, specifically, do you believe was done to the cat? Describe in full detail.

Did you take the cat to the vet?
