Some Jews were saying the same thing during Hitler’s rise to power.

The problem with such thinking is that, by the time your family is rounded up, it’s too late. While we have the Constitution as a force of restraint against such madness, we have had a history of preventative detentions during times of war and societal unrest that provide a precedent for future injustices. Once out of sight and behind fences, any number of individual atrocities are possible (as are going on today in our prisons). Could they exterminate all of us? I certainly hope not. I myself won’t go down quietly, that’s for sure.

When I was incarcerated, I personally saw military fighter jets encircle our prison routinely. Some conjectured that these were exercises intended to sharpen their skills should the US deem it necessary to eliminate prisoners during times of martial law. I have no other reasonable alternate explanation other than perhaps sheer curiosity on the part of the pilots. Either that, or they felt sorry for us and gave us a free show every now and then.

When people make such references, it is to make the point of what is POSSIBLE. We have already crossed a number of parallel milestones in our conduct toward those with sexual criminal histories. It is already happening. The purpose is to inform and prepare our population, not to win points with a hostile government and society. That would be a pointless endeavor.

JoeM,

How much longer do you have on the registry in your current state? I’d wait to complete your time on the registry where you are. It doesn’t make sense to move while still on a state’s registry only to have to potentially fight the new state to let you come off of theirs when your time would be finished.
If you don’t have too much longer and you can stick it out financially for now, just ride out your registry obligations where you are. When you are finally released from your state registry, then come to GA.
Yes, I’m in GA for over a year now. It’s great! Rents are cheap and in nice areas. I’m renting a 3 bedroom house (not apartment) for $1100 per month. I started in an apartment of only 2 bedrooms for $1280. Go figure.

Good point . The registry is just a different name for divisive actions preemptive of attempts at genocide . You can call it whatever you want but that doesn’t change what it is.

I will say, however, that PRE-Holocaust, during the first several years of Hitler’s reign (circa 1933), lots of burdens were placed on Jews that remind me of my own miseries under the registry. Jews were forbidden to travel to many places, to live in various neighborhoods, and to work at many locations. They were required to submit personal information, including their names and addresses, etc. to a central registry. They were required to have their passports stamped, and were required to wear markers on their clothing while in public. They were shamed and beaten up or killed by members of the community and by soldiers. Their neighbors wanted them gone! Does any of this sound familiar?

We relatives of Holocaust survivors should know better. If you can’t tell the difference between Nazi Germany and the State of Florida, then you are of little use to this movement, because you are the sort of person who will always be afraid, no matter where you go.

I’ll admit I’m wrong about this once the FDLE starts rounding up registrants’ families, shooting those families into mass graves, gassing those families with zyklon-b, and cremating millions of bodies. If that’s where you think we’re headed, then you got worse problems than this movement and should consider starting your own.

I recognize that I am likely to offend some people on here, but I feel like we all could use a reminder.

The problem with leaving if on parole or probation is that the state you want to go to has to agree to accept you living there through the Interstate Compact. 99 times out of 100, they will refuse, most often by making up rules such as additional residence restrictions that aren’t in the statutes.

The thing with the compact is that states entered it hoping to dump off some of their parolees and probationers with no intention of bringing in others. They’ll fight tooth and claw to keep those on paper from coming in.

Ivan, I am in total agreement with you. Unfortunately, it is the majority of states that treat the registry as a life sentence. Here in Pennsylvania, as a tier 2, I have 5 restrictions that I must adhere to. That’s all. I will forward those restrictions to FAC, both, for their knowledge and if they so choose to post and/or send to Tallahassee to show there ARE RESPONSABLE states that use the registry as mostly informative and less punitive

What you said sounds like good advice but if everyone did that these draconian laws would just follow you as more and more politicians grab ahold of the easy money provided by the registry for corrupt politicians. The only way it’s going to change is to stay and fight them, with whatever means possible.
