“I will chase you till I die, that I assure you.”
“I will chase you till I die, that I assure you.” is the closing line of a letter from Lobbyist Ron Book to an individual in a complaint he filed against a pet shop that had allegedly misappropriated his parrot. Last week Book filed a small claims lawsuit against a pet shop owner who allegedly failed to return his bird, “Blue”. Apparently the bird died while he was at the shop.
Of course, whether the parrot was stolen, died or flew away, the loss of a pet is sad no matter how it happens and we can sympathize with that. The content of his letter, however, gives us some insight into the man’s venomous personality.

This is COMICAL…Where does he get the $8K Figure of damages!
I can attest that he is man of venomous behaviors as I am in the receipt of 4 nasty emails with which he responded to me using the ‘F’ word repeatedly and other vulgar language towards me, which is libelous, along with his Dauta Lauren reporting me to the State AG, wherein I reside, in which she complained that I was a threat to her simply because she was emailed several questions….So, the the AG last year sent out a bunch of LEO’s who tried to question me, which is illegal, and my Pit Bull escorted them immediately off my property…I have since sued the AG here and I will go for the Jugular….so, you see, the Book’s appear to be very tarnished people who just don’t give a damn about anyone else, but themselves
Oh, poor, Bird Blue….hopefully the bird is resting nicely, away from this bombastic character
Again, COMICAL….I hope the DAUTA, is weeping with him in his Wheaties!….I can’t stop laughing….this is a Frivolous lawsuit….The bird blue, probably flew away, on its own volition, fearing the return to his palatial estate!
$8k, in alleged damages…what a crock!
Wow Ron needs that parrot back because the bird is tells him what to do.. I Reread the Letter and I can sum it up in a few sentences.. holy $hit these man is insane. He is breaking the law here I guess you are rich you allowed to do that “gonna chase you till I die…” Threats, stalkings,harassment
He knows where the skeletons are the pols are frightened of this pos
Lmfao…
Are we seeing first hand the harm primary and secondary victims of CSA display?
I’m no fan of what the Books have done but on the same note I’m no fan of what I’ve done either.
Maybe I’ll get negative feedback for this but are we scorning a father who feels deep hurt for the harm that was inflicted on his daughter by someone he himself brought into her world? Man, that’s gotta suck.
Can we simultaneously dish it out but not take it?
Haven’t we caused harm? Do we ask to be allowed to move forward?
Not justifying his or Lauren’s behavior just saying maybe there’s an explanation like maybe there’s an explanation for what I did or maybe there’s an explanation for what you did but that’s not justification.
He and Lauren need to reevaluate their approach to this problem for sure. God forbid we take a more European approach which has shown to actually decrease instances of CSA. Shouldn’t that be the goal rather than vengeance?
Thanks for your time.

Michael,
Letās take another unpopular situation into consideration, shall we? Here goes….
Legal age of consent in MOST states is 16. But many times itās not the 16 yr olds who date or mess around with older people. Itās almost as if when we turn legal age we know itās not illegal for the other person anymore and therefore kinda takes the āthrillā out of it. But those UNDER whatever the stateās legal age is, tend to think itās ācoolā to mess around sexually with an older person. Like I did when I was 15 with a 22 yr old woman. Then, I ended up messing around with a 15 yr old after a very heartbreaking divorce.
These types of relationships are seen as āconsensualā by the DAās and the lawmakers, which is why they are given the āin the 2nd degreeā title. But these relationships are illegal. Understandable. Now then… hereās the problem with Ron Book and his princess… What happened to Lauren was NOT consensual. Not in any way, shape or form. Lauren was not and (Iām assuming still is not) a lesbian woman. The nanny was/is. And this nanny took advantage of Lauren AGAINST Laurenās consent. And now the Books brigade sees ALL offenses of a sexual nature as if they are the equivalent of what happened to Lauren. Much the same way that most people view all of us as if we are the same type of person as the man who kidnapped, raped and murdered Megan Kanka.
I would love to see the registry abolished, but since thatās most likely not going to happen, I would like to see that situations like my rendezvous when I was underage as well as what I (and many others have done non violently) when I was an adult get considered to be NONREGISTERABLE offenses. Only IF a person is a repeat offender going around hooking up with underage teens habitually, maybe then it would be a required registerable offense because the person shows they just have a thing for going after underage teens instead of legal age or above legal age.
So the Books donāt really care if youāre an older person who had an adventurous fling with a consenting teen or of you were a teen who sent your love interest a nude pic, the Books lump everyone into a single basket called āscumā.
This is why many of us find it difficult to feel any empathy or sympathy for the Books.
Also, yes, he himself brought this nanny into his daughterās world. And Iām 100% positive that he did extensive background checks on that nanny. Obviously. And obviously someoneās CLEAN BACKGROUND does NOT predict what they may do. It actually doesnāt even give anyone a clear cut view of who a person truly is. Just because a person never got caught selling cocaine out of their back door on the weekends doesnāt mean they didnāt sell cocaine out of their back door on the weekends. Itās just not on court record so therefore āperfect angel! Youāre hired!ā
I hope this example helps you understand why we do not like either of them. They literally make the situation stink more than it has to. They have pushed it to the point of being āattention vampiresā. And they feed off of fear. Period.
I like points both you and Michael made. As far as the demand letter Iād do the same thing if someone took my dog.
In his interview with the BBC about a year and a half ago, Ron Book made a chilling statement —
“No matter what, you commit a crime against a kid, we’re treating you different. You committed a crime, a heinous crime. You stole a (pauses)– you stole MY DAUGHTER’S CHILDHOOD, go to hell you son of a bitch! And that is why we require you to be registered, because we want the public to know that you are a potential problem.”
Lauren Book in the same BBC interview, “But if you commit a crime against a child, if (stutters) that is the kind of (stutters) thing that turns you on, no, you shouldn’t have a seciond chance, Why. Because, I, I, Lauren Book, is not willing to allow you to have a second chance.”
i’d keep these two statements in mind. There’s no reasoning with these two, they are fueled by hate AND they treat every Registered Person as if they personally sexually abused Lauren. They are completely unhinged.
My father use to always say….when you know someone’s story their actions make sense.
Those words have served me well and as you note, it is not justification for an action(s) but an understanding.
That’s easy.
Most People Forced to Register (PFRs) probably did something bad, perhaps something heinous even, in the past. How long in the past? Decades. They were punished for what they did. They paid grave consequences. Personally, in my opinion, I’d say that a lot of them paid well too much. But that’s another argument.
The point is that PFRs did something and were punished for it. That is all over and done. I am listed on the Hit List. But I’m absolutely not an “offender”. I’m just a good, moral, productive person with a great family that big government keeps harassing. What would I be if the Hit Lists didn’t exist? A better person. A less dangerous person.
The difference between me and the Books is that I am a good person. They are harming people today. A LOT of people. They’ll be harming people tomorrow. And next week and next year. They are actively committing crimes and not being appropriately punished.
It’s that simple. Most PFRs are good, moral people. The Books are not. Unless they can repent and stop harming people, they deserve all the consequences they get and probably more.
Are you stupid? He is an evil greedy soulless prick of a human being.
“Maybe Iāll get negative feedback for this but are we scorning a father who feels deep hurt for the harm that was inflicted on his daughter by someone he himself brought into her world?”
I doubt either of them are “suffering.” Both use the situation to make them politically unassailable, and effectively so. Between Ron’s lobbying dollars and Lauren’s victim status (which she rushes to remind people of frequently), no one in the Florida legislature is willing to oppose them no matter how ridiculous their proposals.
Michael, if this man does feel deep hurt for his role in his daughter’s abuse, then he should accept responsibility for his decisions and deal with it. Isn’t that what SOs are constantly told to do? His scapegoating of all SOs is directly analogous to a rapist blaming the victim. I can’t say that I have tremendous sympathy for his years-long denial and self flagellation, particularly when it results in pain for so many others. Man up, Ron!
The “chase you till you die” remark could not be construed as an unlawful or a physical threat. In the context of the entire sentence, he is threatening to pursue civil action. However, that vitriolic language is just another indicator that he is an irrational and bitter man with severe anger issues.
Veritas.
OMG! I thought you were quoting the police inspector from “Les Miserables”!! š But you were quoting an equally thick sod!
I would like to know why he took his second bird to a person that he claims already had one of his birds die in his custody? Personally, I wouldāve found a different person to take care of my bird. Iām with some of you others that said you think that he was perhaps abusing the birds. Iāve had birds and Iāve been around parrots and I know a little bit about caring for them. They can be very delicate creatures
This is the type of threat that can get Ron Book disbarred or suspended from practicing law, according to Florida Bar rules.
