IN: ‘We don’t want you here’: Sheriff says over 1,800 sex offenders live in Marion Co., 52% aren’t from here

There are more than 1,800 sexual or violent offenders living in Marion County, more than half of which were convicted and sentenced from out-of-area, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.

As part of the office’s efforts to drive down the number of sex offenders in the community, the sheriff’s office conducted a sweep Wednesday morning near Brookside Park.

    I guess the people are saying that government is registering too many of us. I’ll bet if fewer were required to register, the people would feel more secure that they’re not surrounded by so much danger.

      @ RayO: I had a similar solution: if there are too many registrants for [their] liking, then UN-REGISTER some of them!! That will bring the numbers down and, once again, peace and love will return to the people of happy, quiet valley. LOL 😂😁

    Nice to see that the source article implied that a registrant was responsible for the murder of a woman. I’m waiting for registrants to be blamed for monkeypox. Badly written article fawning adulation to the sheriff’s office.

    More political theater in an election year at registrant’s expense. Give us back our franchise and we’ll show you who is REALLY not wanted here. Glad this isn’t in Florida but it still happens. “Law & Order” politicians…

    So, the Sherriff is TARGETING S.O.’s for “EXISTING” in the county lines. Wasn’t there a statute they expressly made it unlawful to utilize the registry to “target” S.O.’s for existing… …

    ‘We don’t want him here, either,’ said the 1,800 families.

    How gullible is WRTV? They admitted having 1,800 registrants in the county and did not attempt to interview even ONE. They just let the sheriff do all the talking while they nodded their heads.

    Gullible or lazy or both?

        Corrupt media and corrupt law enforcement go hand in hand – They support each other in manipulation of facts and go right to manipulating FEELINGS. Facts…who needs them when we have our feelings! HAHAHA
