My name is Dennis. I usually go by the name Tired.
I live in the villages in
Sumter County. A number of years ago I was called bthe deputy in charge of registration and was told that there was a county fair in sumter county and that I was not allowed to attend. Having no interest in going in the first place I didn’t pay it any attention. But after reading about NC, I thought I would simply mention this. I guess I am used to having my human rights taken away from me.

In reply to mbgodofwar. All sex offenders ARE considered violent, in Florida.

Given the whole boogieman vibe to the SORs, I’m not surprised that all sex offenses are considered “violent.” They tack this on as flavor and “reasoning” for having this doxing database. See how much better it sounds to say, “nonviolent drug offenders” vs “violent cartel thugs?” Unfortunately, states/federal governments make this nonsense adjective just because they said so.

In reply to Entrapped. With all the real unsolved crime in our nation, it never ceases to amaze me that some so-called law enforcement officials have time to create 'phony crimes' to justify their existence.

It gives lazy politicians and sheriffs the opportunity to sound like they are doing something about crime without actually doing anything. They all need a boogeyman to stay in the press.

Editor?? Your article States "The U.S. Department of Justice reports that 70% of sexual assault occurs in a home; outside of residences." Perhaps you could clean that up - is it "in a home" OR "outside of residences" ??

I can only speak for our case. However, I am sure many others Should Not be on the registry. The sentencing my son received shows that there is corruption in the courts. Caught in a child sex sting, the Kind judge gave him a downward departure. The statutory reason was (f) the victim (the police) was the initiator, willing participant, aggressor, or provoker of the incident. However, I do not see how this was not entrapment and the case should have been dropped. I guess they just follow the easy money that the stings bring in and continue to fill the registry.

We will never find external peace until we attain internal peace. I do not speak from theory but from experience. I feel deep sympathy for those who are unable to forgive. If we cannot offer forgiveness, we will not receive forgiveness. I would like to have the time to investigate the politicians who are so set on unforgiveness. It falls into the category of passing the heat to someone else to keep the heat off of oneself.
