Jackson County, Florida, Tries new approach to block registrants… shaming

Jackson County Florida is trying a new approach to prevent persons required to register as sex offenders from moving into their neighborhood. Hereafter, they will prominently place their name, pictures and other personal information on their Facebook page. According to this news report, “this measure is not for punitive purposes, but to better insure the safety of our most vulnerable citizens.” Yeah right!!!

Someone on the registry already living in Jackson County will not be posted on the site.

    By publishing information on Facebook, they just negated the need for the official registry, saving the taxpayers money!

    These are just dumb people who will continue to double down on their dumbness every chance they get. Their stupidity probably has no bottom.

    Other criminal regimes have been doing this for years. They can post their pictures. Only assholes will pay attention. Smart people will continue to ignore them.

    I love the “required to register” verbiage. But I’d change it to “forced”. With guns.

    Facebook has become monopolized by hate mongers, misinformed people and those that respond without any meaningful thought. Its about time facebook played by their own rules and stop this type of damaging posting. The recent one on the Oklahoma City Police facebook page where non compliant registrants were posted and a bounty offered by the police for their arrest, is an example of how far this has gotten out of control. I’m not absolutely sure but isn’t this unlawful?

    Maybe we should have an FB page that does the same thing for DUIs, and the local cops and politicians so they can see just how “un-puniitive it really is.

      That is an excellent idea. We could start with Ron and Lauren Book. Our politicians that hold office and end up being crooks. I could name a lot of folks that could be posted on our “NON Punitive” site. Believe me there are enough crooks, murders, robbers etc. that are more dangerous to society, then someone that relieved their self on a public lawn or a young couple that had sex and the girls parents decided to hang the young man because their daughter wouldn’t do such a thing. I am in no way minimizing rape of child molestation, but there are to many on the registry that don’t need their life ruined ,which the so called Non punitive registry does.

      Yeah, really, and then see how fast they cry out and do their best to force us to take it down, but, it is ‘Public Information’, so it can’t be illegal.
