Lakemoor man accused of creating homemade bomb with intent to blow up alleged sex offender

Prosecutors say a Lakemoor man created a homemade explosive device, which required the bomb squad to respond, and they believe he intended to blow up an alleged sex offender.

Savino said he went to the house on Darrell Road and was using the home for surveillance of the sex offender, Theis said. “This defendant is showing a fixation on an alleged sex offender that is supposed to live in his neighborhood. He broke into a house and used it as a surveillance post so he could watch the sex offender,” Theis said.

“There is strong evidence to support that the alleged sex offender was the target of the device in that the defendant is surveilling the home of the alleged sex offender, the explosive device was designed by the defendant with nail projectiles that would shoot out when the device was ignited, and the defendant had been at the alleged sex offenders house in the past,” Theis said.

    All anyone has to do is to look up the address of the break in and then look at the publically available map of persons forced to register if they wanted to further harrass the victim.

    The registry is state sponsored hate – nothing less!

      Asked this before, seems no one knows. How much money does Florida make with each new sex offender to the registry? And why would anyone want to be added to the registry?

        Florida does not disclose that number.
        We can’t imagine why anyone would want to be added to the registry.

        Two scenarios. First one is people like me who were re-retroactively placed on the registry that did not exist when our crime was committed.

        Second scenario is those who are arrested damn well knowing if caught will be put on the registry.

        Both of our groups (Yes including me) made some REALLY bad choices. Having said that, does a registry really stop anyone from offending? Well, apparently not because new people are added, on a regular basis. At the rate that people are being added, where does the bubble burst?

        They can build more prisons or let people out early so those who have a sexual offense can be incarcerated. I am surprised back in my day, we got a huge amount of gain time and early release. Later on after I was released, they started with the “85”% rule, meaning you had to serve at least 85% of your time before being released. (In Florida) And that was only if you had no infractions during your time behind bars.

    Terrorism encouraged and enabled by the registry. This is actually what the creators of the registry intended to happen. You’ll never convince me otherwise.

    WOW, that is one sick, deranged individual. He needs to be committed.

    The sad part is, the average person living in that neighborhood who has no clue about SORNA statistics, is probably worried sick about the PFR in the neighborhood yet that same person has no clue they live near someone who has been arrested 69 times as an adult and is obviously mentally unstable.

    One of these two people should be feared and its not the one on a registry.

      And the 1 out of 10,000 who re-offend are often a violation of registry like not registering an old broke down car in the back yard. Anybody among us who would commit another crime knows they would never get off registration if they have any legal mis-steps, no matter how petty they were. But sometimes the registration office was the one that made the mistake which can still cause us to be in deep doo-doo.

    From what I read in the article, that is the first time I have ever read a story that concerned someone who was a registered sex offender and their name was not mentioned, which is a good thing. Usually, even if the offender is a victim, their name is thrown around for “Effect”.

    But this also shows the lengths people will go to, to get rid of us, even murder, even if we have not bothered them.
