The latest eviction order came earlier this month: Some 70 paroled child sex offenders, now living in a flimsy village of tents, cardboard boxes and rusty campers in an industrial zone just east of Miami International Airport, were told they had to find a new home — yet again.
Miami-Dade County’s Health Department posted signs giving them until Dec. 5 to leave, citing illegal camping and unsanitary conditions. Because most South Florida counties and cities have laws designed to keep them far from children, the options for moving are few and far between — especially when most of them don’t have the money or means to move into permanent housing.
In the past few years, similar encampments of convicted sex offenders under harsh residency restrictions have been forced from sites under a bridge at the Julia Tuttle Causeway, off of Northeast 79th Street near another overpass and out of an Allapattah trailer park. They’ve also been tossed from a warehouse district in Hialeah near train tracks and from another industrial section of Miami-Dade not far from the old Miami Jai-Alai Fronton.
“It’s like a game of Whack-A-Mole,” said Pastor Frank Diaz, who visits several camps around Miami-Dade each week to feed, listen to and pray with a group most people disdain as social pariahs. “If they’re gone,” he said, “who cares?”
While on the subject of the Crooks:

Why doesn’t FAC do the same thing?
Also, undoubtedly Daddy Ron will be funding the Broward Coward’s legal bills as he sues Governor DeSatanist for violation of due process.

I can’t believe the gall of this fu¢king arrogant coward:
It would be nice if registrants could also get due process!
Registrants are prevented from posting comments on this story— you have to be on Facebook, apparently.
And the comments are hideous. This is partly the fault of the Herald— while the story acknowledges a low statistical re-arrest rate, that statistic is buried among the labels the article uses for these homeless— “predators,” “pedophiles,” and (all over the place) “sex offenders,” as if these people are looking to go out sex offending again. No wonder the commenters and average people in general have no sympathy. At least use a more neutral, objective term such as “registered sex offenders” or whatnot (I realize “registrant” is still to vague for more people to get).
Yep. Exactly right. We have to convince media to do better. Even “registered sex offender” is not good enough.
Media should introduce the correct term each time by saying something like, “people who are listed on the sex offender Registries – Registered People”. That would be more moral and responsible.
All of my Facecrook accounts have been suspended or I would have commented. I’m going to create some more. But they are really trying to validate people more. Yesterday, they were requiring me to give them a phone number. So I probably need to get some more phone numbers. I don’t know. But as long as Facecrook tries to keep me off of their platform, I’m going to be on it.
I do think millions of people should start pressing media to move away from Facecrook because of their immortality. I’m personally attacking Facecrook by every angle I can find. If every person in Amerika called them Facecrook that would certainly have an effect.
Gave public danger it is said to result from what these sex offenders are expected to do. If we were to assume that they are predisposed to commit every opportune sexual act it is still difficult to reconcile with traditional American law, the banishment of persons by the county because of anticipated, yet uncommitted crimes. Banishment to protect society from predicted but unconsummated offenses is…unprecedented in this country and fraught with danger.
“It is a fair summary of history to say that the safeguards of liberty have frequently been forged in controversies involving not very nice people”
Did someone say “Bring it on”?
Please read the comments of the source article:
Greg Hamilton
“Is really a law which just makes their lifes uncomfortable. In comparison to what they done to kids lifes and their families. These human-trash should be put down. This article or a thousand like it will not generate and good-will public sentiment for these sub-humans.”
Joanne Kuder
“Can you ever stick to the topic? Bottom Line: It does not make society safer to incarcerate and upon release treat citizens like a dog or wildlife to be released in the Everglades.”
Greg Hamilton
“Joanne Kuder then again you don’t really want anyone incarcerated. Neither do I, execute them all. They will never be anything but what they are today.”
Ramesh Nyberg
“I refer to what a convicted child sex offender once said to me: “Please make sure they don’t let me out (of prison) – I WILL do it again.” Pariah? Credible threat is more like it. It’s an unfortunate situation all the way around, but peoples’ fears are totally justified.”

“Douchebags comments you are all sex offenders, you just have not been caught”
Lenny Feinman
“The problem is where to live, and nobody wants one in the neighborhood. I know one, as he lives where I do, and a “Neighborhood Check” shows I have 98 offenders within a mile of my home. The one man that I know has never talked about his crime, but he is married with children, and is an in home caretaker of his mother-in-law. I know him as a “nice guy” who would not hurt anybody, but apparently I don’t know his darker side. People who sexually abuse children do not ever belong back in society. They have an illness you can’t see, but it can’t be cured either. I think about who the early Australians were, and I wonder if all of them can be shipped off to an island and forgotten when they get out of prison. And, why not expand the prison system to include dormitories for people who did their time but can’t go back to society?”
Only one rational voice and she is attacked. Just as in Poke County, there aren’t enough “good” people in Miami to move the scales of injustice. Lady Justice must be crying behind her blindfold.
I want to reply to these comments, but when I click on comments, nothing comes up. Do you think the comment section is already closed out? These comments are horrific and are coming from possibly the most ignorant people on earth. Do you think the Miami Herald staff said enough is enough?
Appears that to comment you had to be logged into Facebook?
I did log onto Facebook, but I could not get the comments’ section to open up.
SarahF, I had to click once, then wait and click again for it to come up. The “good” people of Miami are liking the vile comments, sickening.
More idiots chime in:

Joanne Kuder ur exactly right because it promotes recidivism, but dont get me wrong, just a hair above an animal in the Everglades is all I think should be done. The cheapest form of walls and a roof is it.
Mike Vidal
I think we should send them all to Jeffery Epstiens island and let them fend for themselves.
John Voss [thinks registrants are on parole]
I’m no fan and I got two daughters 10 and 8, however this current policy makes no sense. If we never want them to be near kids ever again, then awesome, make mandatory life sentences. I would support this for second time offenders. However, if we aren’t doing that then these stupid rules show them that society thinks they are animals and limits the chance of rehab. I actually lived by 36/biscyane and 195 when the camps were out there. When they moved, I thought the city had relaxed the rules. Sad its still going on 10 years later. Why not give them all GPS’s and if you get within 100 ft of a school the cops get an alert and you are automatically violated your parole. But let them live with family and get a job and pay taxes like the rest of us. We let murders near people, we let people who bounce checks near banks…..

FINALLY!!!!!!! COMMON FREAKING SENSE. I have been saying this for years only to see reactions of rejection, idiocracy, and misunderstanding. First it hampers the ability to track them , but MORE IMPORTANTLY IS THE CONDITIONS THAT CURRENT LAWS MIGRATE THEM TO ONLY BREED RECOMMITTING. Bottom line!!!! There is NOTHING TO REFUTE THAT. HELLO!! PRISONS &JAILS ARE BETTER LIVING THAN WHERE THEY ARE NOW. FK THE “EXCEPTIONS” AND “POSSIBILITIES ” THAT GET MENTIONED OF STATISTICS NOT NECESSARILY RELATING LIVING CONDITIONS TO RECIDIVISM. That’s what they are…POSSIBILITIES and EXCEPTIONS to the rule. It might not sit well that better conditions need to be provided and I understand but it’s either that or more victims. Which doesnt hit home until it’s your child. Remember that these acts completely RIP away their childhood and mind for their ENTIRE LIVES! So someone please make a sensible decision. It doesn’t need to be 5star living. But at least something that inhibits stability and the steps towards change. Thank you
Greg Hamilton
What many are missing is society overall wants to get rid of them, it just hasn’t figured out how to. In the mean time they are treated “rightfully so” like the subhumans that they are. Jut like others identified with same sex, transgender, etc., these trash identifies with children and they won’t change. What is best for the children who are the future is to end them all. Many worry about the environment and the future of the planet, this is more important. Its happening around the world it’s an industry.
Obviously the hateful “people” commenting are nothing but morons. I often like to think that about 95% of the people in Amerika are selfish, self-entitled morons, but I’m not sure what the number actually is.
I have wondered if perhaps only 5% of Amerikans are true pieces of sh*t like the “people” who comment on these articles. I wonder. I mean, if you are not against Registries then what kind of “person” would you have to be to comment on these articles? I wonder if perhaps just most of the decent, normal people stay out of the Registries witch hunt. They just don’t want to think it even exists maybe? I don’t know.
But I’ve said it a thousand times – I strongly believe that these qualities positively correlate with support of Registries – immorality, low I.Q., uneducated, low self-esteem, poor, irresponsible, unsuccessful, and persecuted. I would bet anything if it were studied, the results would show that. There’s nothing wrong with most of those qualities, as long as you aren’t like Registry Nazis and harassing other people just to try to make yourself feel better. I expect that most “people” who comment in support of Registries are sub-human idiots.
Oh well. What I often like to do is put a comment on these articles that links people back to this web page, for example. Then the sub-humans can come to this page to read some actual useful comments from good people. An added bonus of it is that we can talk about the sub-humans all that FAC will allow and they won’t be able to respond. Pretty much like the sub-humans are trying by banning Registered People from Facecrook. So yeah, let’s take away their voice. Don’t comment at these articles except to put links back to places where the comments are moderated by decent people. I’ve posted links to ACSOL discussions before.
I would do exactly that but all of my many Facecrook accounts have been suspended. I need to get some more created fairly soon but I’m seriously short of time these days. Trying to do a lot of cool stuff that has nothing to do with Registry Nazis. I did try to create one just a few days ago but it lead me to a request for a phone number (then it wants to send a code to the # to validate it). I’ve already given my own phone number probably 10 times but at some point the Facecrook idiots will get a brain and start to correlate all that. So I’ll get some new phone numbers in the future once I get around to caring enough.
I have numerous Facecrook accounts that have been suspended and are pending reinstatement if I would send Facecrook a picture of myself. I won’t ever send my real picture of course so I also need to get around to creating some fake ones. I expect I can find some software that will create faces for me. Meh, might get to it one day. So little time.
In the meantime, how about someone with Facecrook access post a comment with a link back to here? Let some of the sub-humans read some real comments.
Concerning Facebook wanting a picture, my 12-year-old grandson told me to take a picture of a black surface and send it in. He said they would take it. I did and it worked.
Much hate dripping from the above comments. I understand the sentiment.
But we will have to confront the fact that most of our opponents on this issue are semi-informed and believe they are doing the right thing.
If I’m wrong about that, we still don’t do society or ourselves any favors by accusing others of being sub-human. If we did that, we’d be repeating the same thinking errors that brought us registries in the first place.
I tried logging onto Facebook and clicking the comments multiple times. I must be doing something wrong, but I am finally figuring out some things about the twitter world.
Some of those people and their tweets are horrible. These people are just plain stupid! They are not bringing out the best in me. I have tweeted back things that I have never said to anyone in my life.
Apologies if I helped introduce you to Twitter. Believe it or not, there are thoughtful, supportive people there as well. That is what has surprised me the most about Twitter. That and occasionally seeing people persuaded to change their minds about an issue.
Btw, if you’re not yet following researcher Guy Hamilton-Smith, you should.
…and anyone you feel you can’t deal with, you can just block and/or mute them.
“coming from possibly the most ignorant people on earth”
Ha! That really made me laugh!
Yep, have to agree with you. “People” who support Registries are ignorant. Most are stupid and hateful as well.
Please read the other comment that I just made to JZ below. Someone should post a comment at the article that is a link to this page. Let those cretins come here and read some comments from decent people.
Nothing will happen until we get national attention of the inhumanity thats going on. A show like “Vice” does stories where they champion the little guy i wonder if there is a way to get them to see whats going on right here in Florida
Most “people” in Amerika have no concern at all for inhumanity against people listed on their big government Registries. No amount of showing that is going to help. A different tact is needed.
We continue to call this unlawful punishment imposed by home rule Counties, that which makes it unlawful for those convicted of a qualifying sex offense from establishing a residence within 2500 feet of a school, remedial.
This ordinance is a punishment illegally enacted by the County, the power of which is reserved to the State.
If this ordinance is consistent with the personal liberty of citizens, why may not a County impose a residency restriction where African Americans, Hispanics, gay men or women may reside?
If there is no “Right” or protected liberty interest reserved to the people of changing one’s situation, (whether it be residency, employment, or educational), of their own free will and inclination, then there can be no of discrimination.
This personal liberty interest of changing one’s residency, is do deeply rooted in our nation’s history and traditions, that it is the very essence of freedom and cannot be infringed unless for punishment of a crime.
Sounds like a good argument for a ballsy attorney to say in a court room. Too bad there aren’t any ballsy attorneys.
