Facts

That happened to me. I had a roommate at the time, and he woke me up and said someone shot through the window next to his bed. The next morning, I made a police report and got a confirmation but no visit or follow up from law enforcement. That was the last straw for the roommate and I never got another roommate because (A) it is hard to get someone to live with you if on the registry and (B) after that incident, I did not want anyone else to get hurt or bothered by my situation on the registry.

What happens when one of the jerkoffs shoots into a house and kills a small child? Even if the shot was a warning to the registrant, what sick bastard shoots at a house that may have kids? Well, the answer, they just don’t care and most likely was not one of our victims, but an A-hole vigilante.

No end

So sorry my friend that you have to go through that. This week will be my 22nd year off all sanctions. Three more years to go since they changed it back to 25 years. My luck, when I get to 25 years, they will change it to 30. At that point I would just give up and not care anymore. I try to be positive, but the “It is not punishment” bullshit doesn’t stack up anymore as even Satan knows it is punishment, and he loves that.
My health is failing and if I die, I hope they try and come dig me up for failure to register LOL

Are we supposed to take photos of the bullet holes in our wall, slashed tires and the glares people give us?

The evidence is apparent and readily available, yet they want us to provide documention of it. You can’t get more flippant and indifferent than that! Unbelieable.

I agree with your points.

conscience shocking, in a constitutional sense???

How about publishing a list that has the bona fide effect of creating a caste of hated and untouchable persons who are beyond all mercy or hope or love or compassion?

How about singling out a particular group and taking away most of their choices of residence?

How about making that hate list so public that people on it are fearful of their very lives and cannot find work despite years of trying?

The registry (and its consequences) shocks the conscience of any decent, thinking person! It shocks the very core values of our constitutional democracy! The values that this country once held so dear have been shocked! Values like redemption and second chances! Mercy and hope! The right to privacy! The right of freedom of travel! The right of human dignity! The right to pull oneself up by his bootstraps and start over! The values of truth and clear thinking reality versus blind hatred born of hysteria!

The registry IS SHOCKING AND IRRATIONAL IN EVERY SENSE!

I never said that all of them do – mine didn’t. But I do think that a child who is seriously bullied by their peers can have serious trouble developing socially. It sure as hell happened to me.

There several studies showing children of PFR’s suffer anxiety, depression, and all from the social aspects of it.
