@Lucy

Glad you took valuable time out of your busy day to come and share your thoughts with us. I will notate your concerns. You were probably not even alive when I was arrested, that&#039;s how long ago those accusations were made. 
Come back anytime to share your frustrations about people on here you have never met and probably never will. If it makes you feel better, come back and tell me what you really think.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I’ve heard it before where concerns are raised for the safety of one falsely accused of a sex offence and then completely dismissed for those of us who were correctly accused.

The sex offence registry is either inherently dangerous or it is not. The consortium of they shouldn’t be allowed to report a thing as dangerous only when it affects those falsely accused unless we as a society agree that the inherent dangerousness of the registry is acceptable. And if we do, shouldn’t we then agree that an inherently dangerous policy should then be considered a punishment as punishments often harbor acceptably dangerous consequences to an offender?


It&#039;s all about being defendable.

Ones ethnic background is defendable. 
Ones gender is defendable. 
Ones Religion is defendable. 

But then we get into another area. Ones activities. Can ones activities be defendable? Sure. Being an employee or enjoying a hobby. These are activities that can be defendable. 
But, can car jacking be defendable as an activity? How about thievery or robbery or sexual offending or murder? 

We are not saying &#039; I cook hamburgers for a living so therefore I shouldn&#039;t be discriminated against.&#039;

We&#039;re saying we did horrible things to people and we were punished. 
If the carjacker can move forward after punishment and we were both released from our obligations to our government then why must society keep adding these arbitrary and capricious restrictions and irrational carve-outs?
But wait there&#039;s more; &quot;Least Restrictive Means test. When the Supreme court, in reviewing the constitutionality of legislation, uses the permissive rational basis standard, it demands only that a law be a rational means for achieving a legitimate governmental purpose.&quot;
So if this logic is good enough for the rest of society then why not society&#039;s pariahs?

From a song I wrote; &quot;If I shoulda got life then I woulda got life.&quot;

End this nonsensical madness. 

The only good the sex offence registry ever did was to give politicians votes so they can restrict the lives of even more citizens.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I try and keep track of what goes on in the area I live in and I recall 1 story in the last 15 years where a &quot;sex crime&quot; occured and the perpetrator and victim were unknown to each other.  In every other instance, and there have been many, the victim knew the offender, just like the studies and the data have shown.  Everyone from preachers to guidance counselers, music teachers, friends of the family, boyfriends and girlfriends of the parent, step parents to the victims, etc. And just like the data shows, none of them were on the registry prior to the offense. Why this is so hard for politicians and people to understand boggles my mind but they sure seem to like to have a boogie man to focus on instead of educating people where the true threat lies.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great article! I cover these a lot on our YT channel - ICAC - UNPACKED!  

The perpetual punishment the public allows and the vigilantes and trolls exploit, is despicable. We need to keep calling it out.

Two years, a knuckleheaded Republican here in VA tried to expand the registration to encompass years before the registry was born (1993) -- so,  basically the dawn of time. We mobilized and soundly defeated it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The public views us with un-controllable urges to constantly offend and obsess over thoughts of wanting to re-offend. If we were all that sick and deranged, there would be a lot more instances. They label some predators but all of us are pretty much treated like we are all predators and just waiting for the right victim to fall into our trap. 
Some of these people who talk about us should get a job in Hollywood because they are very good at making up stories and scenarios that do not exist or are so un-common, it is like looking for bigfoot and claiming you found them up to no good. 
As they slap new laws, rules and regulations on us every single year, at some point we will be on house arrest for fear of leaving our homes.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Poster now you know how black people have been feeling forevermore in these United States of America.
