If by worse, you mean the people who make the registry laws and those who support them, then yes, it does seem obvious that people in Florida show a degree of depravity and inhumanity beyond that of the average American.

I personally do not live in Florida, and if I were there, I would be making every effort to get out of there before judgement comes down on that state. Trust me, it’s coming.

I think we could make the case that always dumping registrants in the county jails is unfair and that groups should rotate having to use the jail as accommodations during emergencies. Of course, they would have a fit over suggesting that “normal” people take turns sleeping in a county jail during an evacuation, but that would certainly make their hypocrisy obvious.

I hear you Tired but also keep in mind that FAC is filing lawsuits on our behalf. I don’t see too many other organizations in Florida doing that. We have to keep fighting, when we stop the fight…we lose

Too many of “US”, like to hear themselves talk. It’s a sad state that sleeping in ER’s is even an option. The FAC is a nice club to belong to, but it’s preaching to the choir. We need someone with a platform who others will listen to.
Can’t give up, but after 17 years, like my name says, you get TIRED.

I agree with tired, I don’t think there is an association to draw here, but LE should know any jail setting could be triggering for some folks. I’ve seen homeless sleep in ER waiting rooms. An option?

The Twitter outrage would be off the charts There would be calls to boycott Silver Springs and all the other tourist attractions. The papers would been to public outrage and blow-back resulting in a retraction AND an apology for offending.

This is just one example of society’s hypocritical selective outrage. Hell catches on fire when blacks or gays are openly disparaged, but when a swipe is made at us, you get snickers, jeers from the hate mongers and crickets from the authorities.

I’ve become so disaffected with America.

You will never successfully fight hate with logic, reason and facts.

Or churches. My old roommate got grief from our PO for going to a food drive at a neighboring church because they offered child care there.
