“Even hypothetically treating sex offenders as a protected class,”

We’re not a “class” or a “group>” We’re marginalized subset of individuals that ONLY share similarity through the label.

When people on here refer to us as a group or a class, that only helps the enemy by bolstering their “public safety” narrative and all the rhetorical framing and fear mongering spin that goes with it. A “class” our “group” also implies that we’re all share the same deviant pathology.

We’re not vying for a spot in the Oppression Olympics. Society simply does not care we’re being treating worse than garbage. You cannot change minds on this subject through education, statistics or reasoning because hate and emotion will always override their executive functioning.

The above qualifies as a crime, hence the arrest.

And it’s an example of how the registry can result in more crime rather than less and therefore must be fought.

The registry creates more targets for criminals. That’s message that we undermine by labeling this incident what it is not. It does not and will not meet the public’s generally-accepted definition of hate crime, nor does it need to.

Much of this registry is a type of retributive justice with a type of lifelong hold and very evil in many respects in these Tier Classification. While the bible is the basic blueprint government doesn’t seem to recognize the Good book and abuse more. Was not the slave trade an abuse of one humanity and dignity.

Even these men that go to prison have a right to be free after their sentence and these teens & adults being set up via this internet are taken down the road. While the good news is Jesus never intended for one to be set up like this or who it being played out.

While its sad on governments part to play this game the good book never intended it that way and that is the corruption in government so we are not alone if one has an ounce of christian ethics. So wake up and stand up. (i, e, post this is need be)

Want some informative reading? Let me strongly suggest 2 books.
1. “On Tyranny: 20 Lessons From the 20th Century” By Timothy Snyder, Professor of History at Yale University.
2. “How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them” By Jason Stanley, the Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University.

Outstanding works both and in many parts very relevant to our situation.

Every time I see the persecution from our own government of persons who have only acted human, I am reminded of that famous line from that 1968 epic movie called “Planet of the Apes”.

Charlton Heston finally turned to them, when he had had enough (!), and he growled, “Take your stinking paws off of me you damn dirty ape!”

Well said Jacob. Well said.
