#1 F.A.C does not owe any of us a Damn thing

#2, If not for F.A.C, many of us would be in Jail, or in prison and if not for F.A.C I would be a very lonely person.

#3 F.A.C is not a bank, they rely on donations and with the money they get, they have to sometimes pick and choose the battles they take on.

#4 Sometimes me and F.A.C get into a disagreement, but I love them all the same as I consider everyone on here my friends and family.

In reply to Timothy Draper. Mr. Draper, I have no idea what you are talking about when you suggest anyone (other than the sheriff or lawmakers) "Caused" the ordinance or that we helped that person "cause" the ordinance.

This Putnam county ordence would never have happened if fac would have helped the 22 victims instead that help the person that caused it Julie Martin

I can’t believe this . I would like to know, of those 22 or so PFR, did any of them reoffend ?
Do you want them to ? Studies show that proper housing, resources and support is what is needed to help PFR re enter and survive .
I think a lot of fear mongering to the public with this registry, is causing mass hysteria in our society today. Instead of continuing to punish for the rest of their lives, oh, and even after death, the public needs to be more educated. Classes need to be held in our schools, telling children not to be posting things on the internet that will get back at them. PFR are not “stranger danger”, most are committed by family members .
Where are these PFR supposed to go ? Maybe back to prison . I understand there is funding for that. However, how much does it cost to have one person in prison ? We are at the point of mass incarceration. These PFR are not dangerous . They have served their time, they don’t need to be further punished, humiliated, or worse . This is unconstitutional, and against all humanity .

This is totally shocking! Where are these so called leaders getting their information. The ignorance is beyond me. I wonder if any of them have ever read a study or other information on PFRs. I feel like we are regressing rather than progressing in our current society.

If they at some point, they don’t start to allow some long timers off of the registry, eventually, the way things are going with arrests, registered persons could outnumber the average population. I was one of the originals in 1997, and since then, we are at about 1 million registered people and growing. That is not a good thing for either side.

We don’t want to be a registered citizen, and no one that is not one doesn’t want us anywhere. The bubble will eventually pop for better or for worse. Hopefully for the better. I do not know the stats, but I do know that people being added to the registry count, way outnumber those who are being removed from the registry.

I foresee more arrested, absconding, and fewer counties in our future. Florida counties keep tightening the noose, to the point of almost nowhere for us to live. The state is slowly shrinking, and there’s more people being placed on the registry everyday. Some of the other states, are getting just as bad, so the question becomes, where do they all get to live? Because if they all move to another state, you can bet they’re going to be another Florida!
