Ah, Maestro, I find your naivete refreshing as you have just asked what we all at one time, way in beginning also asked. It’s really simple: Adam Walsh, Jimmy Ryce, Megan Khanka, Jacob Wetterling and folks feel free to chime in with whoever i’m missing. All true horror stories to which the country went absolutely star-craving bonkers and the rest is history……

One day, I’m going to tell a judge either myself or through a lawyer, “Meghan’s Law is a powerful tool that needlessly shatters countless lives forever. It’s cruelty and evilness lies in the fact that I’m not the one who raped and killed Megan Khanka and I ask the Court to force the State and its citizens to stop treating me as if I did.”

Amen start in Jax,Miami, and Polk co. Grady etc may be mad but good!

Men with old convictions were just hiding in the shadows, waiting for their next victim, according to this thinking. Their risk of recidivism remained “frightening and high,” in Justice Kennedy’s words. And if the public weren’t better protected from their urges, their next victim could end up like Jessica or Megan.

Which we now know to be nonsense. But it takes a long time for the law to catch up with the facts.

Because people are hateful, self-righteous, and unforgiving. They are not doing this out of a sense of concern for child safety. This is all about making “these scum who prey on our innocent and helpless children” live in dire misery the remainder of their lives. They see it as child molestation forever ruining a child’s life, so they think turn-about is only fair play, so they designed this byzantine code of draconian laws to achieve precisely that end.

Look at the other article on how jail and prison turn-keys stand there and allow child molesters to be murdered in prison. This is what society really and truly wants. Ask anyone! Most will tell you a rope or a bullet is too quick for the likes of child molesters.

IT IS NOT FEAR! IT IS PURE HATE AND AN UNSLAKABLE THIRST FOR THE MOST PAINFUL RETRIBUTION POSSIBLE.

You hit the nail on the head which is that they go for what will get the most voters. But that’s both political parties. Especially with “just believe her”.

But my point being that people with sex offenses back in the 70’s and 80’s and before that lived in neighborhoods and near schools and didn’t have all these restrictions, so where did the lawmakers come up with these idiotic ideas and why did people buy into it?
Lawmakers and the public both act as if sex offenses started with Jessica and Megan and never before those two kids.

Bob, I really do agree with you on what the true definition is for conservatism. I admit I used a very broad brush to paint that one. I guess a better way for me to express it is that the legislative body hides behind the broad badge of “Conservative”. Their chameleon like behavior is tailored to whatever the predominant attitude is among their constituents. They don’t stand for what’s right they stand for whatever gets the most votes. I guess my opinion of being conservative is based on growing up in Florida. The conservatives I knew as a child were racist, judgmental, and arrogant.
Until we can begin to overcome the fear mongers in Tallahassee and change the the public’s perception of us we can only hope that the judicial system sees it from a different perspective.

People just don’t want someone living near them whom the state publicly classifies as undesirable or worse.

They’re wrong, of course, but that’s why SORRs remain popular everywhere.

This city has no such courtesy. They were sued.
