This makes more sense than a blanket category for all.

While in Florida I sought out legal counsel on whether I need to register. The answer was surprisingly “NO”, but to be sure I got a second opinion. Having said that, I decided to approach the dilemma of Florida’s harsh laws as a chaplain and community activist. Justice MUST be tempered with Grace to be Justice, otherwise it is revenge and such is NOT our place against another. Revenge is the opposite of Justice. While at the capital as a chaplain I made some head-way. Getting clergy involved and on-board with the position of Grace (ie. Matthew 25:40) we might make head-way to getting a tiered registry in Florida.

In reply to Dustin.

@Dustin
It makes A LOT of difference if the only reason he pushed the law was to beneift a family member!!
There are NOT very many instances of where family members in high places are caught, and oftentimes they are swept under the rug, so advocacy from the upper eschelon for new, reasonable, and fair laws is scant at best.
If they only way that change comes is through instances like this then we are going to have to wait and endure these senseless, punitive laws a long, long time!!
Regardless of who you are related to, ALL of us are human and no one is better than anyone else!!
We ALL put our pants on the same way–one leg at a time!!

What I’m seeing is that it’ll take a legislator’s friend or family member to get caught up in this web to get them to make more sensible sex crime laws. But it’ll also take another generation or two before there are enough registrants-to-be with friends in high places for that to begin.

But don’t grudge the accused or the legislator in this case – they get plenty of that everywhere else. It’s hard enough to get lawmakers to act sensibly in this particular arena. Getting grilled by even the registrant community only makes it worse. And honestly, what difference does it make if the only reason he only pushed sensibility to benefit a family member? It needs to be done, regardless.

Hate all you want if he tries to repeal the new law next year or campaign season. But for now, just be glad for the modicum of sensibility, regardless of how or why it came about.

And don’t for Diddy, who masterminded getting out of the most heinous crimes even having guns with removed identifications in his home. Hmmmmmmmm

If the registry is fair and not punitive. Then racisim IMO dosent exist. They can’t both be true at the same time.. Although they are not really connected. Both statements that the registry is NOT punative and racism is not real are both lies. Also the government will never allow for a civil war in the country. That would disrupt there cash cow economy and impede there ability to hold power. Never gonna happen. They will do what this law makers did. Makes laws to force there will on the people.
Land of the free is a long gone illusion.

just look at the Epstein scandal if you need to know how the wealthy get treated . Does anyone really believe Bondi “lost the files that were on her desk” that Maxwell is in prison for sex trafficking to “nobody” that Epstein was “suicided” for his connections to noone? The day those Elite predators face justice and get a large dose of that “civil” registry is the day the justice system finally gets fairer for the poor ..

The title is condemning of the senator, and most people know that those who are politically or judicially employed are protected by those in the legal system, so the people do know what is going on here and are not looking at it as being soft on sex crimes, but a double-minded, politico-legal system who will find ways to protect those whom they want to protect, and then oftentimes rake through the coals everyone else.
It has been this way for thousands of years.
A story like this needs to make national headlines so everyone can cry ‘foul’!
