Thank you for sharing this

Jack, I had to come to the decision a long time ago, if someone doesn’t like me…that’s their problem, not mine. Life is too short to worry about how narrow-minded people think. It’s just not worth the time and effort. I know that my failures have been corrected, and that is all that matters. God has given me the peace that I can experience each and every day. I wake up looking forward to each and every day. Taking on politicians that are prejudiced against registered citizens is a challenge…that is what I trained for, and also is ‘fun’.

Don’t get me wrong, there are registered people who are being treated way worse than me. It is not even the registry per se. It was once Nextdoor app came out. People who have known me for 30 years suddenly saw me as a monster. I mean what changed? The fact I am not required to notify my neighbors so Nextdoor did it for me? Sound like now notifications go out regardless of if it is required.

Jack, sorry to hear about your situation. When I first moved into my neighborhood back in early 2004, I had a couple of skeptics, but now I get along fine with everyone, and I love my neighborhood. God has answered my prayers. My children and their families have relocated to Brevard County, and we are living a very comfortable life. I even get along good with the SORT supervisor.

Ironically anyone who had any connection to my case have never bothered or contacted me. They did not even show up to court to dispute anything I said. Having said that, neighbors and people who do not even live near me make it a point to make my life miserable even though they have zero connections to me in any way, shape or form.

I mean if I want to stretch it, the ones on my street may have a tiny fear but come on, people driving an hour to protest at your house is just someone screwing with you. And I agree things will be peachy in Heaven, but right now we are in the Devil’s domain, and he makes sure to bother us at every turn.

If all who were guilty of sin were to take such action, the world would have no population. Fortunately, my faith and trust in God acknowledges my sinful nature but allows me to repent…do a 180ty…and return to a productive life. Anyone who says they have never sinned, is guilty of lying. While sin is ugly, forgiveness and restoration is beautiful. We have all done things we regret. We cannot undo those things. We can, however, receive forgiveness and move to right wrongs. That happened in my life 24 years ago and that forgiveness has restored my family and we live in each other’s love and God’s peace. Some may be anti-religious but as for me, I know that God has restored peace to me and my family.

I wish all the defendants who are found guilty, took the same actions. It would keep our prisons from being over crowded and save Billions of Tax Payers dollars.

It’s obvious from the news article that this teacher is a young and pretty woman. I’ve noted over the years that prettier women are treated more leniently than others. Although judges here in Michigan are now trying harder to treat all men and women equally as harshly because of public outrage. Years ago, a male teacher was discovered by police naked in the back seat of his car, with a 15 year old girl who was also naked, and another 15 year old girl in the front seat. No charges were filed. He was allowed to resign and take a new teaching job in Texas.
His father was the school superintendent, by the way. Just another example of the huge disparity in how sex based offenses are handled, depending on who you are and who you know.

Registration is an integral part of the sentence. It’s just that courts have usually held that registration is simply a clerical requirement. Nothing collateral about it at all. It’s explicitly written right into the law under which you are convicted.
