What is snow? LOL

I was born up North, I last saw snow in the U.S in 1978. The next year my Dad retired from the military and we moved to Florida. I use to travel once a year and would see snow in Europe but with all the travel stops for registrants and me not having any income, all that went away. Now I get my photo albums out once a year and dream of what was and what could be.

BTW, I do not miss shoveling snow, or getting frost bite haha
I guess I counter that now with heat stroke here in Florida. *)~

I hear you bro. I had a neighbor who thought I was the nicest, greatest guy in the world because whenever it snowed, I would shovel the sidewalks of my neighbors or plow their driveways at no charge after doing mine because I’m up early every day. I would also do little things to help my neighbors without asking for anything in return. It’s how I am. I would be outside hanging out and they would come over and hang out with me, hand me a beer and just chat. Once they found out I was on the registry, I they suddenly changed their minds about me and I was seen as someone worse than Hitler. I even had neighbors move because they deemed me as someone to be feared.
My response? I don’t care. As far as I’m concerned everyone on my street can move out and I’ll have the entire neighborhood to myself. I’d find a way to buy every piece of property here then turn the street into a private driveway and gate up the entrance because it’s a dead end street anyway. I’m at the point in my life where I don’t give a crap what others think or say about me. If you don’t like me, stay away from me. It’s that simple. I have more than enough friends who don’t care about my past and I’m not looking to add more friends.
I had one neighbor tell me if I didn’t move, he would tell my landlady about me. I said go ahead because she already knows and doesn’t care because she calls me her best and favorite tenant. Hell, she even invited me in for lunch when I go pay my rent and she makes a point of bringing over birthday and Christmas presents for my family every year.
Checkmate.

@ Derek:

I didn’t see anything about the parents beyond pleading for her return. Check the timeline in the link in my other post below. The Placer County SO jumped to the registrant conclusion almost immediately after the missing person report was filed because they couldn’t find the vehicle. (Seems backwards to me – finding the car and not the girl is a much clearer indication of abduction, I would think.)

1900 man hours and God-knows how many dollars spent harassing local registrants netting 2 or 3 arrests and none of them had anything to do with the missing girl. Ironic that she was found by civilian volunteers within hours of their arrival, looking where deputies told them not to bother because they had supposedly searched it already.

I think the Placer County Sheriff’s Department should be nominated for a Shiitake, if you’re still doing that. They have GOT to be the most incompetent law enforcement agency in the US. If not, I’d really like to see who is.

What it IS doing a good job of, is creating offshoot registries like “Nextdoor”. It is worse than the registry because people who have not bothered me since the registry was created, now know everything about me and try every day to force me off the street.

People who use to stop by and give us food, now wish me to get hit by a car. I have never done anything to these people and many were not even alive, 32 years ago when my offense occurred. Even though I was released from all paperwork 20 years ago, I am still being treated like I am on probation.

I keep saying “I”, I know we are all being treated this way but I can only speak for what is happening to me and my family. The registry is 1000% punishment and does nothing to stop an offense from us but does a ton to cause an offense against us.

🤣😂🤣 I’m really getting a kick out you guys sarcasm.

I’m still looking for a single case where the registry protected the public or prevented a future sex crime by someone listed on it.

I’m still looking for even a single case of sweeps leading to a missing child saved.

Do you think they counted the registrant sweeps as part of 19k man hours spent trying to find this girl and if so, how much (betting around 12k)? Do you think they see the irony that a handful of private citizens found her the day after arriving acting from the same clues (the party at the campground)?

I sincerely hope the family remembers this incompetence when this sheriff is running for reelection.

Its because laws do not prevent crime. Laws only punish crimes. Legislatures can write all the laws they want until they’re blue in the face, but those laws will NEVER prevent a crime from happening.
At the top of Michigan’s registry page is the statement, “This registry is made available through the Internet with the intent to better assist the public in preventing and protecting against the commission of future criminal sexual acts by convicted sex offenders.” and I always laugh at it because having your name and details published on it does NOTHING to protect the public or to prevent future crimes. If it did, then wouldn’t it also make sense to make a registry of all crimes and list the entire population on it to prevent future crimes from happening?
