UK’s DailyMail got it so wrong!
We don’t know where to begin. A story in the UK’s Daily Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11495915/More-400-pedophile-dens-California-18-sex-predators-live-together.html) about clusters of housing in California that house persons forced to register, which they call “Pedophile Dens”, paints a grievously unjust picture of the situation.
From referring to the people forced to register as “Pedophiles” (which is a clinical diagnosis that most registrants DO NOT have), to suggesting the living arrangement is dangerous to the community (without citing any statistics that these areas have higher instances of sexual crimes), to claiming the residents share child pornography (it’s pretty harsh to accuse people of committing crimes without any proof that is taking place), the story is just a disgusting piece of journalism.
Please share your comments on the actual page. We hope our friends in California will speak out against this.

They’ve only posted one comment. Of course it’s an affirmation of the article.
The DailyMail is clearly opposed to freedom of speech and the truth as they have censored all comments that are based on research.
Has anyone tried to do any research into the background of this Nate Seeger? And what is a President of the Sacramento Co. Deputy Sheriffs Ass. What gives him the right to even speak in behalf of the City on this subject. Without his comments this article would not have been written. Sounds like he is move up the ladder wanna be. Making thought process assumptions as to what people are thinking and planning . Who does he think he is Jesus. This guy needs to be brought back to planet earth.
Sounds like the same thing the prosecutor did when I was convicted in 1997. He kept going on about he probably did this , he probably thought this, he probably will do this if he’s not stopped, he could do this . Absolutely no fact, no evidence, no proof of anything . Only hearsay and imagination. The judge ate it up like a plate of chocolate chip cookies for someone coming off of a marijuana high.
Daily Mail is saying: “No comments have so far been submitted. Why not be the first to send us your thoughts, or debate this issue live on our message boards.”
What is going on? Comments have been made.
No no
you got it all wrong, You see, what they mean is “No comments that we want to post have been submitted yet”. See I speak British so I just needed to translate for them LOL
I first saw this article on the DailyMail feed and there were no comments a few days ago. Then I noticed it seemed to fall off their feed in the same day. Then I see FAC pick up on the article, but it still was not in their feed any longer. And now several days out still no comments. Which of course means they are choosing not to post them. But odd how little time it also spent in their news feed.
I listened to a person speak who had given testimony on capital hill, of course on a different subject matter, and they were frustrated because they said they keep bringing up the issue but nothing ever changes or gets done. He continued on to say he asked someone (who works on capital hill, don’t recall the exact position, maybe a staffer) about this and they told him the best way to get any action/attention is if it is something the two parties disagree on because it is just about going against the other party. I just thought that was an interesting comment. And I think we can see how that does seem to play out in many ways.
Sad. What happened to integrity?
If the article spent minimal time on their news feed, then that is a GOOD thing, right?
Daily Mail has never really had integrity. But they’ve always had an audience.
Right now I am trying to resist the temptation to read too much into the fact that they have not posted any comments, pro or con. Could be any of a number of reasons, but at the end of the day I guess it’s their site.
I saw a comment elsewhere that someone opined that we shouldn’t make a fuss about this article because it was a UK gossip rag. But then Fox News picked up the article and ran with it.
This is one of THE WORST articles I’ve read in the entire time I’ve been an activist, and I’ve been around reading this stuff since 2004.
The ONLY use this article is using the quotes from Robin Sax and the other persecutors as proof the registry IS nothing but a propaganda tool. The prosecutors in this article made some of the dumbest quotes ever.
No surprise but the reporter was nominated for a Shiitake Award.
UK sounds like a Rhoda Berret Gossip tabloid of garbage in a superlative forum. Are we all in a Blind forum of paradox justice, where is the equal justice for America today. Hey I’m sure we all learned not to believe everything on the internet
Hey we all have views from Dereks views, Cherokee’s views, David’s even with some of his emotional face buttons’ and yet me and Cherokee do give at times biblical views, nothing wrong with that is there where is truth and fairness and equal rights today. its not in some tabloid or enquirer magazine.
Sure much of this registry can be about safety but its as abusive to those that are being conned out of their liberty and justice for all. Seems all of this registry is prepackages with the famous ‘Plea deal” scenario….. than their is the labeling. So how prepackaged can it get or should some ethics come into play in government. Is the sex registry the next headline.. The Great American Justice Scandal of the Computer Age which I’m sure is a human rights story in and of itself in this paradox of justice.

I get a Nickle every time you mention my name LOL
Merry Christmas (Or whatever you celebrate) to you and your family.
