I&#039;m still waiting for someone to explain how one is considered perfectly sane at his trial or plea hearing, but somehow batshit crazy enough to force &quot;treatment&quot; when he&#039;s released from prison.]]></description>

We need to understand that in today&#039;s world, justice and restoration is primarily a thing of the past.  Some may knock me for my reliance on God&#039;s Word which is where both justice and restoration reside.  After grappling with my faith after my wife&#039;s death, I was able to recover...not in a church...but while incarcerated where we...all the &#039;bad guys&#039; got together to pray daily, and a group of real Christian men came to us through the Kairos program and restored me to the knowledge of the blessings I had received throughout my life.  My children and their families now live in Brevard County and one of my aims is to be a good father, neighbor, and church member in the eyes of God and my dearly departed wife.  If we rely on the justice and restoration of man, we lose.  If we put God and His people into the equation, we win.  I now live the life of a winner thanks to God and the people he has put into my life.  Florida Action Committee is one of those blessings.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Decades ago, there was a movie, Midnight Express, about the true story of Billy Hayes who was caught smuggling drugs out of turkey. He was sentenced very harshly and had a corrupt attorney.  After serving many years, his sentence was increased. Somehow, he escaped and the movie audience applauded. We all considered it to be a happy ending.  Can you see the parallel to the U.S.&#039;s justice system? I pled guilty to some charges that I did not know about and were false. My attorney should have told me of those charges. He also claimed to have never lost a case, one of many lies. He demanded the equivalent of $37,000 (today&#039;s money) and spent less than 8 hours on my case. He refused to return any funds.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This offender was just released from prison in June 2022. His arrest was for failure to update his drivers license within 48 hours, per the registry statute. However, since COVID, the DMV has not accepted walk-ins and instead requires an appointment. These appointments are taking months to obtain. Certainly no one is obtaining one within 48 hours. So isn&#039;t impossibility a defense to this bogus hold-over charge while they &quot;look for actual victims&quot;?]]></description>

The movie &quot;Minority Report&quot; is becoming reality.
Lets lock up people and punish them for a crime that has not happened yet, but might happen in the future.
Judges who allow people who have served their sentence to continue to be locked up indefinitely are the same kind of judges who think its ok for a cop to pull you over and take all of the cash you have on you and make you prove that you didn&#039;t steal it or got it from selling drugs.  Its called asset forfeiture, although a better term is highway piracy.]]></description>

He was seen talking to children huh?  Did this witness hear what he was saying to the children?  Maybe he was telling the children to get away from him.  Maybe he was saying something like, &quot;I&#039;m standing here waiting for my friend to come get me and I&#039;m not supposed to be around kids so please step back away from me so no one will think I&#039;m trying to do something bad.&quot;
Why assume the worst?  Just because someone is talking to kids doesn&#039;t mean there&#039;s ill intent.
I&#039;m an avid bowler and play on a couple leagues.  I practice twice a week, and during practice, there are often kids on a lane near mine.  If I see a kid get discouraged over a bad shot, I&#039;ll approach the parent and ask if its ok for me to give the kid some tips to help them do better.  Its about promoting the sport, not about trying to abduct a child.
People need to stop jumping to conclusions and thinking the worst about a given situation.]]></description>

I agree with you.  My 1993 conviction was based on a nolo contendre plea agreement.  Nowhere in that agreement was there any mention of a registry because a registry did not exist in Michigan then.  Its a breach of contract.  If you and I had a legal binding contract, and one of us breached that contract, a lawsuit would be filed to compel compliance with the contract.]]></description>
