Pushing the Books out of a moving car, for example, as recently suggested below. I get that it’s a joke, but perhaps not the funniest one, and someone will wrongly interpret that post as a threat.

I also get the impulse behind planned public acts of retribution (as suggested in the same post about pushing certain ppl out of a moving car), but please, whatever your planned public act of retribution is, just be sure, if you have not done so already, that that planned public act of retribution is within the law.

Call me a humorless party-pooping buzzkill (or equivalent) if you wish. I’m just trying to manage risks to our position. Personally, were I the moderator, I would have kept the offending post unpublished, but it’s not my platform.

Tom. you have the right idea about pushing back. It would help us immensely as well if NARSOL would publish a roster of all Congressional legislators who DID vote for these laws so we can know who to target for primaries when their terms come up for it and then lobby like hell for someone to challenge them with assurances of not only registrant support, but that of registrant families and relatives. This approach would work especially well in national elections.

Push back? Yeah, I have a few ideas of how to “PUSH BACK” push those idiots Ron and Lauren Book out of a moving car. THEY ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF THESE HATEFUL, FEAR BASED LAWS…I didn’t do anything, yet but I’m planning on a PUBLIC display of retribution, since my name and details are PUBLIC so will their punishment be PUBLIC. I was falsely accused of sexual battery against a mentally challenged woman. lying asses…now im screwed for 10-15 years. Luckily I live in OHIO not FLORIDA, ground zero for naming and shaming.

Jay, there are almost a million registered sex offenders in the US. most I’ve talked to don’t want to push because they don’t want to bring more attention. I feel that if offenders United, found a Congressman that plays well with others, some good changes could happen. It would require some research though. To know which Senators apposed some of the current laws would be a good place to start.

I think laws should focus on rehabilitation. In many cases the victim does not hate the perpetrator but just wants the abuse to stop. I know several men who abused their own children and as much as society wants to hate this evil monster, the victim doesn’t want him to have his life ruined. They want the perpetrator to stop doing those things and in many cases would give anything to be part of the perpetrator’s life. Media never talked about what the victim wants if the victim doesn’t want to hate the person who committed the crime. And in fact what I’ve noticed the media only reports on the ones that they can paint as horrible monsters. If the victim said she/he doesn’t want the perpetrator to get a lot of time in prison and he gets a fairly soft sentence, the media’s agenda is to get people mad about the light sentence and won’t even mention that is what the victim wanted.
