I guess someone didn’t let Ron Book’s “Homeless Trust” know about the reprieve, because according to Local10 news, “workers from Miami-Dade’s Homeless Trust arrived Sunday night with police to give the offenders their eighth and final warning.”

In fact, the Deputy Mayor had given assurance to Attorney Jeffrey Hearne from Legal Services of Greater Miami, who had prepared to file an immediate legal challenge to the (now 4th) forced eviction of sex offenders, that enforcement action would not begin until AFTER the 10th, which gives the County some time to consider their options.

In the mean time, as word got out that the County planned to shuffle the couple hundred sex offenders to an intersection in Southwest Miami, protesters from that area already started coming out with signs, objecting to the resettlement of sex offenders in their neighborhood.

Officials still don’t seem to get it. The only way to prevent this from happening again is to kill the ordinance that is causing it.

In the meantime, politicians make ignorant comments, like, Deputy Mayor Maurice Kemp, who said “we even give them rental assistance — up to six months of rental assistance if they can find a compliant address,” That’s like telling a legless man you’ll give him free shoes and then wondering why he doesn’t thank you for them. Rental assistance would be great is there was anyplace for these people to rent!

In the meantime, Ron “conflict of interest” Book is fighting like hell to keep enforcing the ordinance because it’s named after his daughter.

We’ll see how this plays out in the coming days, but it’s looking more and more like its going to be played out in court.
