Watch Jim DeFede Shut Down Ron Book
One of the best videos ever! Watch as CBS4 News’ Jim DeFede shut down a very arrogant and ignorant Ron Book.
This one is certainly going to become a classic! It’s posted on his Twitter as well (those who have access should post comments https://twitter.com/DeFede)

i had a thought.. according Ron Book, among other politicians and various judges, RSO’s are ” hard wired” and will offend again.. my interpretation of this ” hard wired ” comment would fall under mental illness, so why cant all of these people who are homeless and or unemployable be classified as disabled and collect SSI ?? i mean after all, it is the politicians and judges who are the ones telling us that we are mentally incapable of being around others??
J,
It would not be SSI, it would be SSDI (disability), and as long as you are more than 55yo, you cannot be “retrained” in any line of work. You can claim PTSD, severe depression, Bi-polar, just to name a few.
Check with a Psychiatrist, psychologist and have this all documented. Then check with a GOOD Social Security Attorney.
I, NOR FAC, ARE HERE TO GIVE ANY LEGAL ADVICE.
Not asking for myself, i am very blessed to have a stable job, but there are so many RSO’s that cannot find work as they are unemployable by the opinions and scare tactics ( not facts ) of so many politicians and judges. IF they were to declare that RSO’s are ” disabled ” and started having to give them a SSDI check, how long do you think it would take before someone in our government figured out the registry and designation has to go ?
j good point
As I understand it, Florida has more sex offenders registered than any other state in the US. How? When an out-of-state SO visits FL for any reason and registers, that SO is permanently registered as though their crime occurred in FL! My husband and I visited friends in FL for one week several years ago and discovered later than my husband is permanently registered in FL as though he committed a crime in FL! FL refuses to remove such SO’s from their Registry.
I think a Jim Defede had a good idea meet everything Book has to say with research, prove he is wrong. Show people that he is just acting on his own revenge, and guilt.
i just seen this:

page 18 FALSE STATEMENTS
Ron Book Knows or should have known the fact that 90% os sex offenses come from within the home or close acquaintance and he should also be aware of other fact’s since he is involved in his daughters’ so-called nonprofit yet I think he still makes false statements or what can be construed as false statements, thus could he actually be violating the law and be liable for deception as page 19 states?
Ron Book- his Daughter Lauren Book have made a carer-fortune using those on the S.O.R as a political foot ball to kick around for their fame-fortune
Great job to the reporter!!
Book is a wingnut! Society did not decide that registrants should be treated differently! The supreme court made one errant decision regarding retroactivity, at the time concerning a list.
Weasel legislators and lobbyists have used that to consistently enact laws that are more and more restrictive. Some get challenged legally and win. Some lose. None have been back to , and decided by, the supreme court, which is what is needed.
Just like we ask for a chance to correct our ways, and show that we have changed, the supreme court needs that chance as well.
Lets give it to them!
Ex-post facto now!!!
So many false and easily reputed statements came from that idiots mouth it’s not even funny. But we’re spinning our wheels here needlessly folks. As long as Ron Book has the money that he has, the power and influence that him, and now his daughter have, we are facing an uphill battle with an active volcano at the top of that hill spewing hot molten lava that is flowing down hill towards us and burning us up. Ron Book has had well over 30 years to entrench his power and influence, while many of us are “newly-minted” RSOs who are now entering this battle and realizing what we are up against. So with that being said, and I’m just being real here folks, UNTIL someone who has some decency, integrity, and BALLS , oh, and lots and lots of money and power themselves……..and dirt on the Books, and is willing to stand up for not just us, but for all the people the Books have screwed over the years, then we’re simply just wasting our time and energy ranting about this guy. There’s NOTHING that you and I can do about him. He is simply too entrenched in the corrupt Florida political police state that none of us “average joe’s” like you and me can do anything about it. So, I’m not trying to piss on everyone’s corn flakes here, but it’s the truth is it not??
BUT………Ron Book’s own words might come back to bite him in the a$$. He said that society has deemed us “different”. OK, well it seems to me that the tide of public opinion in South FL might be turning against him and that society down there might start deeming HIM “different” and an unwanted nuisance. You see, public opinion, like Ronnie eluded too, can be a powerful thing. The good people of Miami are getting a LOT of NEGATIVE attention about this transient homeless RSO thing both in local, regional, and in the past, national news. And people like Jim DeFede are bringing much needed light to it, and you can tell that Jim himself is really getting tired of the situation as well. So hopefully, this will be the beginning of a huge negative opinion campaign against Ron and maybe will be the pebble that begins the “snowball effect” of bringing him and Miss Precious down for good. Who knows. We’ll see. But the “nail in the coffin” so to speak will be that somebody way, way , way high up on the political, money, and power spectrum will have to stand up and use his influence to bring an end to this madness. But until then, I will confer with a much Higher Power Who can most certainly do something about the situation and give us true justice. He is a just God and He hates oppression and injustice. Ron Book is truly treading on unholy ground here and I guess he doesn’t mind contending with the Lord on this one. I wouldn’t want to stand next to him during an afternoon summer thunderstorm we’re going to have coming up here real soon LOL.
Together we can be beat Ron-Book… and to your question on digging into the Book’s background would just require all of us chipping in and hiring a Private Investigation firm to do our opposition research
