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:
https://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1103&context=cjlpp
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
Loved the intro to the interview Mr DeFede hit the nail on the head Ron Book took his guilt and anger and used it to get politicians who he funded to pass legislation he wanted passed. Even Book had to admit none of these laws would have helped his daughter and her attacker came from the 90 something percent the trusted individual the authority figure or the person inside one’s own home.
Book does have a criminal record and criminal past. We need to go after that; discredit him. Make him accountable for his actions.
The living conditions at the RR Tracks were no different that the Nazi Camps in Germany and Poland.
Book should be charged with crimes against humanity
Just seen this page http://www.ron-book.com very interesting
Concerned – I looked at the page. Not sure who made it but I have a few comments. First of all, I love that the person actually purchased a domain with the Book name – that is awesome! However, and sorry but I am a teacher and it is who I am (LOL), the website has many grammatical errors and misspellings. Also, because of the domain name it is a perfect opportunity to include links and other information to lead people to the facts about RSOs. The webmaster does have links to Book sites but also states facts about RSOs without any links. Also, I notice there are direct quotes from the posts on this site. I am not just trying to be critical – I want the site to be effective. Right now it just seems angry and probably will not be very effective. I can help. I have a generic email I can post and the person with the website can contact me. If I do not hear from anyone within a few days the posted email will self-destruct lol [email protected]
Karen, thank you! we sent you an email
or you can contact us at: [email protected]
I would like to know if floridaactioncommittee.org to create an account with https://www.change.org/ and Start a petition removing Ron Book from heading the county’s homeless program. As “motion of no confidence”
we could send the petition to the trust org.

I will sign that.. I live in Broward. Pretty soon Book will get the “urge” to move North. I dont want that to happen. Restricted as I may be, I have been grandfathered in for mostly everything. I live a quiet life, my neighbors went to the courthouse (at my request) and spent 2 days going over my case. (SET-UP !!)
Now I have the same neighbor’s 12 yo coming over to my house to cut my lawn. All of this was done after I talked with the kids parents and they said that the whole neighborhood knows of me— yet they are not concerned–I have lived here 18 years and not one problem !
TELL ME WHERE I SIGN? ! I DO want off this damned registry!
I hope this is the beginning to the end of the Rom Book era http://www.hometownnewsbrevard.com/news/palm-bay-takes-on-big-pharma-in-state-court/article_72df1e1a-52e3-11e8-aeb9-9f08cf93021b.html
Good post! Seems cities are beginning to dump Ron Book.
Thanks for showing the community that these laws don’t keep their children safe and actually do more harm than good.
Nice!!! I hope it becomes a domino effect and more people move on from that jerk.
I think this was awesome but sadly the CRIMINAL Ron Book tells his lies on TV to an uninformed audience that thinks what Ron Book says about sex offenders is true that we are monsters, etc… In all honestly if 1% of the people that watched changed there mind or started to research I would be surprised and grateful.
Let us face it! Sex Offenders are MONSTERS in the public perception until you or a loved one becomes one and then your eyes are opened to the truth!
Now if there can be a segment even once a month like this where facts are being told (i would love to see one somewhere every day) then the general public may slowly start waking up. Remember they been broadcasting lies about sex offenders for many many years and as the old saying goes if you are told a lie often enough you will think it’s the truth!
Well At least Jim was able to finally get the truth out of Ron. Something in the beginning of the video that was interesting that Ron book said, he said that Society has deemed these people different. Well, Society 150 to 200 years ago Also deemed African Americans as property and less of a human being. In Germany 80 years ago, The German Society deemed Jews less than a human being. So by that statement, Ron book as essentially said that Society has made us less than a human being.
I cannot even watch videos like this as I fear that I will thrown my computer through a window of puke and curl up in a fetal position for a couple of days…….or both. WHY do a Democrat pimp and his dimwit Democrat junior state senator daughter have so much pull in Tallahassee, which has been controlled by Republicans for over 20 years? I remember when Debbie Wasserman Schultz, arguably one of the most powerful Dems in the state over that time period, had to come crawling hat in hand to REPUBLICAN boosters from out of her district to get things passed or even considered in the Legislature.
went to find the “full interview” between Jim DeFede & Ron Book.
They have taken it down.
The full video is the one posted.
Thank you FAC.
We need more of Jim DeFede. Jim comes loaded with facts, figures, law, case law.
Ron Book comes with bad breath, ignorance, hatred and no law, testimony, facts. Hateful remarks, slanderous statements and the laughable “many courts have ruled; judges have ruled” garbage are his mantra. He couldnt substantiate a single thing he said, and every time Jim brought up law or ruling, or FACT, Book brushed it off as “nonsense”.
The only thing Book brought to the table was a chart that grandfathered-in the SO’s— and he tried to take credit for that.
CBS4 news had an article on the old Black woman who was turned down because she didnt make enough money to live there. Book stated that there were “plenty of jobs around” and its not his fault that they dont want the help. BOOK created this problem and now his “trust fund” is trying to make a buck off of the people he has alienated.
Ron Book made the comment that people should fear all predators and offenders. That in itself proves that he is either uninformed on the facts or this is just a personal attack for his daughters misfortune. He throws them all in the same basket as does the lifetime registration in this state. It’s a shame that someone like him can have so much influence on how this state is run.
I vote for Jim DeFede for the Nobel Peace Award. What a champion.
Jim did an amazing job discrediting Ron Book. I cannot express my appreciation enough for his informed focused argument to highlight the irrational spew of misinformation and inflammatory terms Ron Book uses over and over to perpetuate the fear mongering all of the policies he drives in Tallahassee and in the local municipalities. Jim asked him what studies he used to perpetuate the legislation he supports and drives. As usual there was nothing to be specifically cited by Book because it doesn’t exist. The other question I think Book should answer is provide the names of the experts who “testify in court”, to residency restrictions being an effective tool as part of the whole strategy to manage the former sex offender population? He would not be able to as they too do not exist. If he named such people I can assure you they would be facing charges for lying to the court as there is nothing to support their findings. Keep in mind he also said common sense must come into play… I agree… common sense tells us the multiple studies which clearly show there has been no evidence residency restrictions do anything for public safety to protect our children, registration has done nothing to curb the perpetuation of sexual offending, classifying an entire group based on offense rather than individual risk does nothing to identify those who may pose the greatest threat to public safety and therefore common sense would tell us if the stated goal of a policy is not achieved by the policy it should be eliminated and a better solution should be identified. Unless the goal of these policies are a lifetime of punishment, I’d say they are a huge failure. Common sense would also show us that Ron Book is full of vengeance, guilt and hate. I can identify as a parent with his pain and guilt, however as a survivor I can identify with the confusion and pain Lauren must have felt, however, I strongly disagree with their methods of trying to find peace and healing. I cannot support taking any human and treat them as a throw away and that is what the Books would have done with all of those required to register. If nothing else comes from this exchange I hope people will question the motives of people who have the power and influence to drive policy and question why are our tax dollars being used on laws which do nothing to end the cycle of abuse and educate parents how to identify when abuse is present? According the the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children, up to 98% of sexual abuse occurs in the home or by someone known and trusted by the victim and their family. It’s also a known fact 50% of sexual abuse against a person under the age of 18 is abused by a person under the age of 18. Children sexually abusing children. It’s also a fact 95% of offenders are first time offenders, so in simple terms all of these policies do not apply to those who have not been caught and considering less than 5% will actually ricidivate with a new sex offense wouldn’t common sense tell us to use our resources differently? Wouldn’t common sense tell us that instead of legislators and Mr. Book making statements such as “if it saves just one child”, the broad brush we use to control this population be narrowed, as common sense would point us to the expert research so we can focus on saving thousands of children rather than just one?
BTW, I’ve personally heard Mr. Book and Lauren Book refer to this population as “Monsters”, when I was present at both Florida House of Representatives and at the Florida Senate, during criminal justice committee hearings.
Just saying if his mouth is moving???
Call your legislators and ask them to eliminate all failed policies and use empirical data to drive policies that work, not justbthat makebus feel good and to PLEASE STOP LYING TO CONSTITUENTS AND TREATING THEIR CONSTITUENTS AS MORONS.
JIM THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO BEGIN WHAT SHOULD BE A CINVERSATION WITH THE VOTERS. You’re a superhero.
But as we have seen recently with demagogues and buffoons in positions of power, this will merely serve to make the fans of such people even more hostile as this member of the “liberal mainstream media” is picking on poor Saint Ron and raping his poor daughter all over again. Oh, the humanity! There oughta be a law. It’s for the children, after all.
Thank you for all you do. Thanks for getting the interview out there.
Concerning the stranger danger push of Book – I contacted a Mental Health Therapist who works with children and adults who have been abused I asked “of all your clients how many were abused by a RSO or stranger” and the reply was “NONE” all by a trusted person or family member”
All I can say to those who are the experts Book is referring to is “Put that in your pipe and smoke it”
Good post Gail. Thanks for all you do! To add to it, since Ronnie loves talking about common sense, well, common sense would also tell me that not one child will be in that school from 10pm to 6am that Ronnie insists these “predators” live 2500ft from. Common sense also tells me that no parent in their right mind takes their child or let’s their child go to a park after 10pm either. CS also tells me that these RRs force me to sleep somewhere from 10 to 6, yet as Jim pointed out, I can freely go anywhere around town all day long. I love how Jim keeps banging Ron with the intent clause. I love it. The loitering law is stupid too. I mean, especially in big cities, how can you NOT pass by a school, park, or daycare etc… In your daily life? So again, common sense tells me that basically can’t ban a people group from society and expect them to be successful. Just like Jim once again, so beautifully pointed out. And Gail, you mention children abusing children, yes, I am a statistic of that. I was 5 and my abuser was 10. It’s so true. You’re right, there are much better ways to treat people and give them a chance to live again than this nonsense.
This is exactly why our founding fathers expressed the reasoning of the Ex Post Facto and bill of attainder provisions.
To prevent retroactive and vindictive legislation.
I want to mention we all got a big clue during that interview that may have been partially missed by our enthusiasm for the positive reinforcement of we have all known for a long time – Book showed us one of his weaknesses (all humans have them) and that was when he tried to appease Jim and verify that they agree on many issues and this is just a small issue on which they differ. What Book showed us is that he somehow values Jim’s support and sees him as powerful (able to rock or topple Books World) – I loved that Jim was not having any part of that and did not comment on that at all!
Jim Defede for Governor. Awesome job any one with half a brain can see that sick man’s true colors
I have not gone to CBS news.com to see the full interview but, from the shortened version on the FAC site, but the host did NOT hold Book’s feet to the fire enough. Book denied EVERYTHING presented to him and gave NO admissions of being wrong. The host should have demanded that Book answer SOMETHING without changing the subject.
Yes, WE all know that Book is a dangerous asshole, but I don’t think the general public heard that in this interview.
The host should have told Book to answer the good questions he posed. But Book got away from him.
A few things:
1. Go to the Youtube video and comment there as well.
2. Finding a clip of Ron Book calling registrants “monsters” isn’t that hard to find.
https://youtu.be/852ZyRIPdjI?t=7m8s
3. If FAC still has that copy of Untouchable, someone needs to show the segment where Ron Book talks about his desire to waterboard those on the registry.
I wish we could get Untouchable on Netflix.
Jim DeFede is my new hero
this man should be defending us at every step
he was ready with the facts and is much smarter than Mr. Book and most that are making these obscene laws
lets understand something hes is not trying to be a champion to the cause and im sure he does not want that to be his purpose here :). what he is is an educated reporter who is not doing a psa but rather presenting facts. a fact is more powerful than a rumor or anecdote. he isndoingbhis job and isndoing it in a way we havebt seen in a long time. thisbwas not a confrontation and all mr book had to donwas present anything and he was not able too. this is a massive victory as we were ablento have the facts and proof to back up our claims and expose the actual truth behind thisbtreatment. thebtruth in this case stood out and on its own. perfect journalism and hes not on a political side he is on thenside of truth. powerful
Society did not say “we are going to stigmatize these types of people” f*ck heads like the Books did.
“We did not advocate it to be called the Lauren Book act, Diaz named it that”… follow up question should of been “Do you donate to the Diaz political campaign?”
I get Rob Book is nothing but an over glorified sales man, but how the hell is he getting government lobbying contracts. Just look at his whole demeanor in the interview, restless feet, smug smile, zero knowledge of facts, throwing hands around, confrontational when challenged. Look if I was doing an interview on this issue I would know every study I could spout off (yes I know there is none) to at least make it look like I’ve done my research.
You know for a country that likes to tout how free we are, we sure on the wrong side of a lot of issues. Look at “free” countries that have been around longer than the US, they have basic human rights that you are born with and can’t be taken away, we have a constitution that can be interpreted depending if your left or right (or should I dare say depending on your social status)
What a Mentally Sick man. He is a MENACE to society. First he calls everyone Predators, then he agrees that not everyone is a Predator. THEN he says that EVERYONE should be INDEFINITELY JAILED. I am amazed that the Host did not flat out ask him: “If your residency restrictions laws were not put in place, wouldn’t these people NOT be here?” The only one ‘fact’ that he thinks he can use is some Iowa case, where the attorneys for the offenders couldn’t guarantee that their own clients would never re-offend. What exactly in life CAN be guaranteed? If Ron and Lauren Book cannot guarantee they will never speed over the speed limit, or possibly cause an accident that kills someone, then they should NOT be allowed to drive! Same damn logic! The utter stupidity of what he says is mind blowing. This guy is Mentally unfit for even speaking on this subject.
Wouldn’t it be so nice to catch this Book jerk making a mistake and destroy his life and reputation
Finally !!! someone debating to this jerk with the facts!!! Nicely done Jim Defede. Hands down the best video I’ve seen of this.
What wonderful reporting. I’d happily buy Jim a beer!
You can send him a thank you note at

I had a feeling that it was a politician behind the naming of the ordinance, and not surprised it was that drunk driving asshole Jose Diaz.
Ron Book is not a politician. I don’t even think he cares or likes that the ordinance was named after Lauren. He only cares that it does what it does – Creating chaos for his mentally disturbed reality misconceptions. But I’m sure he does like that he is referred to as being ” powerful ” and having influence over politics because it drives fear into government officials and politicians alike and he gets what he wants that way.
Criminal Ron Book needs to crawl back under the rock that criminal crawled out from under
I have no words, except He’s a MORON!
Jill Levenson’s studies are great and disprove anything Book or anyone else that advocates this nonsense and these types of laws. Book is just angry and closed minded.
Sacrifice liberty for safety deserves neither
Jim DeFede not only tore “Won-Won” a new one, he presented FACTS and “at the end of the day” (LOL)
had Book admitting that Books studies were fake facts, and did no good for the community.
Book denied ALL the evidence that DeFede had brought; it made me think, why are the people even listening to Books maniacal ravings?
The more I see Book live, the more I have pity on this person. His daughter was “allegedly molested” by her Nanny for years.
Book is going thru guilt, he was to busy with his career to be a father to his daughter. Then he drags his daughter out into the spotlight, instead of getting her help for the “alleged incident”. (to me, dragging her out & parading her around in the public spotlight, instead of counseling, cast serious doubt about her credibility)
I have a few questions about this.
What happened to the nanny?
Is she a registered sex-offender?
Wheres mom during this time?
Who contributes to Homeless Trust?
How much?
I have tried, but I am not computer savvy; I cant find anything about the above questions.
Ron Book is 100% feeling guilty about his neglect with his own daughter, that’s why he’s on a crusade to take his rage, disappointment and vengeance out on a group of people. There is NO rational person who can hear Ron Book speak and not questions this man’s mental stability.
The nanny received a 25 yr sentence..she is currently at Lowell Correctional institue in Florida..there are 2 detainers on her upon her release which means she will be on probation..this is all avail on the FLA DOC website
She will have to register as a Predator not Offender
..again, we are dealing with Book who ignored his child and gave her to a Nanny…Book is just as guilty as the Nanny..the SOB should be locked up and abused and tortured by the FLA DOC as most SOs are in the system
Waldina Flores is serving a 25 year prison sentence. She was originally given 15 years but they added on 10 more for her writing letters to Lauren.
@FAC. I would love to see Emily Horowitz on his show. Is there anyway for that to happen? The fire is hot now let’s keep it burning.
If anyone is on twitter they should tweet Jim to have Emily Horowitz on for an inteview as someone who has studied these things extensively.
I was thinking the exact same thing!
https://www.sfc.edu/page.cfm?p=4255&viewdirid=44
Emily would be perfect on Jim show.
I would also like to see a registered citizen or citizen{s} on the show. Those that have been grandfathered in for some time now, have been off probation for years now and living a normal regular life with no incident whatsoever other than that one stint.
Sounds like me. Not in trouble, ever. 2 speeding tickets in the old Hacienda Village in 1983. (Before I-595 was built) This was my first run-in with the law. Received 4 months county time (for 5 felonies) got 20 years probation (was done in 4 years) All without the help of my “public pretender”.
Been free for almost 25 years.
I personally think that if “Won-Won” actually came face to face with a SO, who debated him with facts and figures, I actually think he would attack the person. (or walk off, or refuse to do the show) THEN you would actually see the REAL Book. Unstable, self serving, guilt ridden, and a bully.
Like they said in the video, there are 1000’s but only 250 or so are homeless, What about the rest ?
Jim called him on it with registered citizens that are grandfathered in and Ron couldn’t say anything. What can you possibly argue or say against any citizen that has the necessary support and stability of a residence and with family. Ron probably doesn’t want anyone knowing about that particular population(He never mentions it). Just like you, my cousin who is a registered citizen is grandfathered in, has been living in the same place for 25 years with no incident whatsoever and has been done with his court sentence for 6 years now. A few traffic tickets when he was younger. He has no prior arrests/convictions of either criminal or any kind.
Ron said all sex offenders are the same and that they should all be either in jail for life or homeless ,that is his wish. But the problem is that attitude doesn’t set well with most people.Most people have good intentions there just mis informed. Most people can see his dark side when up against reasonableness.For Ron has none. I wish someone could talk with the Nanny who supposedly abused Loren Ron’s daughter and get her side of the story.I have a feeling there’s something more to it that we’re not being told.
Jim DeFede brought up the Jimmy Rice act. The point he was trying to make is that every person with a sex offense or and offense that is sexually related (plead down to a lesser crime) get evaluated by DCFS. Ron attempted to do dismiss such fact as untrue.. I wish Jim would have read the section in that law. It would have made the point clearer in his rebuttal of Ron.
Excellent reporting. Looks like a lot of people don’t like Mr book. 🙂
At the end of this clip, Book says that the state ‘used to lock them up forever’, referring to those who are found guilty of sex crimes against children. The truth is, a registered sex offender whose ‘crime’ involved a consenting 16 year old nowadays, would not have even been arrested for that back in the early 90’s. And, life in prison is still reserved only for those convicted of certain acts with children under 12 (capital crimes), if I’m still up on my legal knowledge. My point is that Book is one of those emotional morons who generalizes everything. Something is just ‘bad’ or ‘good’. As much as he pisses me off, I can’t help but feel the misery inside of him that makes me a small bit sympathetic. I will keep an eye out on cbsmiami.com for the full interview.
I guess we can not have everything but I wish Jim had challenged what Book was saying about intent. I wish had had said I guess those people might not be at a Park for a good reason – you know like living.
Then Ron says 2500 foot is all over FL! Not!
YOUNG Karen (NEVER call a woman old!!)
DeFede should have jumped on that…..
2500 foot rule… who doesnt have it??
Ft. Lauderdale.
Poor man is so blinded>
Sean – thanks! lol
Most of Seminole County is not 2500! Only the City of Oveido has an ordinance that increases the County ordinance. As far as I know (except maybe some city things I do not know about) Orlando does not have it, Orange County does not have it, Lake County does not have it….
None of you are going to believe when I say this, but for many years now, I have closed my eyes and have day dreamed of a video just like this when a brave individual argues the facts to Ron Book and schools him really good making him look like a fool on TV. Today that day dreaming has become a realization. Thank you Jim !! I’m looking at you like a boy looks up at Superman.!! Awesome!.
By the way, I think Ron Book’s blood pressure skyrocketed at exactly 10:19 into the video. I paused it, I zoomed in and I snapped it and it is now my phone wall paper. LOL ;)-
Lol. That last part was too funny. Maybe that’s the angle we should be taking ? Just debate Ron Book until he croaks. Lol…. Nah, I’m only kidding. I’m pretty certain he will be his own undoing.
I am so glad that more and more people are fighting for the truth. This reporter does a terrific job – however, they both keep talking about how sex offenders as a group have harmed a child – that is just not correct at all
Ron book also said the supreme court in 2003 was way more liberal than now. Guess he’s tying democrats to convicted felons believing democrats lean toward the felons. But I do believe his beloved princess Lauren is a democrat. Right or wrong?
I don’t think Ron Book cares what political side you’re on. He will side or go against any politician in the political spectrum as long as it supports his “delusions”.
SCOTUS did not rule on residency restriction laws in 2003. He is referring to Smith v Doe, of course.
This is what I am talking about. Book is insane. He says words that make no sense and expects that everyone hearing it, takes his words as fact.
Book said NOTHING in that interview. All he did was talk over Jim every time he gave a real fact/truth. Book wants to obscure the truth from the public. He wants everyone to think he’s right no matter what he says.
In 2003 the Supreme Court heard Doe V Alaska where they found the sex offender register act, (Megans Law) was not violative of the ex post facto provision. The finds where bases on 2 factors:
1) The act did not require in person appearance.
2) The act did not limit registrants ability to change residencies or employment.
Prior to the AWA my only requirement was to notify and change of address within 48 hours at the closest DMV or if I moved out of State.
Finally…..
This made my weekend. Best shut down I’ve ever seen.
Jim made a good point that there are registered citizens that are grandfathered in because they have lived there before the law and they live like normal human beings and like any other regular law abiding citizen with no incident whatsoever and for many years now. They are the proof that these laws are useless and do nothing but create the chaos that Ron Book has started. Great video all around !!. Thanks Mr. Defede.
Beautifully done Jim !!! Bravo !!!!
Ron was struggling to find the lies out of his ass. Jim brought facts and Ron brought a map ??. lol.
Thank you Jim Defede!!!.
Jim Defede has papers(studies) in front of him and Ron book has nothing in front of him other than his temper and frustration. I’m glad of those studies, he mentioned the one that was done by the Dept. of Justice. I would of also mentioned Snyder, and what the DOJ’s Solicitor General said of the Snyder case with SORR as to reinforce that DOJ study.
I seriously think this man needs therapy. I’m not kidding or joking when I say this. But he needs some sort of psychological evaluation real quick and be put into a therapy program. He has some serious issues.
OMG…..at the end of the day….at the end of the day….
At the end of the day I hope you have a damn stroke!!!!
Ron Book is fuc*%ng INSANE. He only wants it his way. He wants all of us in prison. He is a jacka$$.
By the way…..he did say we were monsters. I was in SOSEN at that time and I remember an article or video, something but he did call us all monsters.
Book has no rational basis for any of his answers. DeFede said it right in that all he does is attempt to scare the hell out of people. It’s long past time that politicians are told by non-registered voters that they will not tolerate this kind of polemics.
Also we know that Book is a tool of corruption (and a criminal himself) and it’s also time for Florida (and America) to disdain such men and seek honorable men of integrity to lead who will not stoop to bribery.
Clarence Darrow said it this way. “As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever.”
“The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their own opinions, never doubting anything.”
“The truth is always modern and there never comes a time when it is safe to give it voice.”
Thomas Paine said, “To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.”
“The greatest tyrannies are always perpetuated in the name of the noblest causes.”
Thomas Jefferson made a few very good points. “Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.”
“Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever: “
Benjamin Franklin well describes people like Book. “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”
And to all my brother registrants out there I leave you with these words from Sir Winston Churchill. “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
Can we get Jim DeFede to join F A C? Great interview
Wow, Wow and more wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally someone in the media that gets it. Thanks Jim for telling the truth.
