CA: Why Highland is repealing its sex offender residency ordinances

The city of Highland is repealing its residency restrictions on sex offenders, two years after the state Supreme Court deemed similar restrictions unconstitutional.

The City Council has agreed to repeal its ordinance, which prohibits sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of public or private schools and parks, after receiving a threat of litigation from Sacramento-based attorney Janice Bellucci. Full Article

“Our state is going downhill rapidly because we have such a liberal group of individuals out there who just don’t care,” Lilburn said. “The offenders are treated better than the normal people, the working class and the people that are making their communities better.”

Since when are we treated better in any community?! I’ve got scars and a gunshot wound that says otherwise.
On top of that we just want to be normal and are apart of the working class. This is like saying we are burdens on society because there are laws put in place making it impossible to find work. There’s no rationale

Notice how they included not one, but THREE photos of random “vulnerable” children playing in and about what appears to be a park/playground. The media IS perpetuating the “imminent danger” false narrative about us! They know how to get their viewers easily triggered and incite thuggery.

Fighting these restrictions is like trench warfare right now. I can’t believe they have the nerve to even be offended when they are challenged!

Thank you for fighting for us Janice. Great job on this one.

Yes, I don’t say it often enough. Thank you all for your hard work, long hours and for so many more reasons!! I have never lived in Cali but the wonderful progress you are making on the unconstitutional madness and false facts and lies turned into laws there, can and WILL certainly help me here. Thank you!!
