This murder only illustrates that, besides being ineffective, the Public Registry often becomes a “hit list.”
Is it possible for SOs to get together a class-action lawsuit for having the lives put at risk, etc.? Is this too far-fetched? Probably. Frustrating.
This is a truly disturbing story. The sad part of all of this is that an innocent bystander was fatally murdered due to misidentification. This isn’t the only incident where this has occurred and probably not the last. The Megan’s Web Site is truly flawed. Vigilantes are alive and unfortunately out there. Its highly disturbing to think that there are Registered Sex Offenders out there with families who could potentially be exposed to similar circumstances. I can only hope that people take a look at whats happening and wake up!
