Article quotes Sheriff, “Sex offenders aren’t just sex offenders, they commit burglaries and thefts and property crimes. If we don’t know where they are, that creates a problem.”

I wish we had stats on how many RC are first time convicted of a crime and have not committed a crime since.

I have an idea. Let’s work on the following goal.

No more sex offenders. No more victims. No more wasted resources.

Jim Black, Sheriff’s Special Program Coordinator for the department’s sex offender registration program and San Bernardino County Probation Department spokesman Chris Condon obviously have beliefs based on many things that have proven to be untrue. I’ve lived in a rural area since 06 and the thought of committing a crime hasn’t crossed my mind!?!? The fact of the matter is before I was sucked into this modern brand of persecution I was and still am very law abiding.

It’s the likes of Jim Black & Chris Condon who continually break state and federal law in their quest to completly oppress us; a targeted group. This is the same thing that was going on under the Third Reich in Nazi Germany and eastern Europe during the 30s & 40s. It’s called “persecution.” Throw out that BS political correctness and call it what it is; “persecution.”

These people need to acknowledge the truth that stares them in the face every day. Which is that the majority of registrants are not the criminals their off center minds have them believing we are, and the majority of us are not criminals and quite possibly the most law abiding class of people in the state. They need to stop arresting registrants for every petty transgression (real or imagined) for a few years and then assess their beliefs and opinions.

Well, no one wants petty crime to be going on. Have any of these registered citizens been convicted of such things?

If you are a registered citizen and you don’t commit petty crimes such as the sheriff has described, then maybe he ought to cool it with the derogatory comments. And I sure hope he doesn’t engage in harassment of registered citizens, unless he has some genuine evidence they are committing misdeeds.

Hey, I have an idea too. The sheriff and other public spirited anti-crime citizens can form a committee to find jobs for 290’s. Let registered citizens earn a living and they will not even be tempted by petty crime. Win-win.

The author needs a refresher math class. All the ‘percentages’ have 2 extra zeroes.
