This is a wonderful article! Is the sign Neon? Blinking? Lit? This is about the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard!!’ So, what if you live with relatives? Rent a room? Do you have to buy the sign? 1 percent recidivism? Never any Halloween issues? 30 years later? This needs to go all the way! I’m angry!

Once again, Ms. Bellucci and CA RSOL fight the powerful and corrupt scam artists in ‘our’ government. This time, the fraudsters at CDCR. In our society, I should hope logic and truth prevail over the hysteria abound at CDCR.

Today get rid of the stinkin’ shaming signs that are limited to people on parole for one day of the year, and that someone would have to pass by the house to see.
Someday eliminate the big rotting electronic Albatross, the public registry, hanging around most registered citizen’s virtual necks, even those not on parole, who have never committed another crime of any kind; which hangs on a person until death, and which can be seen by everyone via the computer screen without even having to set foot out the front door.

I clicked the MSN link — nothing there about the case. By the way, there are a lot of stupid comments appearing at the end of these articles. Where is everybody?
