If you have internet access, eBay is a good business. That’s how I’ve survived for the last 10 years. YouTube has many instructional videos on how to do this. It takes time to build up a good eBay income. But if motivated, you can make a living at it or just supplement your existing income.

People who turned in their neighbors got to join the Nazi Party, which after 1933 was more difficult to do. It provided for career advancement, career opportunity, perks like being able to own a gun. It gave those who were on the fence that extra push.

Dear Patience, I read your post and I see my son. I will be gone when he is released (unless I miraculously live to be 90) and I do not have much to leave for him to help him financially. I know he will be living a life identical to yours, and I spend many sleepless nights thinking of him trying to use the gifts God gave him in a world that would label and deny him. I pray that you are able to use every resource that IS available to you, and find a place of secure rest, with employment that is meaningful to you. I think some of the replies here are good suggestions. Don’t give up. There are good people fighting for you.

The Mirage of Justice

excerpts

“The reality is that almost no one who is imprisoned in America has gotten a trial. There is rarely an impartial investigation. A staggering 97 percent of all federal cases and 95 percent of all state felony cases are resolved through plea bargaining. Of the 2.2 million people we have incarcerated at the moment—25 percent of the world’s prison population—2 million never had a trial. And significant percentages of them are innocent.”

” Politicians, legislators, lawyers and law enforcement officials, who understand that leniency and justice are damaging to their careers, and whom Karl Marx called the “leeches on the capitalist structure,” have constructed for their corporate masters our system of inverted totalitarianism. They serve this system. They seek to advance within it. They do not blink at the victims destroyed by it. And most of them know it is a sham.”

…there are some who say you can get a fair trial …….Let Them Come To california .!!

Martin Luther King Day was yesterday. This great man fought injustice in general and not just that directed at African-Americans. In his I Have A Dream Speech, he mentioned many subjects of discrimination. In these times, there are still many fighting against this spirit, such as the 2 Chris’. Chris Smith travels the globe spreading his offensive anti-woman/anti-abortion and anti-ex-sex-offender message. For so many years, traveling the globe doing this. But his picture on the government website looks to be like 30 years old or so. I have my theories on why he uses such an old picture of himself and why he wants to perpetuate a false sense of security on sex offenses world-wide. Chris Kelly traveled the US on the FaceBook dime to spread his cyber-Nazism attacking the 1st Amendment. In the last Republican Presidential second tier ( kiddy table ) debate, one of the candidates mentioned that the 2nd Amendment was so important to the founders of our country that they made it the second amendment out of many amendments. With that in mind, the 1st Amendment was so important that they made it the 1st thing they wrote down. I was pleased to see in the last Democratic Presidential debate, youtube and not FaceBook was used to take viewer questions to the candidates, thereby not excluding registrants from inclusion. Out of the 8 or so debates, I think 7 of them used FaceBook and only the last one used youtube. Hopefully, this anti-disenfranchisement is the start of a trend.

Well, that’s it now. On February 3rd in the el cajon courthouse my wife and I will lose our parental rights to our daughter. The only reason being that I have to register. Our daughter was never abused or neglected. I am forced to sit and watch as they tear my family apart and crap all over our basic human rights to have and raise a family. I have tried to find someone to help me fight the violation of my rights in court, but no one seems to be interested in helping a sex offender. Even Janice wouldn’t help me out, if we fought and won they wouldn’t be able to steal peoples children and destroy their family’s for only the reason that they have to register, so everyone would win, not just me.
Alas, its just not the case. What do you do when even your champion won’t fight? Lay down and die? Just let them do whatever they like?… Both of my parents died while I was locked up. My wife and daughter are all Ive got and mean everything to me.
I am truely out of ideas and don’t have any clue as to what I should do. Oh well, don’t mind me, I’m just bitching and mad. I know all of you have your own problems and mountains to climb.

Our daughter turns 2 on the 27th of this month, she has been in foster care for over a year and a half. My wife went to work, and had me babysit my daughter, it just so happens that I had contact with law enforcement that day and they made a note of me babysitting her. The next day we were informed that we needed to be seen in court with our daughter. When we get there the CP’s workers steal our daughter away from my wife saying that the fact my daughter was left alone with me and my record as a registered citizen was prima facie evidence that my daughter was in immanent danger, and my wife had failed to protect our daughter by leaving her alone with me. Then they refused to give my wife back our daughter even though she completed everything they asked her to do, because she didn’t divorce me. So now they are going to take our rights and give our daughter to the foster mom for adoption. The foster mom who has been lying the whole time right along with the CP’s workers… What I want is to fight the law that is the cause of this violation of our rights. Family code 3030 says that anytime a child is found alone with a rso, is prima facie evidence of danger and is grounds for immediate removal and termination of parental rights.

There is a copy of the law, and it could happen to any registered citizen without cause or warning. Why not attack the unconstitutional law that started this? I want to hit this from every angle possible, not just in family court. Yes we can afford an attorney with no problem.

Jon, my heart goes out to you, and I can’t believe that they will take your daughter away from not only you but her biological mother. That can’t be in anyone’s interest. Janice does so much for everyone and has her hands full. She is more a civil rights attorney. Would Chance be a person who could represent you? I know there are attorneys out there who fill represent sex offenders. Why don’t you find an attorney who specializes in sex offenses? If you have the money to pay for it, there has to be someone wanting to take your case. Attorney take cases of murderers who are guilty. Keep trying, for your daughter, yourself and your wife.

Further proof state registry did NOT protect the public from ‘sex’ crimes from that public employee okey.
There’s your tier 3 example for your tier utopia. Booya !

A Eureka, California motel owner just got a commendation from the local police department for identifying a registrant who was on the Megan’s Law list and had a warrant, then calling the police.

http://www.krcrtv.com/north-coast-news/news/eureka-woman-honored-for-capturing-wanted-sex-offender/37563038

This substantiates my assertion that motel owners are looking up ALL people (at least males) to see if they are on the sex offender registry when they try to rent a motel room. I cannot conceive any other reason for her success in this case. The real question is: How many registered citizens have been turned away even though they were not on a warrant list?

Oddest thing about this story is that its not out of Florida…

Man banned from having sex unless he gives police 24 hours notice

According to my friend(who is also one of my former college professors), she told me that if they aren’t your friend after your trial and prison term, they were never your friend before your trial and prison term. She wrote me while I was in prison. When I went to visit her at the university, she still had several pictures of me on her classroom wall. Using my friend’s logic, I never lost a friend because I was convicted of a crime.

With that being said, I finally had an incident where a “new” friend(a friend that I made after being released from prison) asked about my past. I met her at the college I currently attend. We have been friends for two years. We have gone out multiple times. She always offers to drive me to my car when I park off campus or she drives me to my car after I walk her to her car after night classes. Many times we sit in her car and talk for minutes if not hours about life and people we know. Yesterday after she drove me to my car, in the middle of one of our conversations she asked about my past.

Long story short, she said she recognized me from the news. She finally put two and two together. She asked if I was in the paralegal program because of my past. She told me she read all the articles and that all the articles were describing a person she didn’t know. I told her about my case and my ex-girlfriend. She told me that she had other friends who have been in similar situations. She told me her aunt is a deputy. Her aunt told her when any person makes an accusation it’s basically over for the accused.

As of now, I guess we’re still friends. During the conversation she informally invited me to her wedding. She is also part of one of my major group projects that we are presenting at Cal State LA. It makes me wonder which other “new” friends know about my past. If you google my name all the news articles pop up. I always work with the mindset that everyone knows about my past. It was a way to help me function. But right now I don’t know how to feel. She made me feel like she had my back. She got out of her car to hug me goodbye. I guess things are alright, right?

Any word on HR 515 ???

The “neighborhood outreach” hearing re: this clinic might be a good opportunity to educate the public about sex offender issues.

Does anyone know if after 25 years of a conviction date in California. If I move to another state that does not have lifetime registration will I have to register there?

New Police Registry for…MUSICIANS?

A new bill from Philly City Councilman Mark Squilla would require owners of nightclubs, cabarets, bars and restaurants in the city to collect the names, addresses, and phone numbers of entertainers — bands, rappers and DJs — in a registry, and to share that personal information with police upon request.Read more…

South Carolina considers internet registry for immigrants: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/south-carolina-refugee-registry_us_56aa451ee4b0d82286d52074
This is just another example of why the very concept of the registry for people “who might do something bad” needs to be banned. You can’t limit it, it continues to grow. That is the nature of it.

‘”I do not think that that would be good information to release because we don’t want the general public — especially people that would be out looking for refugees to even harm them or something” to be able to access it, state Sen. Katrina Shealy said. “I don’t think that would be a good idea.” ‘
This is from the article I mentioned above. Just replace the word “refugees” with “sex offenders” and the idea then makes perfect sense to these law makers.

A past commenter mentioned SB 448 was on the move. As for internet identifiers, it looks like Kelly made it non-retroactive with effective date Jan 1, 2016. But what is that stuff at the end of SB 448? It applies to all 290 registrants it explictly states. It looks to me to give FaceBook Police, Menlo Park expanded authority to persecute.
