What I really like about this is that you can be a person who was convicted of going into your workplace and shooting your co-workers and you will not be listed on a Registry. Your employer address will obviously not be listed anywhere either. That is because clearly such a person is not a danger to his or her co-workers, unlike a person who looked at the wrong pictures is.

The Sex Offender Registries are not for “public safety”, “protecting children”, or any of those other lies. They are for harassment. People who support them are terrorists who are not Americans. F them. I will have no concern for the quality of their lives. I will do what I can to lower the quality of their lives.

This is yet another effort to make sure anyone who registers has no chance at moving forward with their lives after serving their sentence. Welch had it right, almost no one will want to hire a registered citizen because it puts a target on the back of the business. The wackos who believe the hype will boycott, the lunatics looking to kill registered citizens will not just have homes to go to but workplaces as well. I hope they have someone like Janice on their side who will sue the state and get a HUGE victory!

There’s no future in the USA for a Registered Sex Offender.

It makes no difference if you’re on the Registry for Misdemeanor Streaking or Felony Forcible Rape. It would take upwards of 20+ years for any real change to take place, where an RSO is treated equally.

I just don’t know what people are thinking! Some states are trying to ban individuals from Churches? Parks? Pools? Beaches? Restaurants? Schools? Tennis Courts? Travelling? It’s getting really crazy. I mean, we have gang bangers, robbers and killers with more rights! Now, we have people trying to work and become productive members of society and this happens? What is this world coming to

Total bullsh*t. The police already collect employer and college information from registrants. Making it public has no positive impact on “public safety”.

It has been this way in Florida for a long time!

I agree this is totally unacceptable. However I do not agree that it is by any means, is hopeless or “no future’, for those being labeled and placed on registries. Somewhere I read that less than 30% of the populations even check the registry. I also believe that by the shear fact that todays youth, young adults are growing up with far more exposure to the media. For example there is usually not a day that goes by that some public figure has not done something unacceptable. Truly they are becoming immune and will be like “so what”.

DISCLAIMER: The program below is not connected with California RSOL. It is a program supported my myself and those involved in training and being trained. Registrant helping registrant.

These type of laws are why we ALL need to be involved socially and politically where ever we can in our society.

To not be engaged WE allow more punitive laws to be passed without giving a fight.

It is an election year I WILL at no charge to you train you how to impact local elections in your area by harnessing the salon relationships hairdressers have with there clients via a service give away program.

I have already gotten people kicked out of office replaced with more constitutionally mindful candidates.

These are trade based skills. I have already trained a few registrants and am willing to train family members as well. Outside of elections it is also a good way to bring extra income.

I agree we need to start our own towns. I’ve read about towns with less than 50 people living in them. We could move into one and vote out the people in charge.
We could start our own movie studios and supply porn to the world Via the internet.
Keep in mind the day will come when you become terminally ill and no laws will mean anything anymore, you’ll be free to visit your law makers house. At the moment I look for towns that have hundreds of RSO’s living in them.
