Many people may be unconcerned with what someone on the registry goes through, but William Walker said he hopes by sharing details of his arrest and the collateral damage it’s causing his kids, someone will rent him a place to live. Full Article

The registry is worse than jail. He didn’t even go to jail. When i was on probation, i was REQUIRED to go to high school at 25 to get my diploma. Yes, required. If i did not, i faced arrest by probation. When i was on probation, i was considered ZERO threat to anyone. Once on the registry though, everything changed. Now i’m considered a monster and 100% likely to do what monsters do. The registry does NOTHING for society except hurt families and makes society “feel” better. I guess in the eyes of the public, it’s okay to kill babies while still in the womb and so what if entire families are forced on the streets, including children as long as they “feel” better.
To general society, go shame on you. You are a virus that gets better at evil as the days go by and totally immune to any goodness. I guess you feel good about children being on the street and in the cold. You must be okay with this, because you’d fix this problem if you actually cared about children. In your eyes this is collateral damage you are okay with. What ever happened to “We want to know where sex offenders are at all times.” Well, if you wanted to know where they are you’d let them have homes.
Sometimes, i hate Americans more than anyone else. Most other countries don’t do this to their people.
Not much love out there, even at Christmas.
Kinda makes you wonder how so many people never got the message.
The motto of the $EX Offender Registry Supporters/Harassers is “If it kills a hundred children a year, it’s worth it.”
I really have been wondering over the years exactly how many dead children it would take for the Harassers to decide that having Registries just for their jollies and entertainment is not worth it. They don’t care about children much.
I admire this man’s courage for coming forward publicly. This is what it is going to take. He and his wife speak up that they are not bad people, just a working family, and he made a mistake many years ago. How many times have we heard this story? And how absurd that fair housing laws don’t apply to sex offenders. What blatant double standard discrimination. At the end he says he and his family sleep in their car, in the cold he leaves the car running with the heat on. That is a good way for the entire family to die from carbon monoxide poisoning. Hopefully the car is a newer model. Is that what it will take to allow people on the registry to live inside? Must they find the entire family dead in their car to wake people up?
Let’s go back to visit the wisdom of SCOTUS and see what Smith says about this:
*****
“If the disability or restraint is minor and indirect, its effects are unlikely to be punitive.”
—and—
“The Act, by contrast, imposes the more minor condition of registration.”
*****
See? What’s the problem? The Act’s disabilities and restraints are minor and indirect. No harm, no foul.
Hey SCOTUS justices, maybe one of you can rent your basement, attic, or toolshed to this family. Then you all can go shopping at the Price Club together using his membership. It’ll be fun!
SCOTUS justices are EVIL NAZIS! I hope they enjoy hell!
I don’t know why I haven’t experienced things as you guys did.
Sure, I got disowned by many friends.
I was never homeless, Always had food to eat.
I finish college while on RSO and got my BS degree.
Everyone knew but they didn’t make my life harder except to not be my friends.
I now have a full-time job in internet marketing.
People who support the Registries don’t care if families like this die. Someone asked if that is what it would take to end the Registries. Of course not. This kind of stuff has been occurring non-stop. No one cares. People must come to the realization that it is not acceptable to be forced to live in a car and wage war against anyone that thinks it is.
The more I think about it, the more I think “tiering” is not good. It gives a signal that the Registries are being “fixed” and that they are legitimate. That signal should never be given. And it’s also just a bunch of us giving up on a bunch of other people and saying, “I can’t be listed but it’s fine if you are.” I would bet you anything that the vast majority of people who are not forced to Register any longer will stop fighting for the people remaining. I expect to stop Registering but the Registries have put me into a permanent war with the un-Americans who think they are okay. I’m not going to stop affecting them.
The “tiering” is very much like the amendment that they just passed in Florida where they will start allowing just some convicted people to vote again. But they’ll keep excluding the most hated people for no other reason than because people hate them. No one should support that. Same with the “tiered” Registries.
Im in the same boat.
I had to register last spring. My landlord started doing everything he could to get ux out. We decided to move but cant find a place thats legal and will take us. Im married with 2 children and a grandson.
Finally the landlord filled a eviction claiming to many complaints abd we were evicted. We had 1 month to move.
MY KIDS are living with friends my wife is in a shelter and im in my van.
I just found this and I don’t think I agree.

Being on sex offender registry rarely limits employment
To stop being treated by lepers, we need to change society’s negative impression of registrants.
All other people groups who have fought descrimination successfully have gone public with their stories of hardship.
We have to be willing to do the same.
Can he sue? is there a law that has to do with denying children benefits if parents are on probation?
I am still reading a lot of hate out there……I have been on this registry for years, I can’t be with my wife because she is from another country, and because of the AWA she can no longer be here. I have few friends (but good ones) and I can never volunteer anywhere because I must “disclose” about myself. I am fortunate that I am not homeless and I feel badly for the family we all read about here, but spewing hatred about Jusices going to hell, or hoping many other people get on the registry only shows us to be as heartless as “them”. We all know (minus the trolls) that the registry and the many laws concerning sex offenders are motivated by politicians, counter productive, hurtful and just plain wrong……but cursing others does none of us any good.
Good and true information is only half the battle . We cannot expect to change minds with just printed words, or podcasts or videos. We have to show ourselves to be the good and honest people we need society to see, and believe in. The top reply said it all…. just be good normal people, after all, isn’t that who really are……….
