Is it Right or Acceptable, or Justice to expect Law suits to ensue all over the world at the expence of equality, fairness and the poor !
How long does it take for human life waisted in the process of Balance and So called Safety… suffering and Wild Goose chasing for the sake of getting or keeping the Baaaad guy away !!!

I don’t understand why there aren’t lawyers in Florida taking on this full on assault of people with sex offenses? All these laws are grouping all people with a sex offense together with the worst of the worst. What has happened to our justice system? These people need to have a fair individual assessment on a case by case basis. Someone who has been incident free for a decade or two should not be subject to these new whimsical and punitive laws. And is there any evidence that these laws are necessary? Has there been a rash of people on the registry offending in public pools and parks? This is sickening. It is bullying, and harassing a minority group that can’t defend themselves. Most of us don’t have the resources to fight. Just like the big, overgrown, bully in school harassing you and making your life miserable for their own perverse insecurities. Somebody has to stand up for these people. If someone has proven themselves to be a danger and untrustworthy, then so be it. But most of us did a single incident and have not done another. This abuse must stop.

Only criminal regimes have residency “restrictions”. People with brains have to note that, yet again, these criminals don’t care about people who have shot children with guns. They want shooters to live by schools. They want shooters in schools. They do deserve karma, that’s for sure.

Remember people, never, ever support these criminal regimes. Never support their law enforcement criminals. They richly deserve all the contempt and disrespect that they get. Deliver more. These “laws” are acts of war by anti-American criminals. Retaliate.

Ensure that the Registries harm as much as possible. Today and every day.

I read the article I think sheriff shitwood needs a new job and quilt bullying people… so’s need to SUE for damages of the cost of moving etc.. When someone costs you out of pocket money you sue. I lived in orlando, debary… craphole area, almost like deland and deltona, both craphole areas there is a area also called sanford… another dump place to live same with bithlo ! 95% of florida isnt worth living in, hopefully it will all sink and be eliminated then they all can go look for new jobs !

More affirmative disability in banishment form.
I spent the morning in Rock County Circuit court battling in an FTR.
“We wouldn’t be here if Congress obeyed the constitutional prohibition on ex post laws” I exclaimed to the court. Judge was irked I’d no attorney. “Attorneys are necessary for those proceeding in court based upon the presumption of innocence.” I said ” Here state proceeds upon the presumption of guilt, do we not” Referring to guilt found by jury in 91CF 74. ” WE know damn well the first thing state will do is call SOR AGENT to the stand and refer to the guilt finding in that case. ” understood mute.

“Sheriff Chitwood hopes surrounding cities will also update their sex offender ordinances.”

Why? Just so they can garner a false sense of pride, relevance and empowerment?

Nothing more dangerous than a bunch of like-minded idiots who think they’re right!

But I guess that goes with the territory being Florida and all..

And of course, they probably cant get a federal judge to block it because it is already being done in other cities and found ok.

How this isnt a bill of attainder I have no idea. It is clear from the statements that this isnt being done for a rational reason and is just neighboring cities raising restrictions so the registered citizens dont migrate to them from the ones that already banished them.

Perhaps this time they went too far with the ex post facto as well as restrictions for more than just overnight residency…but I bet Florida judges wont intervene.

The worst has gotten even worse….and the corrupt of the Sunshine State continues to smile a smirk that I, and I’m sure many in ACSOL and NARSOL, would love to smite off their faces…

We have to remember, fellow registrants of the “most liberal state in the US” (CA): we are very blessed to live in buffer-zone-less California; sometimes, I think we forget how true this is until we see how Florida registrants suffer.

Having said that, any of us Californians thought about perhaps doing an operation overnight? (For us to travel to Florida, it doesn’t take more 2.5 days for wheels and rescue mission.) Because as long as they are suffering, I’m suffering.

Isn’t this basically the same situation as in Tennessee? The only real difference is that this podunk town used increased residence restrictions instead of of contact with ones own children to try to banish their registrants.

FAC is looking for a plaintiff to challenge this. Shouldn’t be hard – look on the registry and contact them.

We need to be fighting for our God Given inalienable 2nd Amendment rights.

No grandfather clause? At least with people who own their own homes, how is it possible for this to stand? Georgia already had a similar law ruled unconstitutional since it deprived property owners of use of their property without due process and/or compensation.

Here is Wisconsin, this would fall under the category of ‘regulatory taking’ and would be treated just like any other ‘taking’, meaning the affected person would be entitled to due process and/or compensation.

In the USA, you’d think that you can’t just take someone’s property from them.

*”The ordinance bans registered sex offenders from community pools, water parks, school bus stops, and other private and public areas.”*

A literal interpretation of this statement would mean RCs are banned from any private or public area. Or in other words, no RC is allowed to be present anywhere within the city limits of DeBary.

In any case, WHERE ARE THE STATISTICS? How many children have been sexually assaulted by RCs in community pools, water parks, school bus stops, and other private and public areas in DeBary?

I guess no one other than RCs care that this is all emotion and fear, with the absence of fact or reason.
