When kids are out trick-or-treating, one of parents’ biggest worries is safety — but efforts by a Middle Georgia sheriff’s office to keep children safe are now at the center of a federal class action lawsuit. Full Article and Lawsuit
Nice, the tide is turning. We are getting some clout. Thanks to ACSOL and others like them that are willing to take the fight for us that don’t have the resources.

“The compelled speech doctrine sets out the principle that the government cannot force an individual or group to support certain expression.”
Obviously the sheriff was NOT following the law to the letter.

He put the signs out there claiming public protection. In reality he placed the signs to deeply ridicule the SO in the area they live. Embarrass them so much they either move away to another state or county, or kill themselves. Makes the sheriff look good either way. Because they are SO’s and he is a man of authority, you know he’s got the public on his side.
Sue them hard!

An Atlanta TV station is doing news stories now. Just saw one on TV. There is one on their web site. And supposedly their Facecrook page. I’ve been commenting on their YouTube video and invite the rest of you to do so. There are a lot of dumb people there:
I would post there as Will Allen but he’s been kicked off of YouTube. And Facecrook. I need to get about 50 more identities created.

This is both very disturbing and hateful! Why aren’t signs posted in front of murderers and paroles houses? I’ve never heard of such a thing. It creates hysteria, anger and hatred! If your the non educated laymen, your going to think offenders commit or commit more crimes on Halloween? It’s pretty thought provoking. Why not during Easter? Summer? New Years? Furthermore, can they force you to post a sign, turn your lights off and stay home? You paid your debt to society? I can maybe understand instituting a few additional rules for those on parole or probation, but this is nuts! This is like the Jews in Nazi Germany.
Here’s yet another article on this lawsuit. I’m actually quite surprised that California, according to this article, requires us to stay indoors and not interact with anyone. I was completely unaware of this and have never stayed at my house on Halloween night. In fact, I’ll probably head down to the local tiki bar’s party on Halloween night.
Here is the website for the lawyers handling the case:
