MO: Sex Offender’s Art Sculpture Allegedly Attracts Children, Disrupts Neighborhood

An art sculpture in the front yard of a Kansas City home attracts a lot of children, which has the surrounding neighbors upset. Normally such art wouldn’t be a problem, though in this case, it’s in the yard of a registered sex offender.

The sculpture is made of hanging bikes, and a majority of the bikes look like they’re for kids. The neighbors thought it was a piece of art until they found out the creator and man who lives there is a registered sex offender in Missouri. Full Article

The thing that all of us that have been convicted these crimes need to keep in mind at all times is avoidance of anything appeared to be evil. I was ask by my pastor “to head up the food service for a visiting youth group” I declined because I do not want to seen in among children.

First, that artwork in the front yard is protected speech underneath the First Amendment as ass been proven by other artists in this country. The neighbors can go away if they don’t like to look at it. “Mommy, I want to be an artist just like that man when I grow up.”

Second, the story just proves how efficient the registries are because if it took them this many years to figure out he was a person impacted by the registry because of artwork in his front yard that he completed, well, we must have more of them of course. At the same time, his reoffending statistics possibility must be off the charts at this time! 😆 15 years later…

Third, he’s not mandated to tell any of his neighbors, anyone in the neighborhood who he is, what he’s done in life, where he has been, or what’s happened to him.

Fourth, just because Missouri is known as the show me state, what is he supposed to show people? The money? 😆 I think his showing the art in his front yard is enough.

Take note the hyperlink to FWD, a private form Who profits from use of gov data. FWD Holdings group operates the site for free but it is not free to those by law rewired to update to theirs. Packingham v NC discussed the ubiquitous nature of these kinds of private firms who overrun state sovereignty to both data AND jurisdiction.

A neighbor of three years that has caused no problems in his community and all they focus on is his status. It’s not like he changed or did anything different that disrupted the neighborhood.

That STIGMA will override logic, compassion, and the ability to judge properly of anyone.

Oh and it was so thoughtful of these people to want the Registrant to move somewhere else and “be some other neighborhood’s problem”.

It’s moments like this that makes me wish that being an arrogant selfish prick ought to be a crime too.

But then again that would put nearly the majority of the population behind bars!

You guys forget, individuals on the registry have forfeited their humanity and are no longer considered human. Its the very reason why many rights said individuals are denied basic “human/citizen” rights in the Us.

Incredible; you have GOT to see the sculpture in this guy’s front yard !! Derek Logue found a picture and put it on his Shiitake site: Shiitakeweekly.blogspot.com
