sixth circuit man appeals to the Supreme Court about Whether a certificate of appealability may be granted under 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)when the issue that the petitioner wishes to present on appeal has been resolved against him by binding circuit precedent but in his favor by another federal court of appeals.
Oceanside CA rescue mission has a realy good 90 day program for people experiencing homelessness BUT they don’t take walk-ins you have to go through the assessment process with the Oceanside police department. There’s 3 detectives that do the assessments after the assessment, they give you a referral to the Oceanside rescue mission.
This is nothing but an another tactic by the city of Oceanside to keep people forced to register out of their city.
Scanning through homeless people looking for people forced to register is scandalous. Imagine the ones who actually call the number and give them there name and told them they were homeless, and was out of there jurisdiction or didn’t de-register properly from their previous jurisdiction, they could be walking into a trap.
I don’t know what the Rescue missions in California have against people forced to register but it seems like they go out of their way to discriminate against people on the registry.
OK, So, What about this one…
Every time a PFR is forced under threat of imprisonment to sign a legal instrument (a contract with the state) such as the original registration form or any update form, without a lawyer present, voids the contract (registration).
A person cannot be forced against his will to enter contract with anyone.
The fact that the states have made failure to comply with SORA a felony offense, and attached it to past conduct which did not include a duty to comply, changes what was once legal activity into criminal activity for that offense. The definition of retroactive punishment.
Especially where the sentence for the offense has been satisfied years before the establishment of the registry, meaning there is no subject matter for a court to operate on, and is time barred from any civil remedy claim to be brought against it.
Failure to register = Felony offense –
Failure to register as a SO for an offense that took place at a time when it was legal activity not to register as an SO for that offense = retroactive punishment for that offense.
An unrebuttable fact that even SCOTUS cannot deny.
A felony is a felony is a felony. NOT CIVIL – Quasi-criminal at the very least and still unlawful to make it retroactive.
So this is a dumb question. How long do I have left to register?
lets say I was convicted back in march 2017. I also registered in 2017. Does my 10 year timer for being a tier 1 in California start in 2017 when I registered or does it start in 2018? Which would essentially mean I end registration in 2026 or 2027.
so confused. I have less than 2 years I think but I’m not sure how to correctly calculate it.
23 days to filing!
This invisible blood libel accusations are getting uglier?
Legal Residents being deported and detained for “Thought Crimes” used as “proof” of Future Blood Libels? Any “Pro-Palestinian” sentiment is “Proof of support for Hamas” and that means we should Presume Blood Libels?
None of this directly impacts the Registry or the LIES that are used to maintain the Illusion of Legitimacy it hides behind, but this issue has enough crossover that it could have impact to this community?
Not everyone is ready willing and able to condemn the Blood Libels being thrown at these immigrants as false, unfair and unjust, then demand that the blood libels being used against PFRs aren’t as well….I hope. Not everyone is a galactic scale hypocrite… is my hope.
Sooner or later the Judiciary will have to weigh in on this subject in broader constitutional terms? What can the State do today to prevent the Blood Libels they presume will occur tomorrow? What kind of Burden of Proof do they have to meet to even take their presumptions seriously?
Can the State do whatever it wants to whomever they wish just by saying that their victim will commit crimes in the future? They can just declare anyone they want Pre-Guilty of crimes that haven’t even happened, just by saying that they will eventually? What exactly can they do in response to this premonition of doom?
Been doing that to PFRs for over 20 years, but now things have changed?
When SB 384 got put into effect, I was automatically assigned to Tier 3: Lifetime registration without the ability to petition for termination or even show proof of rehabilitation. I’m telling you very strongly that SB 384 is ridiculous. After my conviction, my judge allowed me to get psychotherapy, but they’re forcing me to still register for the rest of my life. Does that make sense to any of you? Absolutely not to me. Right after I completed my therapy term, I think I should have been taken right off the registry. I am currently keeping a straight mind to keep total control over my thoughts, speech and actions. I’m observing and respecting social boundaries with everybody I encounter. Therefore, we really don’t need a registry. The registry must be completely abolished. Let’s all stick together to fight to abolish the registry.
Although this is just about restoring gun rights it’s a movement withdrawing delegated authority which is on the way to challenging the retroactive application of Sorna by The Attorney General
Non delegation doctrine is before the supreme court now considering

but this is interesting and should be paid attention to at the least we should have the means to protect ourselves at home when vigilantes are still on the prowl

B. Withdrawal of Delegation of Authority to ATF To Implement 18 U.S.C. 925(c)
In Executive Order 14206 of February 6, 2025 ( Protecting Second Amendment Rights), the President reaffirmed our national commitment to “[t]he Second Amendment [as] an indispensable safeguard of security and liberty,” and directed that “[w]ithin 30 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General shall examine all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies (agencies) to assess any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens.” Consistent with this Order and with the Department’s own strong support for all constitutional rights, including “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” enshrined in the Second Amendment, the Department has begun that review process in earnest and will provide the President with a plan as required by Order 14206.

The Dems are knocking the Republican running for the Wisconsin bench seat because he gave a 3 counts CP conviction 90 days incarceration and 9 yrs probation. In another case he was “soft “ on a child abuse conviction due to the victim’s family asking for leniency.
So for those thinking Dems are better for our cause, think again.
I went on trips to Korea and Vietnam in 2023 and 2024 without any obstacles. No police officer or security guard or government authority official called me or interrogated. The clerks at the airport front desk didn’t even call the airport security guards on me. I went into the country of destination easily like a normal innocent person.
I heard from some other registrants that the U. S. government will put PFR stamps on the first page of our passports. They say that we will be more likely to be barred from most foreign countries.
The message I want to give is that we need to all speak out and fight against the stamping of PFR symbols in our passports. We need to fight against the blockage on us on international travel. We need to tell the governments of the foreign countries that we have built up mind and behavior control. We can and will prevent ourselves from reoffending. We want to and we are able to be socially appropriate. We respect other people’s human rights. People all over the world need to just give us a chance to prove ourselves.
Hopeless and Hated…
I am 75 years old. I live with my wife (from Thailand) and our 12 year old daughter in Wise, VA. Twelve years ago I got caught in a police sting operation in Florida, and ended up pleading guilty to two charges, travelling with meet a minor to commit an unlawful sexual offense, and sending a minor harmful information. The police threatened to deport my wife back to Thailand, and take our one year old daughter away if I didn’t plead guilty. So I did, and got on the sex offense registry. Since then, my life has been a nightmare.
Nobody will hire me. My other children won’t speak to me. I am isolated and trapped. And we are having major financial problems. I have physical problems (chronic pain, arthritis, etc.). My wife is working part-time. I get Social Security retirement. We are not earning enough to pay our bills. I have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I feel so ashamed, hopeless, trapped, dirty, hated, despised, shamed, and suicidal.
I don’t think that anyone can, or would, help us. But, instead of taking my life, I thought I would reach out for help.
I have been watching videos of various people speaking out against the registry. All of those people that I saw and heard so far are making me happy. They are giving me hope and faith that the blockage from employment, school, housing and many other issues will be gradually removed. They are helping me to find a way to prove to the public that I’m a normal person who just has a personal problem, and I’m using the tools necessary to control my mind and prevent any kind of invasion or violation on another person’s human rights.
Arizona DNA Scan alert:
I almost got scammed by people masquerading as Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department saying my DNA sample was corrupted and there was a bench warrant for my arrest.
They said in order to resolve the situation via Civil action I had to get $6500 and post a bond that after I gave my new DNA sample would have $6450 refunded. They told me to stay on the phone and to go alone to get the $$ and then when I had it to open a “[derogatory term] money account” at a kiosk at a location they would give me.
When they gave me a gas station location for the kiosk and sent me a Bitcoin QR code, I got VERY suspicious and went to the MCSO substation near my home. The MCSO people informed me it was a scam and that 3 others in the area actually submitted the $$ to them. MCSO took a report and tried calling the phone number the scammers called from, but it was no longer a valid number.
MCSO stated that IF there was a warrant the Sherriff would have come to my house and arrest me.
So, I am letting you know about this so you can [be aware].
