I think at the very least keeping it out of public availability is a good thing. How can one expect these people to become functioning citizens if they must automatically makes themselves pariahs wherever they go? What I think is people who consider keeping it out of the public eye a seriously bad thing really just want to be able to harass these people and drive them out of the area or at least lock them out of the community.
Well said, DOL.
People don't realize the original sex offender registry was a police-only list of the most heinous, abhorrent and violent sexual predators out there. Now, dozens of crimes will get you put on the list. What I must ask X factor, is what good is it doing to register these people? Show me proof, links to reputable websites, that show studies done that say it actually protects anyone? Where is your outcry for violent offenses such as assault? Where are "registries" for these people? Why, after someone has done their time and is a free man/woman, must they be publicly humiliated wherever they go and with whatever they do? Why do you have such hate for people of society who made a mistake, and worse yet, might be innocent?
I've read articles that estimate that 1-2% of people in prison today are, in fact, innocent. Let's do a little math..... 2 million people times 1% = 20,000 people. 40,000 if you go with the higher estimate. Let's split the difference and say that 30,000 people are doing time in prison for crimes they did not commit. YOU, the almighty right wing nut job tax payer, is PAYING FOR THIS. You should be outraged. But no, fox news tells you to hate sex offenders and Monica Crowley says they did it even without a trial, so there you go.
You need to stop telling liberals to ignore what media matters tell them when right wing kooks like yourself suck down the Fox news coolaid like it's beer from a keg.
