Outrageous! So maybe all The Muslims and Mexicans should leave as well? Soon Muslims will be registered and undocumented Hispanics hearded back to their countries, so why not send all the Sex Offenders with them.. and while your at it, how about everyone of color? Outrageous, if you leave you are a quitter of the fight for reform! Take this message seriously

One thing I learned in ‘treatment’ was to focus on what I DO have, not what I don’t – it will eat you up inside. I saw so many guys whine and complain and yet never did anything about it – I was different, I challenged those in power (and was punished at times for it) but I was aggressive about wanting to make my life better and NOT LET those control me. When they said ‘no’ to one thing, I found something else, or a way around it. The current international registration form has several places that it says ‘if available’ – when i traveled to Europe this summer, the only thing that was set was my flight to London and then was going to see where I wanted to go from there – I told them that, and a lot of trips are not completely set like that – didn’t have hotel reservations, and wanted to get on a train to see what was out there – nothing ‘illegal’ about it. I traveled to 4 countries and had no issues at all. Yes, Mexico says no – one of the most corrupt countries in the world, do you think you can find somewhere else to go – probably.

There is a reason why we are on the registry, we committed a crime, and in MOST cases, hurt someone – directly or indirectly. Yes, there are some that are much worse than others, we broke the law. Is it right that we have to keep paying for it, and treated this way, no, but there are a lot of victims out there that are living with this every day, forever.

That being said, you can post your ‘comments’, complain, bitch, and whine – OR – you can do something about it. Here in CO, we have a ‘SO management board’ that I have been attending – it is scary as hell, but I have gotten up in front of PO’s, attorneys, and even a judge to share MY experience and tell them what REALITY is, they have their heads so buried in stats, that that have NO clue what it is really like on our side. If WE don’t stand up and DO something, like RSOL is doing, nothing will change.

As Red said in the Shawshank Redemption – “get busy living…..” I am NOT going to let these asses stop me from living and enjoying life.

This is exactly why we need to do away with the probation department all together. It’s a useless waste of tax payer money. You can’t do this or that or that or this, but when your probation is over, you can do whatever you want, even tho your crime still happened when and how it happened. Many people turn down plea bargains in favor of taking MORE time in prison to come out with NO probation. That in and of itself PROVES there is no need for probation. I don’t care if it’s a sex offense, DUI, armed robbery or tax evasion (ever wonder what people on probation for tax fraud could possibly have for restrictions!!!?? WTF??) anyway, probation eventually comes to an end. Whatever you haven’t been allowed to do while on probation (such as drink alcohol) you can freely do once you’re done with probation.
If the judge and prosecutor decide that your crime which can carry up to 10 years, you’ll only have to serve 2 years in prison, then serve the 2 years, walk out, carry on with life. No 10 years of probation with 8 more years of prison time hanging over your head if you happen to violate over something as trivial as walking by a playground on your way to the corner store for a pack of cigarettes.
As for Facebook (those low life idiots!!) they have no business judging ANYONE for ANYTHING and have no business telling someone who was convicted of a “sex: offense that they (Facebook) do not even know the details of, that you cannot use their social media. But yet they allow Bloods, Cryps, Latin Kings and any other drug trafficking gang members to have FB pages. WTF is THAT all about?? Cyber crime is cyber crime no matter if it’s sexual or narcotics related.

DEPRESSED–

I will join such a group gladly – please tell me where, when, and how. I want to sign up!

Take this message seriously.

I don’t want to derail this conversation, but feel compelled to say. Don’t vote for anyone that is already in office. The only way we are going to take the country back and stop “tough on crime” laws that are based on feelings instead of supporting data, is to get rid of the career politicians.

Thank you. I think I will be joining soon. 20.00 isn’t bad even on my limited income I think it will be worth it. I am hoping some of the others voicing opinions here are able to join as well if they haven’t already, because I would very much like to brain storm with some of you.
