In reply to Susan Cook. Susan, My son is in the same boat as your grandson, he is awaiting sentencing on 2/6/16. The girl lied about her age, afraid of prison he accepted a plea deal for 1 count of carnal knowledge. He will begin registering as a sex offender in Feb. I have been sick about this. He was a senior in high school when this happened. I wish there were laws to protect my son/your grandson. They are still children. My son was not a predator, he did seek out someone, he did not rape her. He believe her age was what she stated. This law is not meant our family members who are really victims themselves.

In reply to Mike. We all need to stand together and get rid of these bad laws. I wrote a book called NOT Tier Three and Violent. That is the label that was given to my 18 year old grandson, when he was with a girl who lied about her age. It is on Amazon.com

Now that the election is over and we have a new direction its time now to open your eyes about this sex offender registry. Do I believe in the sex registry I sure do but truth is stranger than fiction. I hope the USA doesn’t have the Archie mentality that this Nation can come together again. Some guy is talking about genocide and wanting to use that as some type of defense. Others on here talk about how wrong it all is and unfair. As far as myself I use biblical right. While the USA may use Civil right and the constutution they themselves are breaking the constitution and things that America stands for.
Who says a person can take away another person’s rights? Who says they can discriminate others for whatever they wish? Who says justice should be blind to their own God? Are you all slaves or bondservants to the USA? Sure their has to be laws but unjust is unjust. While I agree a lot with RSOL and these other advocates one has to say who’s principal is right. Are man’s pricipals right or are advocates principals right? Were only human.

In reply to Rajendra.

Our sex crime laws are human rights abuses by any civilized standard and flagrant violations of our own constitution. There is a history of Eugenics in the U.S. which has been brought up by other commentators on here…it seems like far-fetched paranoia until you start reading the history. There’s always some law-maker(s) somewhere pushing for castration of those convicted of sex crimes.

Rajendra , we could find examples of everything on the list of genocidal crimes you shared which have been inflicted on RSO’s.

I came across the definitions of the word “Genocide” according to the United Nations (UN), and I thought a definition/s might be applicable to the group, sex offenders, in the United States of America.

Link – http://www.preventgenocide.org/genocide/officialtext-printerfriendly.htm

Excerpt from the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide (For full text click here)

“Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

I am not a student of law, perhaps someone well versed in law can argue further.

JR if you go back and look at the Declaration Of Independance you will see a sentense in it Endowed by the Creator, and yes we are all created equal. Should the point be whats good for me is good for you. JR just listen. We all have a conscience. I’m sure we were all brought up to know right from wrong. None of us are saints. I’m sure you can tell that from this election.
I’m just saying theirs’ a right way and a wrong way. I’m sure if one need any other understanding the bible can help one out with man’s deceptions. We all make mistakes but to be branded for life is going a bit overboard wouldn’t you THINK. As a matter of the bible was one of the first books used in schools when this country got started or should we all least forget. We all make mistakes
Well JR I would rather be 100 times wrong than be right on anything. Maybe we should all just toss our bibles away before reading it and understanding.

In reply to James Townsend. Well James, some of the people are in the place they're in because they had no idea of the law they were violating or of the additional repercussions that would come with it. You really think that someone who's drinking on a beach, relieves himself there, and is henceforth charged with displaying himself in public had any idea he's end up on a registry for 15 years (or more)? How about the 19 year old mentioned by Fred? You think he knew? Saying that no one forces us to do this or that is hardly the point.

I agree that this is un-american. The whole registry itself is un-american. i have been on the registry for almost 13 years(only had 10) and I have become kind of numb to it.It has gotten to the point that I don’t stand for the national anthem anymore. They may as well strike the phrase land of the free out of the song because we as registered citizens aren’t truly free. As far as life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness goes about all we’ve got left is life and we don’t have much of that . If those idiots who made these laws had to walk in our shoes they might see how unconstitutional these sex offender laws really are.i feel for the guy that got arrested at the state fair and for his wife also. I believe it should have been handled differently.

Ok I didn’t want to do this but it seems everyone’s in a panic on here and doesn’t know which way to go. Now all of you on here think that you are being punished, well believe it or not you are. and I wonder why. Did you kill anybody, play doctor and get caught physically with your pants down, have sex with a teenage girl and the girl didn’t feel right or wanted to get back at you for some reason, or did one abuse someone, or maybe just maybe someone just got on an internet and had a potty mouth to some person on the other end and they use their craftiness to get you to come down to their level there four breaking your will and your choice’ or are we all carnal by nature?

All these laws that take away your liberty and your pursuit of happiness seem to be going down the tubes because you are are letting them. Is man killing man or are you letting man kill you by keeping you stigmatized and frightened of yoru own shaddow? I would say there is no second chances after one has did his prison time or probation to get a clean slate. Once a sex offender always a sex offender, right…… wrong.

Now use some common sense on here. I will be going back to court myself because I got on face book. Oops, that must be a no, no. Well lets see if its a no, no. Lets see if this State Fair banning sex offenders is a no, no. Lets see if this sex registry is a no, no. to a greater or lesser degree.
Do you all remember several months ago when someone commented to me about using the bible and christian belief’s. I’m sure you do. How many on here think that “Ministers of God” should deceive. Now there is no true or false answers in this. How many think they are breaking the Ten Commandments? How many believe they are taking your right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness away? If you get the answer right than your on your way to court and fight
.
Yes we all have choices and free will, if we didn’t than we would be like a puppet on a string and just let everyone push us around, government included. I can’t force you to do anything but remember if someone didn’t use force on you than why are you in this situation in the first place?
