Yesterday, something horrible happened in a high school. 3 boys were accused of drugging and raping 3 girls in a park, a public restroom until stopped by on lookers. Because of a few very very bad eggs 1000’s of other boys get the same punishments for never even having committed a crime.

News like that causes hysteria and panic, the lawmakers trying to boost popularity make harsher laws to treat the good, bad and every one in between in the same manner as the worst offender.

You see, you can’t get a whole bunch of tax money over a few bad eggs, but you can get it in truck loads if you scare the public into believing it’s an epidemic.

Read this letter and think twice before judging or voting on more money towards tracking these perverts of society. (BTW, less than 15% of the registry is even considered serious or violent but all get the same treatment from the serial rapist/murderer(.0001%) to the high school sweetheart). If you don’t believe me, it’s public and you can count how many for yourself.

I was born 22 years ago to a middle class family. We lived in the suburbs, my dad a carpenter and my mom waited tables part time. We had money for most things, not rich, but able to afford yearly vacations and such.

Growing up, I was never the cool or popular kid. I was shy I guess. I got bullied a bit in school as most kids do at some point or another. In Jr. High, the girls never liked me, I was a bit geeky I guess. I loved math and science and that wasn’t the coolest thing to be into.

In high school, my luck with girls didn’t improve much until my senior year when I met a girl who thought I was great. I thought she was incredible, funny, brilliant and HOT. We dated all through my last year of school, I was a senior and she was a freshman. That did not matter, we had a great time together.

I graduated and she went into the next grade. It was summer. I applied at a few colleges to study law and she was so proud of me. The school I chose was only a few hours away so we could see each other on weekends.

We had never had sex, but discussed it, she wasn’t ready and I was not gonna push her. One summer night we ended up at the beach, we dismissed the “close at dusk” signs and went anyway. We were caught making out and charged with trespassing. It was kinda awkward but funny. Her parents picked her up from the station and I was just allowed to leave with a ticket being an adult now.

About a month later, my parents (who I live with) got a call asking me to come into the station for an interview, I did. The police asked me what we were doing on the beach. I told them it was a date, we thought it was romantic. They asked me if I knew her age. I said of course, we had been dating for a year now. We met in high school , 2 semesters back. They asked if we had sex. I replied “is that your business? but no, we haven’t yet. They wanted to know what we had done and I told them we kissed and played around a bit, but that is all.

To make a long story short, I got charged with child molestation and spent the next 6 months in jail. I am now a registered sex offender and my college education is but a dream. I am not allowed to live at home with my family because I have a younger brother who is 13. I am classified a violent predator, a child molester and my photo is on the sex offender website. My parents have now become separated over this and how much money has been spent on making sure I am not homeless since I can not get a job nor live at home. My college scholarships were revoked over this and my parents took out a loan for my college tuition that they still have to pay interest on.

My little brother keeps running away and if I even go near him to talk to him, I can go to prison for 3 to 7 years. My now ex girlfriend is over 18 and has become addicted to meth. I have not seen her in years but I hear this from others. My life is over, I can never have a family since I can never be around kids and what woman would want me now anyways, jobless, homeless and a status of violent child predator? Another law in my state is getting passed that says registered offenders can not live within a few miles of a school or park. There is one of each in every community so I have no idea where to go. Like most in my situation I will go where they would like us to be, in prison.

The difference between you and this sorry fool, he got caught doing what every teen does.

The laws in many states say that a 3 year age difference, even when both are juveniles is a “sexual predatory” offense and molestation with life long consequences. So why do most schools open the door by being 4 to 5 year schools? Do they expect high schoolers to alienate themselves from junior classes? WTF? sick ass unjust shit.

I wish that boy luck, but I know he will never get any luck nor justice. The witch hunt for the high (state dollars) paying predator incarcerations continues. Especially now since marijuana is becoming legal in many states and the 2 to 5 year jail sentences for possession are but a memory of money lost to corrections unions… the money has to come from somewhere … and there are tons of teens. The few horrific crimes in recent years also put them into the “public safety above all” clause allowing a persons rights to fly out a speeding cop cars window. Basic human rights, living in a home, privacy(address not published unless crime involved violence), having family, kids and FREEDOM. Do you smell that, I do, Our  Beloved Constitution Burning.

ohh, this will be a long one because this issue aggravates me like none other..

For starters… just about every senior in high school who has dated a freshman or junior, the kid in college who is still dating his high school sweetheart, any dumb college kid who flashed or mooned anyone. the 12 year old kid who as a joke pulled down their younger siblings pants and laughed. the wrongfully accused and any man going through a bitter divorce with a vengeful wife. Anyway… 99.5% of the population

So know who is a registered sex offender? Anyone who was unlucky enough to have been caught and someone lying about the age is no excuse…..everyone should be able to tell the difference between 17 and 18! period.

think it could not possible be true? read on.

Los Angeles, CA–”When Ricky was 16, he went to a teen club and met a girl named Amanda, who said she was the same age. They hit it off and were eventually having sex. At the time Ricky thought it was a pretty normal high school romance.

“Two years later, Ricky is a registered sex offender, and his life is destroyed. “Amanda turned out to be 13. Ricky was arrested, tried as an adult, and pleaded guilty to the charge of lascivious acts with a child, which is a class D felony in Iowa. It is not disputed that the sex was consensual, but intercourse with a 13-year-old is illegal in Iowa.“Ricky was sentenced to two years probation and 10 years on the Iowa online sex offender registry. Ricky and his family have since moved to Oklahoma, where he will remain on the state’s public registry for life.“Being labeled a sex offender has completely changed Ricky’s life, leading him to be kicked out of high school, thrown out of parks, taunted by neighbors, harassed by strangers, and unable to live within 2,000 feet of a school, day-care center or park. He is prohibited from going to the movies or mall with friends because it would require crossing state borders, which he cannot do without permission from his probation officer. One of Ricky’s neighbors called the cops on him, yelled and cursed at him, and videotaped him every time he stepped outside, Ricky said.

“‘It affects you in every way,’ he said. ‘You’re scared to go out places. You’re on the Internet, so everybody sees your picture.’”

A 17 YO kid went to summer camp, sent there by his parents, he meets a girl at camp who tells him she is 16, they have a summer romance. Her parents find out, tell the kid she is only 13(he did not know, they are in the same teen summer camp together) he is now a registered sex offender for life. He is not allowed to return back to his school nor finish high school, he can never go to college or get a real job. Most likely he will spend 15 years in prison on registry violations before he is 40 and will be forced to move countless times as states add more and more places he no longer can live near.

A black man 40 years ago(then a teen) was wrongly arrested for “molesting” a white girl. He is railroaded by the white police and forced to plead guilty. 40 years later, the registry is retroactive he finds himself in prison for 5 years, as an old man for registry violations because the southern state he lives in says that registered sex offenders can not live within 1/2 mile of schools, parks, bus stops, swimming pools, churches, etc. leaving 1 hotel in the state that no one can afford daily or under a bridge. This man committed no crime other then the one 40 years back and was evicted out of his lifelong home because the state says he can not live there. Being homeless is not an excuse to not register an address and is 3 to 10 in prison as a violent felony in most states.

A 20 year old college kid at spring break moons a group of girls with his buddies, gets arrested for indecent exposure. one of the girls has her 16 YO sister with her in the crowd. He is a sex offender for life. 20 years later, now 40, married with kids and having committed no crime the police come to his home, arrest him for a week lapse in registration, seems the Read the rest of this entry »

With a six-week breather before the next primary, Hillary Rodham Clinton turned her attention to Pennsylvania and beyond to counter the latest in a string of victories by Barack Obama in Southern states with large black voting blocs. Obama won roughly 90 percent of the black vote in Mississippi on Tuesday, but only about one-quarter of the white vote. That was similar to the breakdown that helped him win South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana before losing to Clinton in Texas and Ohio, which has similar voter demographics to neighboring Pennsylvania.Clinton was attending a presidential forum in Washington on Wednesday. Obama planned to be in his hometown of Chicago.

With 99 percent of the vote counted, Obama had 61 percent to 37 percent for Clinton.

Republican Sen. John McCain, who has already won enough delegates to claim the GOP nomination, rolled up 79 percent of the vote in Mississippi.

Obama picked up at least 17 of Mississippi’s 33 delegates to the Democratic National Convention, with five more to be awarded. He hoped for a win sizable enough to erase most if not all of Clinton’s 11-delegate gain from last week, when she won three primaries.

The Illinois senator had 1,596 delegates to 1,484 for Clinton. It takes 2,025 to win the nomination. With neither appearing able to win enough delegates through primaries and caucuses to claim the nomination, the importance of nearly 800 elected officials and party leaders who will attend the national convention as unelected superdelegates is increasing.

Obama leads Clinton among pledged delegates, 1,385-1,237 in The Associated Press count, while the former first lady has an advantage among superdelegates, 247-211.

Blacks, who also supported Obama in overwhelming numbers in earlier primaries, accounted for roughly half the ballots cast in Mississippi, according to interviews with voters leaving polling places. About one in six Democratic primary voters were independents, and Clinton and Obama split their support. Another 10 percent of voters were Republican, and they preferred Clinton by a margin of 3-1.
