Magnolia thinks I am some kind of disgusting pedophile.
See this is the emotional outrage I am speaking about.
Magnolia, you cannot approach this subject with any amount of objectivity because of the emotional outrage that you feel about pedophiles.
While there are vile disgusting pedophiles out there that do indeed prey on children, they are in fact very very rare.
Sex offenses have the lowest recidivism rate of any other crime with one exception: Murder. This means that those that have committed sex offenses are less likely than any other criminal(besides murderers) to ever commit another sex offense or any other offense in general. This is a verifiable fact that you can look up if you don’t believe me.
The media and people like Nancy Grace have sensationalized this topic like no other. Because of the emotional outrage you are feeling, and I completely understand it.
I’m not defending anyone that would hurt a child. But honestly you need to read some information about the truth behind the ever-expanding registries and “sex crimes” that legislators keep churning out.
What I am doing is defending every Americans constitutional rights to fair and due process and the rest of our God given rights. The sex offender registries do not work, are unconstitutional, and are being used to violate ex post facto all around the country. If they worked people like the Garrido’s would never have done what they did (that’s just one example, there are many many more). It has even been suggested and can be argued that the registries do more harm then good for communities and society at large.
This law supports the constitution. One hundred percent.
If Trump were just an average Joe and had been accused of sexual assault by as many women that accused Trump of sexual assault, then with just their testimony alone and no other evidence a jury would convict him and he would spend a long, long time in prison because of the same outrage you feel. Even if it were only one woman there is a very very high chance that average Joe Trump would be convicted.
I challenge you to be objective and think rationally about this.
dp0622; I have read your posts. You are very lucky that you were not indicted and charged. Very. Very. Lucky. I have not read many horror stories that were averted, after what you went through I imagine you are as upset as me that supposed supporters of the constitution cannot think objectively about this topic. It drives me crazy.
Man, people are put on the registry way too easily.
If they REALLY only included REAL sexual predators on the registry, the recidivism rate on that list WOULD be high, I think.
But because of the vast numbers of ways you can end up on the registry, the REAL dangerous folk are thrown in with everyone else and LESS attention is paid to them.
And that’s the worst part. You look on a map and there’s 4 million offenders in your area. Come on man. Show me who is a REAL danger. Otherwise it defeats the purpose.
