Once we implant people with RFID chips, this should all go much smoother.

Are we feeling safer yet?

Please sir, I want some more.

This was used in the American Gladiators thread, but it seems appropriate here, too.




Go back to bed, America, your government has figured out how it all transpired.
Go back to bed America, your government is in control.
Here, here's American Gladiators.
Watch this, shut up, go back to bed America, here is American Gladiators, here is 56 channels of it!

"Well, at least we don't have to worry about hurricanes any more."

"We need to crack down harder on sex offenders!"
"Sir, we've got every scenario covered."
"What about if there was a hurricane, and a sex offender had to take a bus to evacuate, and there was a kid on that bus, and the kid got separated from his parents, and the offender molested the kid?"
"...I'll write up the bill."

America, America, America.

What is happening to you?

FTA:"Earlier this month, it was announced AT&T Inc. has contracted with the Texas Governor's Division of Emergency Management to provide electronic wristbands for those residents wanting them, before they board an evacuation bus."

Between that and abetting domestic surveillance, AT&T is getting a little uhm... citizen friendly..yeah that's it!

Has anyone investigated to see how many registered sex offenders are true rapists/molesters versus public urinators and the like? I would be very curious.

Before we allow provide you with government resources to help you to flee this Category 5 hurricane, we must first require that you submit a set of fingerprints to our computer, and wait a little while to see whether it is OK for you to leave. Everybody line up over there.

FTFY

This will work well 50,000 people waiting for their background to clear to get on the bus

Combine this with how easy it's become for totally non-violent people to end up on the sex offender list (for example, drunk campus streakers) this is totally a recipe for win.

Good call, Number41. And on top of the obscurity of the situation, it's going to be incredibly expensive, difficult to enforce, and highly vulnerable to abuse. Meanwhile, the sex offenders with more devious intentions still have a big loophole: not taking the fricking bus.

im a sex offender trying to flee a hurricane zone so im going to be here awhile

Why not tattoo your FICA number on your forehead or right palm?

Don't worry, just drink the water and you'll feel fine.

Otherwise...

illustri: im a sex offender trying to flee a hurricane zone so im going to be here awhile

I'm an unregistered sex offender-to-be, so I'm looking forward to the decreased competition and increased sense of false security.

/"Good thing the sex offenders are on a different bus - we can all relax!"

Yeah, great plan. Let's make it MORE complicated to evacuate people since it already goes so smoothly. There will be at least one case of mistaken identity where someone is forced onto a bus of sex offenders and people with warrants.

Gosh, the real problems are really hard and no fun to solve.

I know, let's spend a bunch of time and money perfecting a solution to a relatively insignificant problem instead!

From the article:

"We're all entitled to privacy, but we're not entitled to anonymity," Colley said.


Huh? And in Texas?

Is this the America I know and love?

will this solution be final??

farbles - dunno. i fail to see the difference between this and the worst of what we were taught about the USSR in grade school in the 60's.

every political party, business, and government agency strives to do two things:

1. take away your money
2. take away your freedom

/think of the children

CygnusDarius: Don't worry, just drink the water and you'll feel fine.

I just made you up to hurt myself
And it worked

/Yes it did!

You know what would be good? A giant scarlet "S" for sex offenders to wear.

Easy to spot and therefore easy to separate. Then you can just leave them behind during the hurricane!

Preemptive excuse for the next Katrina disaster

no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Their not telling us about the part that requires all relief workers to collect all spoons,etc. that are provided to feed the evacuees cattle so it can be DNA logged.

/keep breeding,your childrens future looks very brite.

This has the potential to work the way it was intended if it's managed intelligently, but since it's here in Texas, where intelligence and management don't mix.

I like the bracelet idea, I'd wear one, just so my family knows I'm safe when I get to the evac site, or at least know were my body sank into the ocean to be eaten by crabs.

/either way, at least they know

"We'll be able to do it," he said of the task, declining to be more specific about the process because of safety concerns.

I think this alone deserves a Photoshop with the Ha Ha guy.

Piss Up A Rope: will this solution be final??

People who think this stuff is in any way comparable to the Nazi holocaust are complete and utter dipsh*ts.

Feel free to flame me, but I will wager that none of the people outraged by this live in Houston. Our post-Katrina violent crime rate has skyrocketed. Even the H-town gangs fear the transplanted N.O. gangs. And yes, I know this for a fact.

There will be no requirement to show an identification card, such as a driver's license, but officials may ask those boarding for an ID.

WTF?

Do you REALLY think this has something to do with liberalism?

You better be trolling.

FTFA: "Since it's a government record they're checking you against, there is not the same invasion of privacy concerns that may come up in other contexts," said professor Charles Rhodes, who teaches constitutional law at South Texas College of Law. "I think the need for it would outweigh any privacy concerns. This is a public safety issue"

The refutation of that is that it hurts public safety. In a major crisis, we know there's a good chance that the fundamentals will be executed awkwardly and incompletely. The mere existence of the program encourages evacuation workers to think about a trivial issue instead of fundamentals.

Of course, that argument won't work in a court of law :-(

MisterLoki: Feel free to flame me, but I will wager that none of the people outraged by this live in Houston. Our post-Katrina violent crime rate has skyrocketed.

They'll just put the criminals on separate buses, away from the "special needs" people.

farbles: America, America, America.

What is happening to you?

It's not America it's Texas. It's a whole other country.

Nice, so you are guilty until proven innocent during a disaster. Because I'm sure that the first thing a public urinator on a bus with kids will think is "I want to molest someone."

Pathetic. And sickening.

City surfing with hurricanes

Need more boogie boards!

ne2d: Piss Up A Rope: will this solution be final??

People who think this stuff is in any way comparable to the Nazi holocaust are complete and utter dipsh*ts.

People who think it can't happen anywhere else are complete and utter dipsh*its.

Nazi Germany didn't just suddenly appear any more than the Holocaust happened overnight. Lies were built on other lies and restrictions were added to other restrictions. It was never a problem until they started taking people away and then it was too late.

Do I really think this could happen in the USA? No, but it would be naive to think that the US is somehow immune.

Nice try, but Bullshiat. This has nothing to do with the Patriot Act and everything to do with the insipid, ridiculous liberal mantra of "think of the children!!" This is liberal bullshiat gone amuck.

1) Houston gangs must be pussies.

2) What does that have to do with the story?

Wow, so if a person is caught urinating behind a bar at 3 AM and is forced to register as a sex offender, he won't be able to flee a hurricane? It's about time those farking public urinators got what's coming to them.

Having been thru a couple of hurricanes, here's my idea: get rid of FEMA completely. When a hurricane comes, the government should warn people then GTF out of the way.

Wait, so is there a special bus for sex offenders? Or are they left to die in the hurricane?

Better set up the camps right now.

"Houston. Our buses are on their way."
"Roger that. What you got coming?"
"Two of the cripples, one of the oldies, and three of the pedos."
"We'll take the cripples and the oldies. Send the pedos somehere else, stat."

What community is going to want to take a bus load of sex offenders, regardless of what they are on the list for.

so, a sex offender couldn't kill someone and take their wristband?
