Maybe subby should proofread instead?

they should try garbage dumps

my head assplode subby

Of course, these clumsy laws are written by these guys around election time:

Hang every one of them.

Anagrammer: Maybe subby should proofread instead?

Your housing isn't 2500 feet away schools?

/not subby

Damn those 2500 feet away schools!

Maybe they should try killing themselves.

If the term "Sex Offender" wasn't so useless as to include people who have done incredibly dangerous acts like mooning a passing car with a minor in it, or urinating in public...

And I'm sure I've heard the story before of the sex offender unable to find housing. Are we doing this for the children, or are we being creative about tar and feathering people? Because the original tar and feathering was better than severely restricting their movement, posting their personal info online, and waiting for their deaths to make the news. More humane, too.

hey, don't be bad at subby. he submitted this FROM A VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER.

Try the US Senate

Every generation of society needs its witches to burn.

Leave those poor farks alone. Your kid is more likely to get molested by his uncle than any of these hapless bastards.

well, according to the genius a few posts up, all of these offenders should be executed. if we want to be tough on crime, we can't keep making such logical distinctions like the seriousness of a crime now can we?

THey should just go diddle some more kids so they can go back to the comfort of prison with regular meals, a bed, and a roof over their heads.

Actually what's been happening is that they simply disappear and nobody knows where they are or what kids they're diddling.

Overbearing surveillance hasn't solved that problem at all. The criminals simply disappear into society. Fortunately the powers that be are becoming more aware of the problems that they've caused.

Boo Farking Hoo?

I think that should read "was 2500 feet away"

um WHAT!!

"DaCosta is not a sex offender but was ordered to live by the same rules as a condition of his parole. Police call him an habitual offender and he has a long record including grand theft charges, arson and burglary assault, to name a few.

Because he was order to live by the same rules as sex offenders he can't stay at his parents' house at night because there's a school bus stop nearby. But he's allowed to be there during the day and he usually is."

why? the senate already has more than its fair share of creeps, perverts, crooks, and douchebags.

How about the metric sex offenders?

So the end of the article has some asshat saying "This is the government that created homelessness"

So... it's the government's fault that these worthless beings couldn't keep their hands (or other parts) to themselves and the courts wonderfully showed justice and these scums went to jail and now have felony charges thus making them considerably unemployable unless they do collection for Aaron's RTO and thus have no money and no place to live?

Was this genuis implying something other than what I eloquently mocked?

Serious question: do these laws let people be grandfathered into their homes? For example, if an offender is already living in a property greater than x ft. from any school and a new school is built less than x ft. away, does he have to move?

The Army is always looking for new recruits.

I can't believe there are still people out there that think the label "sex offender" means anything. Seriously...there are people in this thread calling for the death of people who have committed crimes including public urination, indecent exposure (a very shaky concept), and having sex with a 17 year old.

fark you all, you ignorant enablers. Here's the problem with this little scorched earth campaign against sex offenders you support: the more you ostracize these people and the harder you make it for them to adapt to regular life, the less incentive they have to not commit a crime. Christ, how much worse can prison be than getting evicted from a farking bridge??? And guess what? Once these guys realize that they have no incentive not to go to prison, they're more willing to commit a crime to get back there. Pop quiz: if a sex offender decides prison is preferable to a life of vagrancy and near-starvation, what crime do you think they're going to commit to get back to prison? All you do with these stupid laws is encourage sex offenders to reoffend.

Seriously, it's like people shut off their mind when it comes to sex offenses.

Serious question: do these laws let people be grandfathered into their homes? For example, if an offender is already living in a property greater than x ft. from any school and a new school is built less than x ft. away, does he or she have to move?


FTFY

Jesus.

These people are being evicted from under a bridge. What a wonderful system. How do these "x feet from a school/church/bus stop/etc." laws jive with the Constitution?

mr_zero: Maybe they should try killing themselves.

Fraggler: Serious question: do these laws let people be grandfathered into their homes? For example, if an offender is already living in a property greater than x ft. from any school and a new school is built less than x ft. away, does he have to move?

In at least some cases, yes. There have been stories in the past of this happening.

It's an American tragedy that people support this witch hunt.

I'm living under a bridge right now, so I'm really hoping to find some food soon.

Partisan: Jesus.

Someone owns this land under the bridge. Therefore, it's private property. If I owned land with a bridge on it and a bunch of sex offenders were squatting there I'd probably tell them to 'vamoose'

I suppose you giggle a little, maybe get a little aroused at the thought of all the prison rape and beatings these people suffered?

Its probably a nervous arousal. You aren't really capable of dealing with the fact that you get your jollies off human misery and suffering. What you do know is that these people are scum, irregardless of the situation that preceded their enrollment on the Sex Offender list. These child-rapists, these women-molesters, these ignorant savages who don't deserve to enjoy basic human dignities like a roof or a semblance of privacy.

It's not like people can be enrolled on the list for being sexually active 16-year olds in a normal, loving relationship. It's not like a drunken night at the age of 21 can lead to a Sex Offender charge if an uptight cop catches you peeing on a wall.

Every single one of these people deserves to be castigated from society, to have their particulars continually available on the internet, to have restrictions placed on their location of residence such that they have to move 300 miles form a major metropolitan area, and to live out the rest of their lives knowing that the only work they can possibly do which will reward them with any decent wage is illegal.

I'm sure that the thought that the entire treatment of "sex offenders" in the United States creates a large criminal underclass that is hardened in Prison and forged in the fires of self-righteous anger from bystanders like yourself has crossed your mind, and the balance favours making sure that all these criminal scum are hunted like Animals.

Do you campaign to have them chemically castrated as well? Perhaps simply sterilized?

How far from simply executing every person who cops a feel while drunk do you lie on the spectrum?

These guys are some serious douche bags to be sure, but making them homeless is only going to make them untraceable to authorities. Untraceable sex offenders are the worst kind of sex offenders. You republican jihadists should use your brains sometimes.

Bucky Katt: Of course, these clumsy laws are written by these guys around election time:

given the situation I'm NOT in, if I were, I'd probably cut someone's arm off just so I could go to that PMITA place for my 3 hots and a cot. Desperation is a fugly thing if they want to and keep shoveling the homeless around. They're going to snap sometime.

Shiat. Make a deal with them: keep the taggers and dealers out from the corners and under bridges and you can stay. Just jump in the river once in a while and clean up. Soap is cheap. Helps when you want to come back into society.

There's no stupidity like local government crusader stupidity.

I was not making the statement about public urinaters or streakers or children that had sex in high school, I was speaking to the child molester portion of the sex offender group.

BTW I have bred and my children are stellar.

I don't think anyone is using Alcatraz. Let's give them that, a box of vegetable seeds and gardening tools.

Problem solved.

Of course this adversly affects my zombie survival plan. But I can work around it.

You shouldn't turn theese guys into criminals when they get out by zoning them out of areas. Eventually they will zone alcoholics from liquer stores, crackheads from crackzones, lawyers from anywhere.

I could have sworn that there was an article and discussion exactly like this a few months ago....

/Wont somebody think of the children!!!!
// I lol'd

While it isn't desirable for sex offenders, especially those who have offended against children, to live near where children congregate (schools, city parks, etc.), it's equally undesirable to pass laws that in effect make it even harder to keep track of said offenders. Most are on parole or probation, but it's difficult to keep track of them if they are being refused housing & are living on the streets, often moving from one place to another. If these offenders have no set place to live, it's nigh onto impossible to keep track of them & lessen the chance of them reoffending.

It's OK to beat pedos, they don't have any feelings

RockIsDead: Every generation of society needs its witches to burn.

Now if only it could be reversed, and you burn those who are claiming that the others are witches. I think that might solve a lot of problems :)

Your position on that Pedophiles can't help but be sexually attracted to children?

If society judges that someone is unfit to reside in the general public, they should take responsibility for them, housing and feeding them decently. Many people are held against their will in Psychiatric Hospitals, it strikes me that holding a Pedophile in an institution would be much more humane and cost-effective then having a team of police and parole officers ensuring compliance with increasingly complex and demanding legislation.
