Great minds think alike!
Quote From: beaches109I totally agree with you. And the registery should be for sexual "predators", not "offenders". Also, why just single out the sexual offenders for a registery? If society wants to keep kids safe why aren't drug dealers listed on the net as well? And why stop there...anyone that's been arrested for anything should have it displayed on the net for all of the world to see! You can't descriminate against one type of crime - I'd like to know who the burgulars and drunk drivers are in my community too so I can keep an eye on them!
The bottom line is that everyone should be cautious because we don't really know who our neighbors are or what they are capable of. Is it really fair to continue to punish these offenders once they are released from prison when they have paid their debt to society. How can any of them possibly start a new life (assuming some of them truly want to), with such a glaring spotlight on them. I totally agree with you. If these people want to stick labels on these offenders, let's put the labels on all of the criminals. When you go out to your boss' Christmas party and get pulled over for a DUI, let's post your picture on the web. Or you and your spouse get into a domestic dispute, let's plaster your faces on the internet for all your neighbors to see. Sound ridiculous? Well that's how stupid it is to post people pics and info on the internet if they aren't sexual predators. There is a big difference between an offender and a predator or pediphile. Somewhere along the line there has to be a change in the legal system that says that if you are arrested for something like sexual assault, or exposing your parts in public, that you don't have to register everywhere you go. If society is going to judge everyone, then let's put all the boozers on one block, the hippocrits on another, the adulterers on another, and so on and so on. Also, if you are so worried about your child being kidnapped or molested, then watch them more closely and stop leaving them alone while you and your friends chit chat or whatever.
