Now, the MAJORITY of people on the registry are NOT DANGEROUS, especially not to children. But few people know this. Or else they don't care. <br />The combination of sound-bite, drama-driven media, opportunistic politicians (and even though I'm a Democrat and sent her money, Martha Coakley was one of these people re. these cases), bad lawyering, voracious states attorneys seeking higher office and/or attention and judges worried about re-election all came together to contribute to a huge miscarriage of justice. <br />Now, with the Comstock case, there are people who want to carry this even farther. <br /><br />There are so many people on the very popular and public whipping post registry now, that the truly dangerous pedophiles, like Gerrido, can hide right under law enforcement's noses. And the numbers grow exponentially every year. <br />But it's a boondoggle for unscrupulous politicians and drama-driven media types, ala Nancy Grace. It's the most popular witch hunt around. You'd think every Romeo/Juliet case, every public urinator, even men visiting 15 yr. old prostitutes who look older and lie about their age are dangerous to CHILDREN. <br />This is a crime but it helps us win the contest for the most overpopulated prison system in the world too, even more than China and Russia...what a country. <br />In the meantime, so many people's lives are being ruined and the vigilante's get whipped up to go after those everybody-loves-to-hate public sex offenders. What a justice system. <br /><br /><br /> <br />For anyone who wants to really know something true about this, please go to: <br />http://www.reformsexoffenderlaws.org/index.php <br /> MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT SEX OFFENDERS <br />http://www.csom.org/pubs/mythsfacts.html<br />http://www.false-allegations-team.com/suetiggershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222568367616428469noreply@blogger.com
