Recently an activist by the name of Barbara Farris was arrested for the charge of "menacing". I have not been able to find out the details of this arrest so I will impart my scenario of what most likely happened. Convicted sex offenders are banning together in an attempt to financially hurt those who are the most outspoken against them. Somehow I see this "menacing" accusation as being just that, will no real foundation behind it. But knowing the legal system as I do, it can be expensive and time consuming to defend yourself against charges no matter how bogus they might be. Thats the beauty about sex offenders, they are as predictable as x-lax when it comes to lying or bending the truth. But I digress, for activist out there if the SO's want to play down and dirty with the justice system, it might be time to play back. If you find a convicted sex offender "loitering" with his pants unzipped, I highly recommend you call 911 ASAP and report it. Keep your camera phones on the ready if you spot a SO in the vicinity of a park, playground, church with daycare or any other places where children congregate...remember a photo or video is as good as a cop seeing it. Good luck out there and dont give up the fight..and dont forget about Barbara she needs us more than ever..

Dave Aronberg is dangerous to Florida's Families

Aronberg has some mission page to try and connect with voters that just doesnt quite jive with his actions on the Floor. He was the only Senator that tried to shove repealed sex offender residency restrictions down the throats of Florida's families. Think about it? You want this guy as Florida's AG? I dont think so! Aronberg seems to have turned out to be the worst of A political full time candidate, constantly on the rung trying to grab more and more power and taking more and more from Florida's families...He brags about who is endorsing him in his political aspirations and trust me, they are NO ENDORSEMENT..Elenore Sobel is in the same mindset and "no action" club as Aronberg, her claim to fame? Tanning beds..yep I lose sleep over that one everynite Elenore...Its bad enough I have candidates like Aronberg and Sobel sucking the lifeblood out of Florida on a daily basis but when some jerk like Aronberg wants to repeal restrictions for those who have no qualms about chewing our children up and spitting them out..its time to vote him and his endorsers out the door..

I have tried my best

I have tried to be fair and balanced on this issue...and its not working. It becomes more obvious to me everyday that a tougher, harsher stand must be taken against those who feed off our women and children. I reached out to others on both sides of the fence and everyday the crimes get worse and worse with less and less justice afforded to the Victims.
Put a fork in me..I have taken the heat from all parties involved and have officially decided there is no middle ground on this issue. I kept at arms length groups who I thought were too extreme on either side of this issue. No more..I wanted access to Legislators, Law Enforcement and the judicial system without them precieving me as too radical. Well the play is out of the Pup and I see now there is no middle ground to be had. I thought I would be more effective fighting for issues that effected my State and I still do, because those are the issues I have educated myself on. But for every foot gained we are loosing two...its time to get down and dirty on these crimes and the people who commit them..

In this day and age when an adult steps over the lines of sexual boundaries with minors you have to ask yourself? What was this guy thinking? With all the publicity surrounding the repercussions of engaging in sexual relationships (consentual or not) with minors, you have to deduct these guys arent the brighest bulbs in the box and warrant oversight.What sex offenders and their advocates love as a rebuttal is the (offender was known or close to the victim) well Duh! Its amusing to tit for tat on these issues with offenders. They resent the registry and use the argument that offenders are relatives or someone in close proximity to the child. Well, I am curious as to just who they think registered sex offenders are? They are fathers, brothers, husbands, coaches, clergy and all those who positioned themselves next to a child for no other reason than for their own sexual gratification. Lets face it, we arent talking about the space station here. I have to wonder why offenders, offenders websites and those who advocate for them think and maintain that overall offenders are harmless and rarely repeat their crimes. To which I would have to reply, “if a guy has no qualms about molesting someone close to him, he sure wouldnt think twice about using yours or mine’s child for his own selfish motives, given the opportunity”. The more offenders allowed to live among us, simply equates more opportunities.I find this outrageous and careless. What most people fail to realize is we have been “conditioned” by Law Enforcement and the Judicial to accept these offenders in our airspace for no other reason than “money”.The old adage, “money is the root of all evil” is certainly applicable in this social issue. Oh, they throw families and children a bone or two by mandating residency restrictions or barring them from parks, but overall what they have really done is throw their hands up in the air and due to the fact they dont want to spend the MONEY, “condition” you, the public, to live with them. The danger in this, contrary to what offenders and their advocates want you to believe, is offenders are RE-Offending at all time rates. The justice department released figures that when you read thru the legal-eaze of it all has increased, not declined.Mr.Russell Dion Lewis the man profiled in this arrest will wind his way through the justice system, be labled a Convicted sex offender (if we are lucky) and then proceed to jump the hoops of registration and compliance. Then Mr. Lewis will resent his status and moan and cry he cant find housing due to his sex offender label and round and round we go, until some legislator “Sen.Dave Aronberg” comes to mind and spouts off his 2 cents on the issue of lowering the residency restrictions to accomadate men like Mr. Lewis.Ahh the circle jerk never ceases to amaze me. Aronberg wants these men closer to our children to ensure more affordable housing for them.Maybe I am just an idiot and have no place to interject my ideas. But men like Aronberg should have a muzzle put on them before they do their research and make uneducated statements as he has.Afterall his only lame solution is to allow these men closer without looking at the big picture. What will his solution be next year after more offenders move into Florida? Lower the restrictions to 500 feet. Left up to Aronberg he will probably campaign for an “adopt a sex offender campaign” at this rate.Maybe we should try:
Those convicted of “Romeo consentual sex with minors within 4 years of age of each other should be taken off the registry NOW.
Convicted sex offenders who’s crimes included “consentual sex with a minor” outside the 4 years,need longer sentences and should be allowed to petition to be taken off the registry after 10 years (after release) if no other offense of any kind has been committed.
Criminal alien offenders of which there is more and more should be deported immediately and where there is what I call the weasel clause of politics (no formal relations) be kept incarcerated.
A moritorium against offenders who committed their crimes in other states be forbidden to set up residency in Florida.Its obvious by Florida’s sex offender numbers, more are moving in than going out.
Offenders who committed violent sexual crimes be incarcerated for longer periods of time and “no gain time” be incorporated into their sentence.
What people dont understand is, you have already paid for this, but your children just dont warrant the efforts. In the DOC’s mind, let them all out and throw the dice.I have many more, but if the “powers that be” want to do something about this issue, lowering residency restrictions and trying to mandate them across the state is insane.

A Letter you may write

I wrote my immediate elected officials this am. I am in Florida but you may be elsewhere so see fit to add, ignore or make any changes that effects you.

As my elected official I am requesting that on the FDLE sex offender website you request "Country of Origin" to be posted on each offenders Flyer. After much research on Florida's sex offender issues, I have become painfully aware that a disproportionate amount of Florida's sex offenders are "not" US citizens. The families in Florida are not interested in Skewed Immigration policies that may or may not effect deportation as to whether we have "formal relations with a certain country or not". What we are certain of is Florida is drowning in Offenders who by law should have been deported after serving their sentences,and not be released back out onto the streets of our state to only feed again. This is not an immigrant bashing effort. This is a grass-roots effort to make our elected officials at least cognizant to fact that as Taxpayers and Parents we are tired of suffering at the hands of those who should not be allowed to commit more crimes because of Politicians failure to take action in this area. We also feel adding "country of Origin" is paramount in maintaining a database to ensure whatever direction the issue of Amnesty or Pathways to citizenship may or may not take, it will be fully realized that these are not the types of citizens Florida will pay for or accomadate. I and many many others are awaiting your response or lack thereof to this request.Sincerely,

"Anyway, one of my mottos is, "You dont ask, You dont get"...Politicians love to jump on "Protecting the children Efforts" lets see how serious they are?

I had lunch with an unnamed city commissioner last week and the topic of the 2010 Census came up. I made mention that at a previous commission meeting, I was alarmed and dismayed at the praise awarded to city employees who were congratulated on their efforts to canvas certain areas of the city and ensure those who were not documented would have no fear of retaliation when participating in the upcoming census. The commissioner stated that she wanted to make sure that her city received Federal funds allotted to communities based on census guidelines. While I understood her immediate financial concerns for her city, I was bothered by the repercussions of the bigger issue and made no secret of it.
When illegal aliens are included in the census, states with large numbers of illegal immigrants are rewarded with additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and more votes in the Electoral College. Theoretically, a state could have a population consisting of 100 percent illegal aliens and it would still be allocated House seats based on its total population even though no one could legally vote. Some 70 percent of all immigrants have consistently tended to settle in six states: California, New York, Texas, Florida, New Jersey and Illinois.
I expressed to the commissioner that whatever Federal funds she had hoped to garner due to population numbers in her district would be more than offset due to the outlay of funds her city would have to expend on housing, education, crime and increase in police presence. I reminded the commissioner that her city is now home to one of the most violent gangs in the country and to further encourage the population (the undocumented Population) that anonymity would be a priority during the census is paramount to advertising itself as a sanctuary city. In the bigger picture, the grasp for funding reminds me of immediate gratification with little thought of long term ramifications. I found very little comfort in this type of mindset by an elected official, although I approve overall of this commissioners efforts and her accomplishments to date
It is made woefully apparent to me that throwing funding at a problem and hoping it will seek its own level is not working. Unchecked immigration and dismal deportation policies are eroding the quality of Life for Floridians and I for one am not going to stand back and say or do nothing. Its not fair for Floridians and its not fair to Legal seeking Immigrants who already at a disadvantage have to cope with a community running on threadbare services due to those who consistently take more than they give back.
Whats important to remember is we are and have already paid for Huge Government Agencies to enforce the laws concerning immigration in this country. Florida has more Law Enforcement Agencies on the public’s dole than most other states. My old adage “Liars can figure, Figures don’t lie” is very relevant that when you add up the billions of dollars thrown at Florida’s Law Enforcement each and every year, its amazing we have so much as a shoplifter in this state. Let alone one of the deadliest (undocumented) gangs in the country. I am not comfortable with the upcoming census and how its being used in the short term. The American Public shouldn't’t be either.

Insane

The ACLU's Howard Simon said it's great that the folks living at the bridge will soon get homes, but questions whether this will solve the overall problem. "It's like dealing with the symptoms and not the cause," he said. "It's only a matter of time before there will be another shantytown." Rigoberto Gonzalez, a 57-year-old who served 16 years in prison on multiple child rape and molestation charges, shrugs when asked where the state should send him. He's been living in a tent under the bridge since he was released in May, and is aided with food and water from friends. Gonzalez has no family - they are all in Cuba - and says he can't work because his green card was taken away when he went to prison. "If the government pays for an apartment, I'll go," said Gonzalez, in Spanish. "I would prefer to work and pay for an apartment myself. All I ask is that they treat us like people, not animals." He adds that if he were given the option to return to Cuba - a country he left in 1980 - then he would go back. "In Cuba, there are human rights."

Doesnt anyone other than me find the above article insane..send his criminal ass back to Cuba what the hell are we waiting for?
