ssurgulUnfuckingbelievable.
Now, not only are registered sex offenders forced to admit, and even 'outed' by the Sheriff's dept., but they get to be blessed with an ankle bracelet that is hooked up to a GPS tracking system.
We can't actually spend the money to help rehab these people, so they won't reoffend. It's just a lot easier to ensure they are stigmatized and ostracized and persecuted for the rest of their lives, not to mention invading almost any of their remaining privacies. Where are these things for burglars? I feel FAR more threatened by them. What about mass murderers that get off on technicalities, or get 'rehabbed' and released after only a few years, or whatnot? When will this bullshit end?
And why don't we just help each other sleep all the more.
