Dear Sirs,
What is the point of this law? What will it take for this country to leave people alone? why must you continuue to destroy peoples lives?
heres an Idea, why doesn't the U.S. buy an Island and ship all the sex offenders there, to include there fmalies and friends, while the drug dealers are free to roam the schools and play grounds. How many kids have died and had their lives ruined by drug dealers, a lot more than any sex offence, but I gusses thats ok huh? This is just another way th US can strip the rights away from its people, to hell with due processes. Megan Kanka was murdered by a Murderer whom just so happened to be a sex offender, but he was a murderer and the precentage of sex offenders who actually harm their victims is too low to report. All this is, is a US Political Witch Hunt!
Also this law could put a persons life in danger while in another country, this person is still a US citizen and should be treated as such.
Level 1 Offender
I wished I had known what would come of being human. You - self-righteous monster creators - I damn you all to hell and, if I had my way I would kill you all with the simple push of a button. Humans are no better than dogs when banded together. Before I die, my 1st Amen. rights will be served. If I am lucky, then you who have done this to me, and those who think "they are so right," I look forward to the day you all die a miserable, intensely painful death. "God Almighty - make them all suffer - even their damned forsaken children forever to hell!"
