Sex Offender Restriction Opposed

Normally I do not endorse certain groups. However I have decided in favor on endorsing one, on one particular view. I am siding with the Iowa Civil Liberties Union today. They want the Iowa sex offender residency law overturned. I know many of my readers are scratching their heads at my position right about now. But there is a valid point to their position.

The law passed in 2002 requires sex offenders to live at least 2,000 from schools and day care centers. The ICUL believes, and thus has filed a petition with the court that this law is unconstitutional. The director of ICLU says that the law is breaking up families, causing homelessness and is an enforcement nightmare for police.

Yes, we must do something about this law. So I have proposed some changes to it, that I feel will be profoundly fair to both sides of the situation.

I here by recommend these changes to be made, original in black- changes appearing in red.



692A.2A Residency restrictions -- child care facilities and schools.


1. For purposes of this section, "person" means a person who has committed a criminal offense against a minor, or an aggravated offense, sexually violent offense, or other relevant offense that involved a minor. Or a member of the ICLU, or Supportive of the ICUL
2. A person shall not reside within two hundred thousand feet of the real property comprising a public or nonpublic elementary or secondary school or a child care facility, or a home that has minors residing in it, minors visiting it, minors driving by it, minors thinking about someday perhaps going in the general direction of it.
3. A person who resides within two hundred thousand feet of the real property comprising a public or nonpublic elementary or secondary school, or a child care facility, commits an aggravated misdemeanor. Will be sentenced to life in prison
4. A person residing within two thousand feet of the real property comprising a public or nonpublic elementary or secondary school or a child care facility does not commit a violation of this section if any of the following apply:
a. The person is required to serve a sentence at a jail, prison, juvenile facility, or other correctional institution or facility. DELETE THIS PORTION
b. The person is subject to an order of commitment under chapter 229A.
c. The person has established a residence prior to July 1, 2002, or a school or child care facility is newly located on or after July 1, 2002. DELETE THIS PART COMPLETELY
d. The person is a minor or a ward under a guardianship. DELETE THIS PORTION

E. Is dead and has been properly buried in a cemetery and thus imposes no harm on society.




Oh yeah- I truly believe my revised version is WAAAAY better, and just look at it this way, the ICLU no longer has to worry about the poor sex offenders feeling all alone- because with the new law the SO and the ICLU can spend every minute of every day hugging each other and expressing their love, and how great it is to be sick freaks of nature. The ICUL can no longer complain about the law causing homelessness- after all they can all double up now. And as for splitting families up- well the SO can now also include the ICUL as family- so they've actually gained relatives. And best of all -Iowa Police will no longer have enforcement issues- because I can safely say 200,000 miles is way outta their jurisdiction.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
