Bill Blathers Molester Monday - Satire

What a great time! Learning to talk to that monster Bill Blathers made me want to scream. However, I kept my composure and let him have it with my suave personality and wit. He would belittle himself with rash, inhumane words but I held steadfast. He wouldn't bring me to his level...a level that judges another because he is afraid of what he doesn't understand. He doesn't know the facts and truths behind this issue at all.

Monster You Made lyrics
By Pop Evil


Take a good look at me now
Do you still recognize me
Am I so different inside
This world is trying to change me
And I admit I don't want to change with it
And I admit I can't go on like this anymore

Erase this monster I've become
Forgive me for all the damage done
It's not over
Say it's not over
I'm begging for mercy
I'm only the monster you made me

I'm better alone now
See I'm torn from my mistakes
And I stop believing that I could ever make things change
How much can I take
When I know that it hurts you
How long can I wait
When I can't go on like this anymore

Erase this monster I've become
Forgive me for all the damage done
It's not over
Say it's not over
I'm begging for mercy
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/p/pop-evil-lyrics/monster-you-made-lyrics.html ]
I'm only the monster you made me

Because who I am
Isn't who I used to be
And I'm not invincible
I'm not indestructible
I'm only human
Can't you see
The beauty in me

Take a good look at me now
Can't you see I've changed

Erase this monster I've become
Forgive me for all the damage done
It's not over
Say it's not over
I'm begging for mercy
I'm only the monster you made me

Far away through the pain
I hear the angels calling
Far away through the pain
I see my demons falling

Far away through the pain
I hear the angels calling
Far away through the pain
I see my demons falling

Erase this
Erase this
Erase this monster you made me

Merced County supervisors OK jail realignment proposal - Local - MercedSun-Star.com


Under AB 109, violent sexual predators and high-level sexual offenders would remain under the supervision of state parole. Low-level sex offenders, however, would be monitored by probation officers. Supervisor John Pedrozo asked Ball whether sex offenders would be evaluated under the new system. Ball said the California Department of Corrections performs a risk assessment of each offender before their anticipated release date. Ball said the county will do its own risk assessment when the California Department of Corrections sends an offender's paperwork.

I thought these two articles very interesting in contrary viewpoints....Of course, the one below is from an America news media (kirotv). Even though it is an older article, it is a shoddy display of statistics with maps and videos that aren't linked and likely intended to incite more hysteria since they aren't accessible. Why put them??? The other article above is from the United Kingdom that tells the facts with a simple outlook without causing fear.

Teen sexters are not criminals

German Documentary (Intro) - Not In My Backyard



New Movie coming out--"Not in my Backyard". Hmm, very catchy title and barbarically, how most Americans feel. Don't deal with them. Don't see them. It is an American mentality for a perfect society.
Of course, this film is from any another country since America is too blind to see or deal with this situation...Heaven-forbid, never in America. Do you think the movie will actually reveal the truth with statistics and evidence. Many hope so. Interested in seeing but at the same time, also apprehensive .

""NOT IN MY BACK YARD" approaches based on the story of two convicted sex offenders one of the last taboos of our society: the social rehabilitation of child molesters. But not as usual, the film represents the aspirations, fears and cries for help of the perpetrator in the foreground, and also raises the question of the real participation of society in the existence of child molesters."

National Call-In Day, October 5th - make the criminal justice system more fair


Families Against Mandatory Minimums logo 


On Wednesday, October 5, FAMM members will join other national organizations and thousands of people across the country in a National Call-In Day. People across the country will call Senate leadership - Senators Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) - and ask them to make the criminal justice system more fair, support public safety and reduce costs to taxpayers by passing S. 306, the National Criminal Justice Commission Act. 

S. 306 would create a bipartisan commission to review current criminal justice policies and make recommendations for system-wide reform. We believe that any review of the criminal justice system will necessarily include a review (and rejection) of mandatory minimums.

We think that this Commission will help move the ball forward and bring about reform but we need your help to make it happen.

To participate, mark your calendar for October 5. FAMM will send out contact information for Senators Reed and McConnell as well as talking points the morning of October 5.  Let’s inundate them with calls! 

Thank you --

24 hours to tell Florida State's Attorney Angela Corey not to try a 12-year-old as an adult


We need to act responsibly here and stop using our prison system 
to warehouse human beings like unwanted cargo. This young person
deserves a future not a sentence. 
Attorney General Corey, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???

An outraged Citizen of Florida…

Change.org
Sign the Petition
Dear Carol,
Cristian Fernandez is only 12 years old. And if Florida prosecutor Angela Corey has her way, he'll never leave jail again.
Cristian hasn't had an easy life. He's the same age now as his mother was when he was born. He's a survivor of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. In 2010, Cristian watched his stepfather commit suicide to avoid being charged with abusing Cristian.
Last January, Cristian was wrestling with his 2-year-old brother, David, and accidentally broke David's leg. Despite this, their mother left Cristian with his brother again in March. While the two boys were alone, Cristian allegedly pushed his brother against a bookcase, and David sustained a head injury. After their mother returned home, she waited six hours before taking David to the hospital. David eventually died.
Now Cristian is being charged with first degree murder -- as an adult. He's the youngest person in the history of his Florida county to receive this charge, and his next hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.
Melissa Higgins works with kids who get caught up in the criminal justice system in her home state of New Hampshire. When she read about Cristian's case, she was appalled -- so she started a petition on Change.org asking Florida State's Attorney Angela Corey to try Cristian as a child. Please sign Melissa's petition immediately before Cristian's hearing tomorrow.
As part of his prosecution, Cristian has been examined by two different forensic psychiatrists -- each of whom concluded that he was "emotionally underdeveloped but essentially reformable despite a tough life."
Cristian has already been through more than most of us can imagine -- and now the rest of his life is in the hands of a Florida prosecutor who wants to make sure Cristian never leaves jail. 
The purpose of the juvenile justice system is to reform kids who haven't gotten a fair shake. If Cristian is sent to adult prison, it will be more than a tragedy for him -- it will also be a signal to other prosecutors that kids' lives are acceptable collateral in the quest to be seen as "tough on crime." 
Cristian's next hearing is in just 24 hours. State's Attorney Angela Corey needs to know that her actions are being watched -- please sign the petition asking her not to try Cristian as an adult:
Thanks for being a change-maker,
- Michael and the Change.org team

Housing for sex offenders - very scary


This website is full of lies and it is so vindictive that it is condemning. This type of mentality is nothing more than a vengeful hate out to destroy other peoples' lives without looking at the facts or circumstances revolving them. This thinking merely causes additional hysteria and fear while dividing society and I promise it won't stop there. This site is a sheep in wools clothing and presents an asinine "solution" to the sex offender concern. She in fact is chastising many low-risk, non-violent offenders for the rest of their lives. Subjected them to no second chance and without hope, giving them a life of hell.

S.O.S. Sex Offender solutions:  --"We will also be the first to start a program that will classify sex-offenders and we will color code them based on their offense."

"We plan to make this business a national corporation providing housing in every state along with providing the first website that will list in depth the crimes committed by the offender. "

"Housing for sex offenders placed on a registry  will invest in several establishments with an office/small store near potential locations in Central Florida, South Florida and the panhandle housing up to 400 offenders per a facility.  Each facility will require light renovations, adding signage, office equipment and furniture, setting up Internet and phone, shelves and displays approximately costing $5,000 just renovations. The Housing for sex offenders placed on a registry will set up a web site for each offender to feel out an application this application will help on the cost of running the office."

Food for thought:

"Barbie Farris is the penultimate con-artist. Even if what she proposed was even an honest attempt at creating this camp, I wouldn't trust a woman with her track record of failed businesses to run such a venture. Others have covered her VERY WELL.
 
 
Now, Barbie's crazy like a fox. Foxes are clever as well as crazy. Barbara Farris's REAL goal is to increase statewide residency laws, along with a side goal of defaming SOSEN's name as well as sabotaging the RSO camps already in Florida. Remember, this bimbo tried to get a daycare started to shut down one trailer park housing RSOs not too long ago, along with her arrests and her lame attempt at a reality TV show.

As an aside, there was a company with the same name that was selling RSO tracking devices. Oh joy."

"When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect."
~Adlia Stevenson U.S. Vice President (1893–1897) and Congressman (1879–1881)

On a Personal Note

Thanks for the opportunity to express my thoughts regarding the issue of citizens’ rights, particularly addressing certain sex offenders’ crimes that do not fit the devastating, inequitable and endless punishment given.


As you know, many young men and women lives across the nation are being destroyed by incarceration, life-time registry and restrictive laws that do more harm than good. For those individuals, there is no second chance.

Below is a personal letter to President Obama:
* * * *
“Dear President Obama,

I truly agree with your sentiments that individuals, such as ex-felons, should be able to receive a second chance at life. Since we all know that one can veer off that path of life and travel along rough, rocky terrain, sometimes running off and ending up in some ditch. We all have made our fill of mistakes and sometimes those held a costly consequence that changed life forever. So we lived through it, trying harder to make things right with family, friends and those around us, but what about those who aren’t able to make things right even if they tried…because they’re labeled as too dirty, a leper, a person who is rejected from society and home.


But what if they’re a seventeen year old and had sex with a fifteen year old, consensual at that? Or they’re a teen that had gotten so enraged after a breakup that he sent out naked pictures of his girlfriend on his cell phone or email? Or an individual urinates where someone just happens to see them?


All are wrong and a travesty but do they deserve the life of no second chance with a registry that ends all. They are labeled, no jobs, no where to live…they have been deemed a menace to society, a plague. These certain circumstances, and many other situations similar to these, I believe still deserve a second change.

Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution


Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.


After my son’s early release and two years of prison, I thought I had handled that fact graciously knowing after serving his time he would be able to get that fresh start, that second chance. He was an exemplary inmate, GED, college courses and vocational classes. Little did I know that a second chance on the outside was the farthest from the truth? He now struggles and lives in a trailer park sharing a trailer with another and surrounded by others in the same rocking boat, one to float endlessly in shark infested waters. I see him little because of probation requirements (he couldn’t live with us because we were 800 feet near a school). My family is afraid of what would happen to them if he lived with them…vigilantism. My son has no other place to stay since others condemn him of his crime that is screamed from the highest rooftop. Sex offender, sex offender!

Not all sex offenders are pedophiles or predators but some are simply young kids that make one stupid and rash decision that eventually changes everything, and they have no idea what they’ve done until their life is never their own. Exactly, where is that second chance for those sex-offenders who are lumped together with pedophiles and predators? Now, it makes me sick to think of my son’s future and many like him that are on the registry and many with no second chance…ever. I am asking you as a mother and as another concerned citizen of the United States that these laws are looked at again and taken into serious consideration in what they are doing to the Constitution of the United States, not for sex offenders in general but the future rights of every citizen, before anymore are put into effect. They unjustly strip an offender of their rights and place them in a guillotine that can be easily set off by anyone and at anytime. Where is the second chance for ex-sex offenders in the present, pending and future laws?”
* * * *
What truly saddens me is the weakness and deterioration of what the sex offense issue is doing to our once, great nation. Across Europe, others are seeing the injustice and disregard of rights, but we ignore this problem and it makes me wonder where humanity is heading….

We have become a hysterical society in which our latest witch-hunt is a sex offender--no matter his/her crime.

Below is a email sent from a foreign advocate to a father of a sex offender:
* * * *
“The tragic story of your son's death is just so sad that it's difficult to explain how. It was very hard to read your letters. It seems almost unbelievable that this can take place in a democracy! From our point of view, there is no justice in this. Not in any way: not for you, your son, the former girl friend – or even the state.

It is an abusive legal system. It seems barbaric. And we are so very sorry that this takes place. That's why it's so important for us to try to neutralize the debate with this…, hopefully making some changes. ….. to show the every day life of the sex offenders, trying to show how they keep on being punished, even after served prison time…..But we will for sure tell the story of the injustice that your son has been exposed to.”
* * * *
I appreciate everyone's commitment and backing to protect everyone's civil rights, plainly as noted in the Constitution of the United States and is presupposed, giving ALL men are “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.”
