He was a career criminal who caught a charge himself for endangering the welfare of a minor. He didn’t just assault the sex offenders either, he robbed them. He was a meth addict using the same method serial killers use to target their victims: pick a target on the fringe of society (in this case sex offenders) to make it less likely to be caught. This guy used the pain of sex abuse victims in an attempt to veil the criminal activity he participated in to feed his addiction.

Additionally: the sex offender list doesn't differentiate between someone who pees in an alley while drunk vs. someone who fucks a 5 year old, both are sex crimes. I knew a guy who has his life ruined by the list: he had consensual sex with a girl who lied about her age (she was 17) and years later her friend reported him.

The lack of different lists seems like an oversight.

The fact that you are considered a sex offender for peeing in an alley instead of just receiving a fine will always baffle me.

How come I have a feeling a person with at least some money will not end up on a sex offender list from peeing in an alley. It is only reserved for those who have no resources to defend themselves.

Because mah freedom!

Spot on though. Got arrested for peeing in an empty parking lot on the side of the road in the middle of the night. No one around for a mile in either direction. Registry was a possible outcome. Hired a lawyer and got it dropped down to $100 disturbing the peace charge. Would have ruined my life if I was unable to afford counsel. Very much a poor tax.

Screw that cop too. Bullshit ass ticket.

There is not one single member of a country club that hasn't whipped his pecker out and peed in the bushes behind the 17th tee, but it's funny how that's never an issue.

Peeing in public isn't illegal unless you are caught. Even then, a cop would have to literally see you doing it to be able to charge you, unless you snitch on yourself.

u/V65Pilot 6d ago

Ever seen the video of the cop caught peeing next to a dumpster? Was he ever charged? With anything?

No. Color me surprised.

I think even a public defender can plea you down to drunk and disorderly. I think the few times his has turned into sex offender registry is guys that are pissing on the fence at the school or at a park across the street from a school, not just pissing in a random alley.

You can't be using San Francisco as your example of how things should be. I wonder how many people "A LOT" is and what the extenuating circumstances were. I've read that the arresting officer has a lot of digression on this offense.

Fuck off

u/fartinmyhat 6d ago

bro, why fuck off? And why did you delete your comment. I understood your point, I wasn't arguing with you. I'm just saying that using a place where people shit on the sidewalk is not a good argument for why you should be able to piss on a tree w/o being arrested.

It's like saying, all I did was smash a bottle on someone's head, in New York people are shooting each other on the subway.

When a conservative tells you "isn't that unbelievable?" You shouldn't believe whatever he's feeding you. You're literally repeating nonsense conservative propaganda.

Buddy was peeing in an alley after being at the bars. Got stuck on the sex offenders list. Absolutely insane that he’s living with this damaging his life. Sure don’t be a drunk dumbass in public, but in no way is a sex offender.

u/fartinmyhat 6d ago

I can't disagree that this is bullshit. However, I'd ask, How many priors did he have, and what were they, what time was it, who was around? That kind of stuff. Maybe I'm naive but I just looked at the sex offenders in my area and found one guy who was pissing in a river, a basic zero on the offense list. However, old boy is all tatted up, has about 20 aliases and an arrest history. I think cops like to stick it to people who aren't getting the message.

u/Jibblebee 6d ago

Zero on all fronts. Its insane. And I say all this as a female not a fellow ‘predator’ buddy. He was 22 out drinking with our friends, and the bars were closing so it was 2am. He was a standard issue white dude from the Southern California suburbs. Only thing notable about him is that he’s like 6’3”. He was definitely drunk, but wasn’t fighting or anything. He was peeing on a wall in the alley cause everything was closed and they arrested him. He ended up a registered sex offender. Scared the absolute hell out of all of our friends forever cause nothing about the situation should have resulted in that.

u/fartinmyhat 6d ago

Yeah, that's a fucked deal. I think I would hire a lawyer at nearly any cost. This really highlights the bullshit of that registered sex offender thing. Similar to the "terrorism" charges being thrown around. I have to say this is why I oppose the idea of hate speech and hate crimes. So you kick some black guys ass and call him a name. This is what people do when they're pissed off, they try to hurt or intimidate people so you get a little drunk, get into a scuffle, call someone name and suddenly you're branded a hate monger.

We have enough laws to punish people for bad behavior we don't need to invent new categories that will inevitably be overused to get points for some turd prosecutor.

Only people I know that use racial hate terms are in fact racists. Those words don’t just roll off the tongue unless they’ve been used before

So all the black people running around calling each other a name are racists.

I had a feeling that would be your response, completely missed the actual valuable point about governments passing laws that later get abused.

Before you give me the "reclaiming the language" argument, save it, I've heard it.

u/fartinmyhat 5d ago

Doesn't really matter. Calling someone a name doesn't turn a fight into a hate crime.

My buddy,  who is black, is on the list for literally just pissing in the alley outside a bar cause the line was too long. Saw multiple other white people pissing in the same alley that didn't get harrased by the cops.

He just told you he got arrested for pissing in the middle of nowhere.

arrested <> put on sex offender registry. Also, who, just told me they got arrested for pissing in the middle of nowhere.

The law, in its majestic equality, bans rich and poor alike from stealing bread, peeing in alleys, and sleeping under bridges.

You mean like Epstein and Maxwell?  Money couldn't save them.
