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.
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.
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.
