1. My Personal Experience With A Registered Citizen
When I was in elementary school, there was this one boy I first met in the third grade. For the purpose of this article, I'm going to refer to him as Gary.
Gary was short for his size. However, it made no difference to me or anyone else in my class. We all liked him, because he was a fun kid to be around.
Gary was also in my fourth-grade class the following year. I remember when we were getting ready to go on a field trip, my mother and Gary's mother had both volunteered to be chaperones. Gary's mother and my mother were sitting next to each other as we were all waiting to leave to get in the bus that would take us on our field trip. Both women were talking with each other like two typical housewives making small talk.
There was only one time that Gary became irritated with me, and I don't remember why he did so. He talked about wanting to beat me up, and I responded that he would have no legitimate reason to do so in that he and I were both friends. After that one conversation, he and I got along perfectly. He knew that I respected him, and he, therefore, respected me.
After my fourth-grade year, my family and I moved to a different part of our county, and I had to attend a different elementary school. Therefore, I never saw Gary again for the rest of my school days.
Years went by and then one day as I was working in a customer service call center, I received a random phone call from Gary's parents. I told them who I was and that I had gone to school with their son when we were little kids. They remembered me. They were happy to be speaking with me.
Gary's parents told me that Gary was now married and had four kids. I was astonished, because I had always figured Gary to be shy with girls back when we were little kids. Of course, neither one of us were thinking about romance back then.
What was so strange about this conversation with Gary's parents was that when they asked me to let them put their phone receiver down so that they could get something, I could hear them arguing with each other in the background as though they were dealing with something quite stressful. However, I dared not ask them why they were doing so.
So many years later I decided to look Gary's information up on the Internet. Quite shockingly, I found out that he was on the sex-offender registry. He was the last person on Earth that I would ever expect to be so.
Whenever you find someone you know on the sex-offender registry, you always expect it to be a class bully whom everyone hated back in school and would enjoy the thought of such a person ending up on death row. Back during our childhood, Gary was always such a well-behaved kid insofar as I could never envision him getting into trouble for committing a sexual offense.
After I looked up Gary's offense, it turned out that he had been convicted of some kind of sexual encounter with a minor. Then it dawned on me that the date of the conviction was around the time that I had spoken with Gary's parents on the telephone back when I was working as a customer service representative at a call center. I figured that his parents had probably been arguing with each other, because they were stressed out about their son being in trouble with the law for a sexual offense involving a minor.
Now, I had to figure that Gary could not have gotten into trouble for sexually molesting a prepubescent child, because there is no way that he can be a pedophile. For all we know, it could have been that he and his wife were each on opposite sides of the legal age line the very first time that they made love to each other, and the police decided to pursue a criminal case against him so many years later for it. I've heard of stranger things happening with the police in my area.
Fortunately, Gary was doing well financially. He owned and operated his own land surveying company. Of course, his parents probably helped him out financially to set up shop for it. It appears that he may be stuck on the sex-offender registry for the rest of his life, but at least he and his family will not starve to death or become homeless or both. The sad thing about it is that most individuals who fall into similar or identical circumstances as Gary did are not so lucky.
2. The Poor House Vs. Complete Homelessness
As I was surfing the Internet, I came across a YouTube video by Vanessa Wingardh titled "Billionaires Wants Us Homeless." The video was quite informative and accurate in that it is true that a countless number of middle-class Americans are being priced out of housing here in the United States. The only complaint I had about her video was that she mentioned nothing about the impact that this crisis is having on people on the sex-offender registry ("registered citizens"). Below is her video.
Vanessa Wingardh Explains The Housing Crisis In The United States
As far as I know, none of the Americans that Ms. Wingardh showcased in her video were registered citizens. Therefore, if many Americans are hanging on to their homes by a thread, I cannot even imagine how difficult it must be for registered citizens even to keep a roof over their head. Fact has it that many of them are sleeping under bridges.
Because the sex-offender registry kills job opportunities for registered citizens, most of them are earning no more than perhaps $11,000 a year. If any of them are earning a six-figure income or something as substantially decent as that, it's only because they own and operate their own business; and usually their parents have helped them out financially to make it possible. Sadly enough, not every registered citizen is going to have that same option.
If billionaires don't want average Americans to have a roof over their heads, you can only begin to imagine how they view registered citizens. After all, it can be no secret that billionaires have a stake in the prison-industrial complex. They're making a mint off of these registered citizens' cheap labor once these registered citizens become homeless and end up being forced to return to prison on some minute administrative error in their sex-offender registration.
Billionaires don't truly care about criminal justice. If they did, you wouldn't hear about them engaging in heinous sex crimes themselves with impunity.
Below is a video in which Norman Michael Achin describes a young man whom the police railroaded in an online sex-sting operation, even though this man was never looking to have sex with a minor. Because this man is going to be stuck on the sex-offender registry for ten years and will have a police record forever, his financial situation will become a nightmare on top of the one he had to face upon being arrested for something that he didn't do. His credit will definitely be ruined because of it.
Norman Michael Achin Describes A Man He Knows Personally Whose Life Has Been Wrongfully Ruined Because Of Police Corruption
In his video above, Mr. Achin specifies that this same man who was railroaded is only in his mid-twenties and is supporting a wife and kids. Therefore, not only is this man going to suffer the consequences of the police's corrupt activities, but his wife and kids will also be living a substandard quality of life because of it.
What is so outrageous about this incident is that if a suspect in an online sex-sting operation actually is proven to have intentions of committing a sexual act, it is usually something that would be perfectly legal for a 15-, 16-, or even 17-year-old boy to do. Moreover, when there is no victim at all, no justice can be served in treating the suspect like a serial child rapist or some kind of pathological child molester.
If the above-described man in his mid-twenties is lucky enough to land a job in spite of his police record and sex-offender registration, he will hardly be in a position to negotiate his salary with the employer upon being hired or in the future. Below is a video of a man the same age as him who describes how employers couldn't care less about their employees or their individual situations.
YouTuber Life Outrage Exposes The Ugly Truth About Employers And How They View Their Employees
One time when I was employed as a paralegal at a workers' compensation law firm, there was a snow blizzard in my area. From home I phoned the female lawyer who was my employer to ask her if I could have that day off because of the inclement weather and the hazardous street conditions. She said no and gave me a lecture on how she wasn't going to shut down her law firm for the day because of snow and that the courthouse isn't going to stop operating because of a snowstorm.
In hindsight, I can only imagine how this female lawyer would have acted if a registered citizen was working for her and he or she did the same thing. She would likely have rudely reminded that individual that he or she wouldn't have an easy time finding another job because of their sex-offender status if she were to fire them. She would have hired a registered citizen only to have a psychological punching bag, because she was that cruel of a person.
3. Beyond The Barbed Wires Of The So-Called Land Of Milk And Honey
In the comments section to Norman Michael Achin's video above, a YouTuber who goes by the user name of posted:
Even if he takes probation its still a felony. He will never have a good job, his family is ruined and on top of that he will be on the registry. And for what? A made up kid that the police pimped out. Let's be logical about these stings. The police are pimping out kids and promoting sexual abuse towards kids
Another YouTuber who goes by the user name of @Ninja1k-h3q replied to YouTuber and posted:
Parish, not all SO's never get good jobs, im proof of that, BUT, it took me 16 years to get it and i did in fact go through some shit ones before i found it. My 1st job (right out of prison, 5 years non-contact offense) i worked for a manufacturing company making 9$ per hour working 68 hours a week , until my 50 year old body just couldnt do it anymore. I found one & im doing ok now...not rich, but comfortable...
Both of these same YouTubers make valid points. Once someone's information is placed on the sex-offender registry, it becomes nearly impossible for them to find a decent-paying job. The only way around this debacle is for them to go into business for themselves as my former classmate Gary did. Doing so necessitates start-up capital, and usually that registered citizen must turn to their parents for help, which is not always an option.
When a registered citizen is supporting a family, their financial situation is compounded by all the indignities and degradations of being on the sex-offender registry. Having a police record doesn't help either, to say the least. My response to this situation is, "Why would they even want to remain here in the United States from that point on?"
There is a gentleman named Steven Robert Whitsett who is currently living in Germany, and he helps registered citizens from the Anglosphere and their families immigrate to Europe to get away from all the madness that ensues with dealing with the sex-offender registry and the dangerous vigilantes that threaten their daily lives. Mr. Whitsett and a colleague of his named Misty have organized a support group for the families of registered citizens. Below is a video of his in which he and Misty talk about it.
Steven Robert Whitsett And Misty Describe A Support Group They've Organized To Assist Families Of Registered Citizens
The family of the registered citizen that Mr. Achin describes in his video above would stand to benefit from the support group that Mr. Whitsett and his colleague, Misty, have organized. In that event, they would all likely feel tempted to leave the United States altogether and start out fresh abroad. Germany has become the most immigrant-friendly nation toward Americans and people from other parts of the Anglosphere for that purpose.
4. Final Thoughts
The majority of arrests of registered citizens stem from honest administrative errors with their paperwork rather than from actual sexual offenses themselves. Below is a video in which Ahmad Jamal Blakemore describes this problem.
Ahmad Jamal Blakemore Explains The Severity Of American Sex-Offender Laws And Their Ramifications Even At The Administrative Level
You're probably asking yourself, "If someone is innocent of a sex crime, why would they even plead guilty to it, knowing what their life is going to be like in the aftermath of it all?" Well, here is the problem. Usually they don't know what their life is going to be like from that point on.
Moreover, we have to remember that one out of every five inmate is raped behind bars here in the United States. The fear alone of something like that happening to someone confronted with a false, unfounded sex charge is enough to sway them into walking into a lifetime of misery and oppression. Why no state jurisdiction within our nation has passed a law to make prison rape a capital offense is beyond my comprehension.
In any event, my response to this same conundrum is that the only solution that people in this type of undeserved predicament have at that point is to expatriate from the United States altogether, because their life here is over as they know it. The criminal justice system here in our nation is not getting any better for people who have been wrongfully convicted of sex crimes.
The American dream has died for almost everyone who wasn't born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Therefore, there is no reason for a registered citizen to believe that their life here in the United States is going to get any better with time. I'm always hearing about elected officials passing a new law that makes their lives more difficult than before. The best solution for them is to leave the American nightmare behind and immigrate to greener pastures.
Now, I'm not looking to sympathize with violent rapists or any other dangerous sexual predators whose only objective is to harm others. However, the elephant in the room here is that there are way too many people on the sex-offender registry that don't belong there; and we all need to be aware of it, because you could easily become one of them no matter how much of a law-abiding citizen you are.
