Nosey People in Sex Offender's Lives

I, like many of you, have children that go to public School. 

Where I live, the Superintendent is so kind when you are released from your probation/parole by sending you a letter stating that you will be arrested if you enter into the school grounds due to your appearance on the registry. 

As you might guess, it makes it very difficult to pick up my small children from school, if I will be arrested for picking them up.  Yes, interesting paradox wouldn't you say.  Become responsible, keep your nose clean, do the right thing...

Well, it is very difficult to do the responsible thing, such as picking up the kids, if I am not capable of doing so.  The problem here is, the letter, isn't even a law.  However in the State of Texas, once you are warned about trespassing it is a felony to break that warning.  

So how do I pick up the kids, without breaking this 'order'?  I pick them up off school property.  Not the greatest of setups I understand, but it keeps my kids safe (I can watch them leave the building), and it keeps me safe because I am not on their precious school grounds.

Something happened today that REALLY irritated me. I was sitting again at my normal spot waiting on the kids to walk down the sidewalk to get in the car, when this irritating old cunt decides to do the slow drive by.  I understand in this world of bullshit information about SO's lurking in every bush, that she was probably in high alert for the ever lurking 'pedo'.  I think though, that one of the most irritating parts of it, she continues to stare, and drives even slower as she rounds the corner, and CONTINUES TO LOOK AT ME and the car. I can see her reaching for her cell phone, and all the while thinking that today is the day that I have to explain to my SMALL children why dad cannot pick them up at the front door.

This irritates me greatly.  In trying to live by these stupid retroactive laws, I lead myself into even more scrutiny.  How poetic.   

So tomorrow, I will handle things a bit differently.  If this same woman drives by, I will make it a point to hang out of my window, flip her the bird, all the while scream at her to mind her own fucking business.  Yeah, I am that tired of the bullshit.

So anyone out there reading this, that is an rSO and can pick their kids up directly from school remember, life could suck that much worse. 

As for me, I will continue to pick up my kids there..  I am not violating any of their laws, tenets, or mis-information.  If I do however see that bitch again, I am going to go out of my way to give her the finest one-fingered salute I can muster.

Attorneys who do not defend 'Child Molesters'

I was just ready an attorney's blog regarding child molesters and his not defending them. By not defending, I mean he will not take that person's case.

Although, I do not find an issue with anyone not wanting to do something that they might find distasteful, immoral, or something that makes their day feel not so warm and fuzzy, I do take issue with this.

A person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, right? Well, here is a defense attorney that states he will not defend a 'child molester'. Mr. Attorney, umm, how do you know he did it? If this guy still has to go to Trial, He has not been reviewed in front of the bench as guilty or innocent, then how are you defending a child molester again?

I know several defense attorneys. I have talked to them at great length about what they do or do not do in their chosen field, and what their take on things such as sex offenses are. I have never had one of them say, sorry I will defend a mass murderer that just took out a school of children, but I will not defend a child molester...

How do you make the determination, or is it that he too, the attorney. falls into that majority of idiots that allow the mis-represented fear actually control his thoughts, and allows him to pass judgment when sometimes, none is warranted?

When do the defenders stop defending, and become just another moron that believes information that is not based on facts, nor studies? I guess in this case, I have found that out.
