Renton Sex Offenders

by Lynn Glessner

The City of Renton maintains a website listing high risk sex offenders, their picture, and registered address. Parents, or just concerned citizens, should review the site periodically, and sign up for email alerts.

If you want to torment yourself, go ahead and read the descriptions. I don’t understand why people who are “likely to re offend” are out in society. I understand that the guy has served his sentence, but as far as I am concerned jail is about more than just punishment. Jail is also about keeping society safe. If a person is still a danger to society, that person still needs to be locked up.

Weedman failed his sexual deviancy treatment and is seen as a chronic predatory sexual pedophile. Weedman is classified by the Department as a Level 3 offender, which indicates a high probability to reoffend.

This is an example of someone who needs to be locked up for the safety of society. Find out who lives near you by visiting the City of Renton website. At their website, you can sign up for email alerts. Obviously, the most dangerous predators are the ones that haven’t been caught yet, but gather whatever knowledge you can.

    I totally agree with your assessment, Lynn. While I feel that prisoners, in general, who have served their time are free to go about their (crime-free) business once they are out, sex offenders cannot be trusted at any time when they are released into the neighborhoods of our children. In fact, I would go so far as to say that all sex offenders have to be COMPLETELY segregated from ALL children for the duration of their registration. The only way to do this, legally, is to create an amendment to the US Constitution to segregate them to sex offender colonies.

    Although I’ve posted to several sex offender blogs, I still feel it’s very important to get this message through. Our children and families are under a greater threat of domestic terrorism than at any point in our country. We should consider not only restriction the length of distance a child molester lives from our schools and parks, but consider a concentrated place to intern registered sex offenders AWAY from ALL children and vulnerable citizens.

    It is time we seriously consider building sex offender colonies throughout the western United States and Alaska.

    It is obvious. Nobody wants sex offenders to live in their neighborhoods, or even their cities. I’m a parent, and I would fight tooth and nail to prevent sex offenders from living anywhere that children may live, even if their victims were people they knew. It means NOTHING to me; what means EVERYTHING to me is they committed an atrocious crime against children. That’s enough for me.

    Unfortunately, these sex offenders have rights. If they are not in prison, they will probably get the ACLU to sue the city and we will have to spend thousands of dollars defending the restrictions.

    The ONLY thing, therefore, is to create an amendment to the US Constitution, creating sex offender colonies to restrict where these convicted sex offenders live in the first place. How to do this?

    The first thing that needs to be done is to create an outline of such an amendment. I looked at the process for how an amendment is created. Here is the process:

    Under Article V, there are two ways to propose amendments to the Constitution and two ways to ratify them.

    To propose an amendment

    1. Two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote to propose an amendment, or
    2. Two-thirds of the state legislatures ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments.

    To ratify an amendment

    1. Three-fourths of the state legislatures approve it, or
    2. Ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states approve it.

    I would submit that the state legislature route would probably be more effective, but the congressional method can be tried first. It can effectively be used as a litmus test for voting, i.e., if someone doesn’t want to vote for proposing the amendment in congress, their 2008 opponent can have a field day in saying that the incumbent protects sex offenders at the expense of children’s safety, etc.

    Such an amendment would solve many problems. First of all, the registry would not exist in its current form. Parents don’t have to worry where the sex offenders live, as they all would, by law, have to live in the colony. This also eliminates the need for GPS, as the sex offenders would be restricted to the colony in the first place. No worries about convicted child molesters stalking your children’s school or favorite park, or trolling on the Internet.

    Next, registrants would constitutionally have to be subjected to non-court ordered search of their premises within the zone. In addition, all their mail and phone calls would constitutionally be authorized to be monitored for illicit activities. Internet usage would also be strictly regulated, with all file storage for every computer actually done at the server-level. In addition, emails would be assigned by the administration, no Instant messaging or accessing MySpace or other children sites allowed, and all keystrokes and sites visited will be recorded 100%. All costs for such usage would be borne out by the offender, incidentally.

    All registrants would be required to work, with their paychecks being handled by the administrators. Deductions for medical, rent, all services, and everything else would be done automatically, and any credit the registrant have be used for discretionary income ONLY from the colony store. Also, EVERY registrant will be required to go through treatment appropriate to his crime, and be certified as cured; otherwise, he can be subject to a felony charge and returned to prison.

    Now, please keep in mind one thing: The sex offender colony is NOT…repeat…NOT a replacement for tough, appropriately long, non-paroleable sentencing guidelines in the first place! THAT IS PARAMOUNT. The colony would exist because society cannot handle the large amounts of offenders in their neighborhoods, with the inherent terror parents have with the knowledge that offenders are around their children. Therefore, the colony is SPECIFICALLY for offenders to spend their entire registration periods in a constitutionally-approved manner, eliminating the need for registries as they exist now.

    Keep in mind, many offenders also are able to leave the registry for certain crimes after a specified amount of time has passed. Therefore, once a registrant’s time period has expired, he can petition the administration to be relieved of the duty to register and live in the SORERA zone. A panel of professionals, law enforcement individuals, and the offender’s victim representatives, will go over the request. If they feel the offender is ready to join society, then he can leave the zone and live anywhere he wants, although he will have to permanently register with law enforcement wherever he goes for the rest of his life. Bear in mind, also, that any registrant who has to register for life will NEVER get the opportunity to leave the zone. Only the most benign of the registrants will ever be allowed to leave.

    So there you have it. With a constitutional amendment, we can control where they live, where they work, and how they communicate, with confidence that they won’t have a “relapse” when our own children are in striking distance.

    All interested people are encouraged to write to me at man4theages@hotmail.com to further this just cause.

    Lynn, this is the ONLY path we, as concerned parents and community leaders must take. Keep in mind, this is NOT illegal if done in the manner proscribed as above, and is the BEST PRESENT we can give our children in Renton.

    You’ve obviously put a lot of thought into this. I think that if the logistics just of operating the island prison of Alcatraz were too much, then we wouldn’t be able to implement such a large-scale system.

  3. Andrew Taylor Says:

    The Seattle Police Website has an excellent section on sex offenders:

    http://web1.seattle.gov/police/sexoffender/

    The tracking information is for Seattle (obviously) but the FAQ section
    ( http://web1.seattle.gov/police/sexoffender/faq.aspx ) and the safety information section

    ( http://web1.seattle.gov/police/sexoffender/safetyinfo.aspx )
    seem universally useful.

    “Peter Del Valle” is a dangerous man. He would do the same thing to an entire class of people that we did to the Japanese-Americans in World War II. He doesn’t respect the ideas this country was founded on and his ideas could destroy countless families and wreck literally tens of thousands of childrens’ lives if they were ever implemented, but I have faith that the people of this country are not stupid enough to cater to his insanity. See http://angryoffender.com/subtle_manipulation.html and learn how the media is changing the way you think without you even noticing.

  5. Lynn Glessner Says:

    That’s a great website, Tao, thanks!

  6. TAO Says:

    No problem, Lynn. :) Hopefully other visitors think so. The feedback is appreciated.
