THE UK NEEDS THIS - 'sexual predator' signs.

The Florida county where police post 'sexual predator' road signs outside homes of convicted rapists and child molesters

One Florida county is taking its duty to notify neighbors about sex offenders living in the community to the next level and posting red road side outside the homes of rapists and child molesters.

The sheriff of Bradford County, Florida, decided the reflective signs, which have each offender's name, should be planted on the roadways outside the houses of convicted sexual predators to ward off children and notify parents about potentially-dangerous convicts in the area.

'If it prevents one more victim in my community, I've done my job as sheriff,' Sheriff Gordon Smith

They don't deserve human rights polo. The signs will gather the locals to make them suffer or worse hopefully as there outted now. This would never be allowed to happen over here beacause these kiddie fiddlers wouldn't last two minutes with a " its me " sign outside there house.

I disagree with everything I am about to say.

They are not protected. They are found guilty and do their time. When they return to the community they deserve the same human rights as all other free people.

Signs will attract vigilantes that will inflict further punishment for crimes they have already been punished for.

Now my personal opinion is that if we need to put a sign up for someone that could re-offend then they shouldn't be out in the community.

Our prison system and sentencing tariffs are what's fucked up. We give out lesser sentences because we cannot house these vile people.

You may say kill them, you may say lock them up for good. Whatever your view it will be better than the shit sentences that are being handed out at the moment.

Remember you are fighting extremely liberal views in the UK that believe in second chances, rehabilitated individuals and people that say 'its not their fault, they are a product of their upbringing or have a mental disorder'.

Ridiculous idea. If they are deemed fit enough for release then let them get on with their lives. If they arent then they shouldnt be free.

A huge % of people re-offend. Are we going to have "tax evader", "GBH", "attempted murder", "robbery" etc etc signs on every corner.

An idea that will only generate disorder.

Any amount of time in prison isn't enough to make up for what they put their victims through. Prison is too easy which is why people keep doing it. Its why you have people like Watkins because he knows in prison he has a rights system to protect him. Yes he will probably get battered by the inmates who hate him for what he's done but its still too good for them.

Good. I don't feel they have been punished enough. The legal systems in the western 'civilised' world doesn't punish, it aims to rehabilitate these sickos by giving them books and a shoulder to cry on.

Hopefully the vigilantes do the job the government should be doing with their taxes. That sheriff is a god damn hero in my eyes giving the people power to protect their own.

Now my personal opinion is that if we need to put a sign up for someone that could re-offend then they shouldn't be out in the community.

They shouldn't but this sheriff is unlikely to have jurisdiction over that decision so he's taking the measures he can to protect his people from these vile humans.

Our prison system and sentencing tariffs are what's fucked up. We give out lesser sentences because we cannot house these vile people.

We give out lesser sentences because politicians don't care - houses with top security, guard dogs, bodyguards often protecting them when with children, can afford highly skilled and trusted childminders - all the luxuries the average Joe cannot afford. They live in their own bubble where the risk is minimal and don't appreciate the real world and what people have to face.
You may say kill them, you may say lock them up for good. Whatever your view it will be better than the shit sentences that are being handed out at the moment.

Killing them would be too quick and easy. They should have to live knowing what they did and be reminded of it with that sign and by the people in the area who tell them what disgusting beings they are.

Remember you are fighting extremely liberal views in the UK that believe in second chances, rehabilitated individuals and people that say 'its not their fault, they are a product of their upbringing or have a mental disorder'.


People in the UK are already getting fed up with this nonsense hence the hit on the Liberal Democrats and the rise of a no nonsense let's tackle issues head on party like UKIP. People want action and not false promises of a utopian dream where we all dance in the local park with flowers and theres no criminal activity. The liberal view is one taken by people too idiotic to understand that some humans act in an evil manner because they want to or can. They always need to find other factors to blame as you correctly said shifting a degree of responsibility.

Has anyone else noticed the sign says 'John Goodman is a convicted sex offender'?

Should for the violent ones. Tax avoiders don't have a direct risk to children. I think this is more about minimising the risk to children in the street playing as opposed to trying to label them just out of spite. Again, more people thinking about the guilty person as opposed to potential victims.

How can anyone who molesters a child EVER be deemed fit? Prison is not the right place, it's a mental condition that they have!

Thats not for me to decide. For me, you dont molest a child unless you are mentally ill needing of extensive help. To label their houses in a vigilante society is ridiculous. There are many mental health issues suffered by people which makes every vulnerable around them, including children. Should we go around labelling their houses too? What about football hooligans that have given a minor a slap? A kid that has beaten another kid up in school?

It is not an answer to the problem and in fact just makes it worse.

That is what being a society is all about, everybody deserves the chance for rehabilitation even those that have committed crimes as a result of their illnesses. It is at our cost everytime a football hooligan puts someone in hospital - hang them too?

Its all well and good jumping on the "hang him" hyperbole everytime a subject such as this crops up, but quite simply it is not the answer.

But you can't really compare a football hooligan to a child molester, of course its a cost every time however you have to really sit down and think would the likes of gary glitter EVER be cured?

Re: THE UK NEEDS THIS - 'sexual predator' signs.

Sat Jun 07, 2014 10:40 am

Not much difference between a child molester and someone who beats people from with an inch of their life in the great scheme if things. Both are a major risks to the society, both likely to have psychological issues and both will have left damaging mental scars on their victims.

As for can Gary Glitter be rehabilitated... Neither you or I can say that. Never met the bloke.

People are the first to look down on the likes of Iran and Saudi Arabia for such government issued barbarianism and then in the next breath sound as if they want it.

Re: THE UK NEEDS THIS - 'sexual predator' signs.

Sat Jun 07, 2014 10:51 am

I think having a sign outside the house is just going to bring more violence and criminal offences. And since the law is in place to prevent crime I see that action as encouraging crime into a community.

So it's contradicting and non-productive for any law enforcement to uphold.

As Roath Magic has said if they are a risk they shouldn't be allowed out - there should be a life sentance for every re-offender or serial nonse, killer, rapist.
even if that life sentance is being kept in a safe house on serveilance after serving 30 years

But I think we can both agree the british justice system is laughable, if the punishment was greater you could argue would people think twice about doing the crime?

In some cases yes, in others no. Im not really up on my "length of time" per crime to be honest.

But im not sure someone with issues such as the ones we are discussing really rationale the act vs length of time if caught anyway.

We are always going to get paedos, we are always going to get murderers and we are always going to get rapists. Its worldwide and has been since man walked the earth. We must try and find out why these people commit such acts rather than sticking a "come get me" sign in their property after release and attempted rehabilitation.

Seems more of a pitchfork attitude than one of someone looking to solve the issue and actually make it better. One angle is prevention the other is retaliation.

Why should we spend our time and money rehabilitating nonces? As someone who wants to become a teacher I have no pity for the sick bastards. They make me sick and should make any other person with a moral compass feel the same.

What people don't realise is it is in political interests to let these nonces back on the street. Less people in the prisons means they can slash the budget and spend more money elsewhere or deceiving the public to buy second houses with their money.

They put them back on the streets to bother us and make it our problem and not theirs. Its okay for them in their closed knit utopian communities. They don't live in the real world.

Its going to take a political revolution to sort this mess of a country out and if its not UKIP it will be a party far more extreme doing such through their own measures.

Not an opinion id expect from someone with a desire to teach our youngsters.

We should use resources to rehabilitate them for the same reasons we try to do it with murderers, wife beaters and a whole host of violent offenders and mental health issues. We will always have these criminals, its in human nature unfortunately and not strictly confined to this species either.

I think some need a one way ticket to Saudi Arabia and live their lives by barbaric rule.
