\"Trolls
\nThis morning, a Miami Herald <\/a>article describes a woeful situation wherein a group of sex offenders are being forced out of their homes under one of the Miami causeways;<\/p>\n

Convicted sex offenders who have called the area under the Julia Tuttle Causeway bridge home got a rude awakening early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

They were visited by state Department of Correction parole officers at 5 a.m. The message, delivered in writing, was clear: The residents have until 9 a.m. Monday to vacate the bridge, which spans Biscayne Bay, linking Miami to Miami Beach.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Poor little fellas just can’t find a home because of the choices they made;<\/p>\n

The ordinance does not allow convicted sex offenders to live within 2,500 feet of a school. The state requirement is only 1,000 feet.<\/p>\n

The state Department of Corrections, charged with supervising offenders after their release, said no offenders were ever assigned to sleep under the Julia Tuttle bridge. The department simply OK’d the location because offenders said it was just about impossible to find a place to live within the ordinance’s restrictions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, DOC shouldn’t have allowed it in the first place, so the time has come to correct the bad decisions they’d made in the past.<\/p>\n

‘We had a nice place going here. We had it set up. It’s not a perfect situation. We have no running water, but we had it set up like home, like a community,” he said. State officials said offenders had received the first eviction notice on Tuesday and that four of the 19 residents already had found other places to stay by Friday night.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Holy mackerel. You mean some of the hobos found some other place to live that wasn’t under a bridge? Well, that sounds like it was a good decision to make them move, then, huh? Anytime homeless people aren’t homeless anymore, it seems like a good thing. But that’s not the case, I suppose.<\/p>\n

Ray Taseff of the American Civil Liberties Union in Miami said the move to evict the residents will ”ultimately boomerang on the city” of Miami, causing offenders to go underground.<\/p>\n

”This is the government that created homelessness, and now the government is effectively trying to banish them from the community,” he said.<\/p>\n

”If these people are homeless and engaging in life-functioning behavior, it seems to me that violating their parole is a violation of their Eighth Amendment rights,” said Taseff, who said the ACLU will help the residents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yep, the ACLU wants to step in and defend the rights of hobos and pervs to live under a bridge – against the rights of law abiding citizens to keep their children safe. To prevent government from performing the essential function of keeping law and order in the community in it’s charge.<\/p>\n

And yeah, it does banish them from the community – but the next community with more lenient laws is just a few miles away. If someone lives under bridge, I can’t imagine they’d need an 18-wheeler to move their possessions a few miles away.<\/p>\n

It’s beyond me how ACLU continues to function when they spend so much of their time protecting the rights of people who deny basic liberties to their victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
