ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Sex offenders tracked by the state are banned from public hurricane shelters in Florida under a new policy that allows them to weather the storms in prison instead.

I think they should stay at the homes of ACLU members since they are so concerned. <_>

I think if they're going to be treated like second class human beings, then that means their prison terms are probably not long enough.

If people still believe they are a threat to society, and don't want them in storm shelters, then why are they free?

What's the point of all this?

On one side, they may have served their prison sentence, but on the other side, are they really considered free and equal people by the populace even though they "did their time" (hypothetical)?

I think the real problem hasn't been solved, and this is frustrating to see because it's a sort of "unofficial" dealing.

I feel that if you're going to release a sex offender from prison, but you still don't believe he's rehabilitated and able to be accepted as a full functioning member of society, then what the fuck was accomplished in prison?

Why let him/her out?

If it's not possible, life them.

Don't let them out.
