So, stupidity does have consequences. Interesting.

For your information, they don't actually "freeze to death" they die of hypothermia and it depends on how drunk they are.

Consider that we spend $90,000+ per "homeless" puke per year. How many of you earn or could use $90,000?

That's probably true, unless these particular homeless we're discussing have superhuman strength or are especially thick-blooded...

Whenever I hear the label "sex offender", I wonder if the person is REALLY a sex offender or a teen who got caught with his girlfriend.

The system we have now has watered down the term "sex offender" by including people like this.

It is just wrong in so many ways and needs to be fixed.
Sex Offender laws do need to change. People can get the label if say, he was intoxicated and decided to pee on a tree or in bush. Or the new thing called sexting where teens send each other nude pics of themnselves are getting the label if they get caught.

I think if allegations are brought against them that are false, people are kept on it.

I agree with this. And it's not as rare as some might think!

Not to long ago I read about a 18 year old male and a 15 year old girl.

Yes, she got pregnant. Her parents filed complaints with the authorities.

He did almost a year in county.

Now they are married, he is having a hard time getting a job because he is on the sex offender list.

He would like to support his family.
A friend of mine was peeing in the bushes after a football game. He is also a registered sex offender.

So you can be more comfortable in the woods with the sex offenders in shelters, then?

I haven't bought one for a long time but I hear that condoms are inexpensive....compared to raising a child on the tax payer's dime that is
