I do speak from experiance in these matters. almost 25 years ago I got in a little trouble after I met a girl at a party. We ended up in my car fooling around. I was 20 then. She looked like the rest of us. Turned out she was underage. I ended up in county jail for a couple of months. There was nothing forced or violent about what hapened. I did my few months and moved on. Then 10 years later with retroactive laws I was forced onto the sex offender reg. It ruined my life. I lost everything, divorce . Ended up having to live in my car. I rebuilt my life and did very well. Then in 07 almost 23 years later I was for the first time forced onto the public internet for all to see as an offender agianst kids because of 1985. The night mare started all over again and worse now. People think I rape kids or something. I have no legal options. I am not aloud to go to court at all. Yet I am not being punished they say. You all pay to keep tabs on me. If I don't follow all these retroactive laws now and any new they come up with I end up in prison. I never went to prison in the first place. I am forced to pay a reg. fee of $50 as well because of 25 years ago. I am one of those people that your law maker says you need protection from. Just so you know I have never ever had a sex crime before or after 1985. How is this justice? When does it end for people like me? The more people the law maker can put on a reg. system the more you appear to be protected. So then they get to look good and you vote for them. They will start out with a reg. for murder and before you know it they will add every thing from a car crash that killed a person to stealing a candy bar when you were 15. Do anything and they will put you on a reg. for all to see for the rest of your life. How is it if you murder a person you can get out of prison anyway?

I am in no way sticking up for any real monster. However I have been saying it for many years and this story shows it is going to happen. The law maker and judges can't seem to make the jail time fit the crime! So they need to cover there but by brain washing you all into thinking you are protected by putting in illegal retroactive laws such as the SO reg. They put people on this that should not be there, in the thousands so they can say they are protecting you. I have always said they will not stop at this. Soon it will be a reg. for everything. DWI, drug dealer, bad parent on and on it will go. No one will be happy until they know everything that goes on in every home. Kind of a real reality show. Soon enough everyone will have to show there papers just to walk down a street. You will not be anymore protected but the law maker will get to look good and ask for your vote. Change the laws starting with retrocativity as they do cause expost facto punishment. Make the time fit the crime the first time. Stop hurting thousands of families with reg. that do not deserve it. This is just big brother doing it's thing. Will you all fall for it again?

Scott from Manchester,
MAybe you should get over it, after all wasn't Manchester the first town he was run out of? A city so peacefully that you may get hit with a stray bullet during the community July 4th fireworks display? This animal lives less tahn a mile from me and walks less then 60 feet from my front door. And for the record, that legislation is in place now after he commited his crime. Why does Hillsbough Country not allow a child molester into there county, because he commited his crime in Manchester, one of your former Aldermen, and the victim still lives there. Yet this victims family lives here in the same town. Another point, all the get tough on crime politicians who are pandering to the community and family members on this issue just days ago voted to close a prison.

Why do people keep harping on the fact he served his time? He should have never been let out of prison to begin with as 35 years is not long enough for that child's murder. I feel that towns should have the right to refuse him entry because it is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when he re-offends because crapbags like him can never be rehabbed. I say put him back in prison involuntairly and if it means the rest of his life, oh well. If this man has been deemed dangerous then why did the DOC decide to let him out instead of staying in?? But the guy who sold a joint to another, they will watch him like a hawk and not the sex offenders or murderers. This should not even be up for debate and all you bleeding hearts, why don't you all take him into your home to live with your children?? Or let him rent the house next door??? And CT saw fit to get rid of him and I wonder why. I am betting he was watching little boys in the hood and a concerned and vigilant parent called the police and CT was like, Hey NH! He is your problem again!!!

This is the kind of crap that happens when the penalty does not fit the crime. Why isn't everyone upset about the fact this guy is out of prison? Why should he EVER see the light of day after killing someone? No worrying about repeat offense. No worrying about...is he living next door to me. No wasted resources keeping tabs on him or informing the public about him and 100's of others like him.

Why should these people have a life, when they have taken another?

Get over it!

He has served his time and I am sure that he is having extreme difficulty in finding work due to his criminal background.

It sounds like nobody wants a convicted murderer living in their town, so why not have someone introduce legislation that if you kill someone you spend the rest of your life in prison.
Better yet, why not use the death penalty more frequently?
That is alot cheaper than keeping someone behind bars for 30, 40, 50 years.....

I would like a DUI registry. These people are 800% more like to re-offend than murderers and rapists and can easily kill people.
