As most of you know, I've posted regarding this subject on numerous occaissions over the past several months. Here's where I find the irony in the current law. I've received no fewer than 4 notifications that an offender had chosen my immediate neighborhood as their new residence. You're given a photo and the list of crimes the person committed (along with the release date), but you're not able to obtain the exact location where the offender will be living for THEIR protection.

For myself and my neighbors residing in the 55411 zip code, this effectively means that for the current system to have any measurable effectiveness, we have to commit SEVENTEEN faces to memory, to safegueard ourselves against possible abuses. What sense does this make? How reasonable is it to expect parents and primarily young women to be on the watch for SEVENTEEN individuals when they know they live in their neighborhood, but they're not sure where?

It's absurd.
