DISQUS

Laurie Peterson Honestly now... living on LOCK ST? You must be a transplant yourself. You arent FROM Nashua, as you would never CHOOSE to live in that neighborhood if you were intersted in safety. Please honey, do yourself a favor and stop slinging accusations, NASTY ones at that, about people you dont KNOW. I dont even know the people posting here... and yet you find a way to ATTACK me for doing something about the WRONG that is happening in America. Trashing another woman with vile UNSUPPORTED attacks that are not the truth is stooping pretty low, dont you think? If you put half your energy into moving out of that section of Nashua you might not have so much to complain about elsewhere.

#1. I NEVER used my personal situation as a TALKING POINT or REASON for anyone not to support residency restriction laws. I PURPOSEFULLY left it out because it is irrelevant. These laws do not work, they are smokescreens. If you want to protect children, go after the schoolboard to teach sexual abuse prevention policies that are up to date and stand a better chance of working than the horrendously outdated 'stranger danger' policies.

#2 I am NOT the LEADER of Moral Outrage. I am a woman who was concerned about the plight of young men in America who were getting in trouble with a myriad of laws that we need LAWYERS to decipher for us. My husband was never taught the details of statutory rape laws when we were in highschool. He knew the age of consent was 16 and he ASKED the girl her age. She said 17.... why was he EVER charged with anything? That is an honest mistake of someones age through purposeful deception on the part of the minor. But that doesnt matter in most states. And they certainly did NOT teach us this in highschool. If they had, perhaps my husband would not be in the boat he is in. Again... spend your energy on education.. make
sure this doesnt happen to YOUR SON someday (assuming you are or will be a mother some day). Further, I volunteered to be the 'media contact' for moral outrage because of my knowledge of the issues and the laws of other states as well as my availability to answer calls that come in nationwide. I am listed as a site admin because I spend (or at least used to, as time has not allowed me to lately) a lot of time helping others (parents and teens alike) navigate the minefield of these laws and teenage sexuality.

#3. I am not a leader of the NH Free Staters movement. In fact, I am not even a member. I have never done anywork with these people on a professional level for the freestater movement. I have run across many of them in the legislative halls of Concord... other civic minded people who are doing their DEMOCRATIC duty to defend the constitution. Last time I checked, that was every citizens' duty and RIGHT as an American. I partnered with a gentleman I met (who happened to be a freestater) because he and I were both interested in the local politics of Manchester concering residency restrictions as we both reside here. No more, no less.

#3 Your information and testitmony (which I might add, you did LITTLE to respect the time limit that was placed on the public, talking endlessly) was based on emotion and fear. There were no facts in what you had to share. You said " lets just help these guys out a little... alcoholics shouldnt live near bars, and sex offenders shouldnt live near children"... the difference is alcoholics are allowed to live near bars (so why arent you pushing for that ordinance?) And not everyone requires the same amount of 'help' you believe they need. These issues are best left to professionals... not some woman who hurls vicious words of attack against others when her argument is not enough to get her way.

Funny how this ordinance was brought in your attempt to get the RSO's out of your neighborhood... not once were you honest about YOUR intent. More of the 'not in my backyard mentality'. You didnt want them on your street.


Finally, there are 2 web pages (neither of which I created by the way) not because one was 'losing support' as you would like to believe but because statutory rape laws and residency restrictions laws are separate issues. Frankly, I'm surprised you could interpret that as anything more than that... it seems rather obvious to me.

Your 'over-characterizations' and personal attacks speak for themselves.

As the good book says: "You who are without sin, cast the first stone".

John Doe Has anyone seen the video with Patty Wetterling or read the Human Rights Watch Report that states these laws "do more harm than good?"
