Sex Offenders Video

Hello to everyone

So I have not been blogging for awhile due to school and working, but I hope everyone is doing well.  

So I am going to start off by telling you that I am going to school for my Master's in Criminal Justice and currently I am taking a class called 'Sex Offenders and Sex Crimes."  This is a really interesting class because you learn from the views of offenders and victims.  In addition, history and society views.  

For my class this week our professor assigned us to watch a video called "Our America-State of Sex Offenders (Lisa Ling)

Our America-State of Sex Offenders (Lisa Ling)

This video highlights the issues of victims and mostly sex offenders.  It was a very powerful film about sex offenders must live in Florida.  That some of these laws are ways to keep people in prison or to keep them away from society in the woods.  

There are always going to be criminals re-offending and it happens to be that sex offenders are the ones to be the least worried about and if you want me to provide you sources, I can provide that to you.  These laws seem to be doing more harm than good.  Lastly, it is those who have not been caught are the ones that are the most concern.

I encourage you to watch this video to open your eyes.  I have been a victim myself, but I do not let that dictate my logic.  These offenders are humans too and they should not have to live in the woods to survive, they should be able to find employment and housing too.  If they cannot then the state needs to build homes to help them live and get back on their feet. 

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani Execution

Iran has been known to make false reports on why someone has been arrested. It happens all the time there. This Pastor is being executed because he refuses to give up his Christian faith and they think that he was trying to convert Muslims. However, Iran is saying that he raped someone and committed extortion. In which we know is false.

Some of you may not know how Iran operates. Well, I will let you know. They arrest hundreds of people a year on false charges. Now to get them to admit to the false charges and sign a document they torture them until they comply. They prefer to whip them, beat them, and sometimes not feed them. They like to make sure that they are alive. Then after they get the false confession, they usually kill them silently. Sometimes, the execution is public if they are high crimes and they make sure that people will see what will happen to them if they do not comply to the rules.

This Pastor has been wronged. Now I have never believed that Iran is trying to give them more rights and freedoms. NO, they will not. I would like to believe that they will, but it is not going to happen. One of the reasons it is not going to happen is because there police enforce rules that they feel like enforcing that day or week. One week they will allow women to have slightly heavy make up and than the next week they will get arrested and receive lashes for their punishment.

I honestly think that as Americans and people across the world need to take Iran's promises with a grain of salt. They are not going to fulfill those promises until someone takes the power from Aytollah Sayed Ali Khamenei, Morteza Bakhtiari (Minister of Justice), and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

I pray for his family and the many others that have been harmed by Iran's government. Many people die each year because of the injustice that goes on there. So many people try to leave that country every year because of what goes on. Fellow Christians, we need to keep fighting for what we believe in, no matter what harm comes to us. This Pastor is and was doing his duty for God and we just need to keep fighting.
