“I think you could spend an unlimited amount of money on education and it will never eliminate crime. We have crime committed by people that have no respect for human life; we have crimes committed by people who have no respect for property.” He went on to say, "[criminals] will use that education and they will use that intellect in order to commit their crimes.” Spoken like a true persecutor. Why waste money on educating our youth, eh? Its far easier to catch them if they are dumber than the pursuers. Only problem is, the pursuers will come out of that same uneducated batch.

“You are a sex offender and there are rules, and whether you like them or not, you’ve got to follow them. You’re a second-class citizen and will be for the rest of your life.” Judges are lowest class.

"I'm kind of sick of this notion that we have to offer equal access to things, they can still access everything on a computer or have other people check books out." Later: “I don’t know what they’ve pled down to,” he explains in a phone interview, noting that some offenders were originally charged with more serious crimes. “What about the rights of the innocent children whose lives have been ruined? What about the innocent woman who has been raped? What about their rights?” Burchett says he has zero concerns that he is violating the rights of sex offenders and isn’t worried about a lawsuit.Yee-haw! He ignores a ruling in New Mexico that found the bans unconstitutional.

Matt Kanai, general counsel for law
enforcement for the state attorney general’s office, said registration
isn’t meant to punish the offenders; it is a tool for the public. Sex
offenders, he said, are viewed as people who will likely attack again,
so keeping tabs on them and providing their locations to the public is a
service.
“Sex offenders do tend to
operate in their neighborhood. Crimes like murder aren’t neighborhood
specific. They are not necessarily looking at everyone that’s mowing
their yard or walking down the sidewalk as their next potential victim,”
Kanai said. “Murders happen in the heat of the moment or in a bar or
liquor store. Those people aren’t thinking when I see people walking
down the street I want to go murder that person, but sex offenders we do
have that concern, that every person is a potential victim.”
Only a politician thinks like this.

Tuscumbia AL police Chief Tony Logan: Logan is a special case because he's not only a small town cop, he's a police chief currently serving probation for DUI. How he even has the job is beyond me. They must be desperate in Tuscumbia. Anyways, Logan the Lush was interviewed by the Times Daily on Halloween laws. Here is a gem from Logan, and I'm hoping it's just the alcohol talking:
“I know parents are concerned and it’s a concern for law enforcement,” Tuscumbia Police Chief Tony Logan said. “There are a couple of times a year I refer to as a pedophile’s dream come true. This is one of those times.” Actually, kids are at far greater threat from car accidents. You know, like when drunks who are three times the legal limit drive.

Manda Hicks, Bandera Co. Sheriff's Office: There is something special about small town Sheriff's Offices. It seems fitting to have someone named "Hicks" working at a hick-town sheriff's office. The News media really deserve an award just because they published this BS, but this woman deserves it more. Supposedly there is this network of sex offenders telling people where the best places to hide and possibly re-offend are, and some Podunk town in Texas is allegedly on this list. I never even heard of Bandera until now, but Hicks lets out a real gem of a bad quote. "They might be communicating with each other," Hicks said. "So we are trying to find out if there's a sex offender network." Earth to Manda, now we know you exist. Don't worry, most of us have no desire to live in the sticks and chase tumbleweeds and tip cows.
