Vigilante Justice and Legislations

Amongst the many sex offender ordinances and statutes regulating where people labeled as sex offenders can live, Green Bay, Wisconsin's ordinance of pushing these people out of nearly every neighborhood in Green Bay is just another onerous example of vigilante ordinances.

"Green Bay City Council President Chad Fradette was the major force behind the city's sex offender ordinance. Although he's encouraged the city has 19 fewer sex offenders, he's not satisfied".

"It concerns me to hear that more of them are moving to the villages around us, because we don't want that. I don't want them to move to the villages, I want them to be out of Brown County all together," he said, adding, "We want the State to keep them in prison. That's the bottom line."

It is against statements such as this made by the Green Bay City Council President Chad Fradette that there is a fight for constitutional liberties and protections. When these sex offender residence and zoning ordinances are legislated and enacted into law, it is clear from such vendetta statements that these ordinances are punitive in their purpose, and violent in their effect.

Efforts are in the process to fight proactively against such vigilante minded leaders who have no care in the world as to whom they hurt, or how much damage to lives they do. We don't need these types of leaders, but it is hard to fight against them when people labeled as sex offender are too afraid to mount a concerted and continuous battle, and the general public is led astray in what they are told to think and believe.

The many lawmakers that shadow Fradette don't care what evidence come out against such broad residence restriction and zoning laws, or by whom the evidence comes from. The Human Rights Watch came out with its 2007 report, the NACDL (National Association of Criminal Defense lawyers) with its reports, and numerous research, studies and reports by people, groups, and organizations that know the truth.
