It’s absolutely disgusting that murderer was set free. That he is living next to an elementary school now is a beyond words

Just want to point out that if he had been slaughtered like the animal he was, this wouldn't be an issue now. The only fly in that ointment is that from what I read, we really didn't have the preponderance of evidence that I think is needed for a fast track. But life woulda been fine with me.

I thought there was. Why wouldn't the Maryland legislature, who love to regulate and control everything under the sun, not have this common sense safeguard?

I thought the same thing. That sex offenders weren't allowed to live in school zones.
I'm baffled.

Doesn't seem right, but my big question is why he is in a sober living house at all since he has been in jail for 20 years.

why is there a sober living house so close to a school? :shrug:
That is the dumbest ####ing thing I've ever heard. Congratulations, Maryland!
"Oh, we don't have residency restrictions because most attackers are someone the child knows...." Like, um, a freaking neighbor???
There is one about 2 blocks away from Greenview Knolls Elementary. It's technically a woman's facility, disguised as a regular home in a regular neighborhood, but there are ####bag guys with prison tats hanging out there all the time visiting their wimmins. That whole neighborhood has gone to hell and I feel sorry for the people who bought my house.
Florida had some pretty substantial stand-offs on where offenders could live. With all the facilities they had to stay clear of (churches, schools, residential facilites), the only place a sex offender in Dade county could live was under a highway overpass on an island in Biscane bay.
That is crazy. Putting a felon in with a bunch of addicts, or former. What could possibly go wrong.
Where there is a high probability that some bath salts junkie will eat their face.

They should have thought about that before they became a sex offender.

This makes sense as far as being able to keep tabs on them. But there still should be a restriction on living so close to a school or in a building with children. When I lived in an apartment there was child sex offender living in our building. The only way I knew about it was from looking at the sex offender registry (which I do periodically) and recognized the picture of one of them. I was like holy sh*t, that's the guy downstairs. The next day EVERYONE in my building knew about it because I told them. We had a right to know and one the girls living there had 2 small kids. She made calls and we found out about the no restriction on where they can live. I was shocked. Once I was aware of this, I did notice that at least once a week a deputy came by to verify he still lived there. I still never would have thought this would ok with their back yard up against a school. Now, with over 700 signatures on a petition to not release him, the parole board still does. The entire system is a cluster. I know Rossignal's paper are written like tabloids but I give credit to him for keeping up with this guy over the years. Had he not contacted Bruce Lashan, the public may not have known about this.
