Do you live among felons?

Somebody convicted of 2nd degree attempted manslaughter lives the next street over from me.

I've got to make sure not to piss him off.

[ThomCat]

1. I live in NYC. I won't even bother to check.

As dense as the population is around here I'm sure I've got a thousand felons within a few blocks. :P

[billyoc]

47. just the ones I've spoken with today would fill a book.

:rofl:

[DarkTirade]

2. Hmm. There's a 31 year old along my usual walking/jogging route

who attempted to solicit sex from a minor.

However since it doesn't give the dates of when these offenses happened, so for all I know he was 18 and she was 17 when it happened and the felon label has stuck since then. :shrug: There's a 19 year old a few streets over from there with the same charge. Since both are allowed to live within spitting distance of the local high school, I'm guessing they weren't convicted of anything to put them on any kind of child molester registry or anything.

I'm not too worried about the septegenarian a few streets over who has a record of robbery... :P

3. Saw a newstory on them the other day

Evidently they're full of erroneous and outdated information. Not what could be called a reliable site.

[Callalily]

4. Don't be too concerned.

This scary site has been making the circuit for quite some time. Check this out.

5. Ah. That would explain why I hadn't heard anything about a 16 year old nearby

being indicted for attempted manslaughter.

And why I saw a few hispanic last names even though this area seems to be populated by 90% white people, 8% middle asian people, and 2% black people. :P

Seriously, small town. I've seen a half dozen asians and two black people the entire time I lived here. Was a bit disconcerting when I first moved here, I'm not used to that.

[npk]

6. I have no idea if my neighbors are felons

Since our country only requires sex offenders to register where they live, these must be the only dangerous people out there.

I know I feel safer not knowing if my neighbor is a mass murder.

[DarkTirade]

10. Yeah, I did check one of those sex offender registries

and apparently there are two who work within spitting distance of the local high school here. One of them for just plain rape, not just statuatory. :scared: Now that I know this registry is fake, I'm kinda hoping that one I looked at was too.

[MilesColtrane]

13. That would explain why there were no hits when I put in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

[lizerdbits]

15. Thanks nt

[pinniped]

44. That would splain how someone could live at the Lincoln Park Golf Course....

and why the Tenderloin didn't have more hits.

[csziggy]

48. Yeaha glance tells me they are totally bogus

Showing felons where no one lives and not one of the registered sex offenders on the Florida Sex Offender site shows up.

Is that site selling burglar alarms or just scaring people for no good reason?

[rug]

7. I don't give a shit as long as they're quiet.

[Madrone]

8. Used to.

I had a convicted felon living with me for a year.

[DarkTirade]

9. ... until you disposed of the bodies.

:yoiks:

[Madrone]

12. LOL

Nah - she left on her own, actually.

[GOPisEvil]

20. Ooooooooo...she was a scary one too!

All 105 lbs of her. :D

[Madrone]

23. LOL

Tell me about it.

[GOPisEvil]

25. Actually her family scares me A LOT more.

Especially the felon married to her mother. :scared:

[Madrone]

26. The sad thing is, I don't think the Chester is a "Felon" -

But SHE is. Ain't that abouta bitch?

[GOPisEvil]

27. I thought he went to prison.

Didn't they go visit him and leave her in the car? Or was that just county?

[Madrone]

28. I think just County -

He was in "jail" not "prison". And YES, they used to go visit him, force her to go but "let" her stay in the car, then treated her like shit for "putting him there". :grr:

[GOPisEvil]

30. If there's a hell, those "people" have a reserved space.

Oh and hell yeah!

[Ariana Celeste]

11. Yep.

That would be me. :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Meh

You can bunk with me anytime. :hug:

[lizerdbits]

14. The map is weird

Several people it has dots that they live in a nearby state park. :shrug: Closer than them are the kidnapping in the 1st degree, gang assault in the 1st degree and sodomy in the 3rd degree.

[Madrone]

16. I agree. I call bullshit on this site.

I live in a SMALL town - no real people on here, and they almost all have the same crimes.

[likesmountains 52]

31. Agree, something is very weird...keep clicking on your address and you

keep getting different names and crimes...I think it might be BS

[Pavulon]

17. hoax..

http://www.felonspy.com/felonspycom-disclaimer/

though you do have a common sense right to know if your neighbor is a rapist.

[mike_c]

18. the rehabilitated folks or the ones who haven't been caught yet...?

I'll take the former, anytime.

[LeftyMom]

19. Some of the locations on there are obviously wrong.

Unless people live at the local hospital, the construction site that used to be a mall, etc.

oh, and the link to puppy profits is to an obvious (if stupid) hoax site.

[LostinVA]

32. I found someone who apparently lives inside the lake where we got married

As in, underwater.

[LeftyMom]

34. Felonious Merpeople!

:scared:

[femmocrat]

33. Same here.... It had 3 felons in the middle of a cow pasture.

No houses there, just farm land. It had me worried for a bit, though.

[Blue Diadem]

22. Did you read their disclaimer?

http://www.felonspy.com/felonspycom-disclaimer/

[Blue Diadem]

:rofl: OMG that site is hilarious

[Symarip]

24. No murderers around me.

Just rapists and run of the mill sodomites (in Virginia, it's nearly illegal to have sex so I have no idea what a conviction of sodomy means).

[snailly]

29. My nerdy IT husband's best friend of 25 years is a felon

He's coming over next weekend. Maybe I should barricade the doors and get out my uzi.

BTW, he served 3 years for pot dealing. Whoop dee doo.

[LeftyMom]

35. BTW, Oedi, the Walgreens on Freedom Blvd actually has a felon-in-residence.

:rofl:

[Iggo]

36. No, but my housemates do.

:hi:

[mcctatas]

37. 77 year old "attempted sodomy"

18 year old attempted use of a firearm in the first degree, in a 3 block radius, interesting, but I think I will be able to sleep at night...

What I am more interested in is the three felons who live in the middle of the lake....

[FloridaJudy]

39. Oh great. I live in Pedophile Central.

According to these folks. I guess I should be glad I don't have small children.

I tend to doubt their accuracy though. Right now I live in a mixed lower/working class/college student neighborhood (i.e. cheap), so it doesn't surprise me that I probably have some former prisoners as neighbors - it also has a lot of cops living there. But I used to live in a pricey neighborhood indeed. One of the most horrific child abductions/rapes ever committed locally occurred one block away. Guy abducted elementary school girls and chained them in his shed for weeks. I mean really nice house, with a huge lot, so no one ever heard the muffled screams.

It's not on that map.

[applegrove]

40. I just moved from a house that seemed to attract felons in the lower apartments.

Thank god I don't have to worry about that anymore. I feel sorry for the next innocent who moves in there though.

[harmonicon]

41. Wow!

I checked my parents' address, and there are loads of people around there! That's saying a lot, because they live outside of a small town on a dirt road (though I guess it's just becoming more suburbia now). The 70 year old man who's conviction was robbery in the 2nd degree doesn't concern me, but the rapists and stalkers do! :(

[Blue Diadem]

42. It's not a website to be taken seriously. Read their disclaimer

and go back to the home page and do a search again, a terms of acceptance page will come up saying their pages are random and fake.

[harmonicon]

43. HAHA!!!

Oh, that's rich.... What a bizarre sense of humour to do that.

A few years ago, some friends made me "sex offender trading cards" of the sex offenders in their neighbourhood, from some state or county website. I assumed that this was similar. It's sort of more funny that it's not.

[Reverend_Smitty]

45. Have a 75 year old living nearby convicted of 2nd degree gang assault

:wtf:

so really I'm not too worried about the "criminal element" in my neighborhood

[Skittles]

46. that website just collecting addresses or something

rural people have told me it has names on there no one has ever heard and this is in areas where everyone knows everyone on the streets for decades
