King David in the Bible is called “A man after God’s own heart”
In today’s world, he would be called “A violent offender” since he committed a sex offense & was an accomplice in a murder.
Those who have committed violent offenses need to be viewed as the totality of themselves
"We continue to selectively downplay and romanticize the history of King—the Reverend...the Doctor...the peacemaker — who was also, at various points in his life, a man behind bars."

Modern sex offender registration laws are a product of the late '80s-early '90s child sex abuse panic. As @SarahLustbader explains in @theappeal, there's not much reason to think these registries make anyone safer; probably the opposite. https://t.co/Go2wFesP4M
So let me get this straight. If someone is charged with a crime & bails out (e.g. Weinstein), all is good in the world. But, if someone is released without bail, society is in danger. This logic conflates poverty with criminality, and does not serve the public interest.
