Thanks. What I meant is that I HAVE morals (albeit slightly different than yours) and that in general I am not a violent person or bad guy, but I can get violent when I have to, and even so I have a level of self control
(of anger/violence) that you have rarely seen in a person. And when I get violent I always make sure I am right. The mathematical model of "right" if you may, might be applied differently between me and you.
Actually, no. We all operate under the same law. Just because you only occasionally commit illegal acts doesn't make you a good person.

Have you considered that the removal of the sex offender label may not help you in your apartment or job search even a little bit? While sex offences are heinous, people aren't lining up to have violent felons on the payroll either.

As far as what makes me a bad guy that is purely opinion and perception. That is a whole 'nother philosophical discussion. Plus I said "that bad" because there's no denying that I'm a bad guy. Like I said what seems like antisocial behavior in one culture, may not be, and may even be pro-social in another culture.
Another culture?

Are you saying you aren't in the US? If you are, acts of violence are not covered under the "melting pot" formula. In other words, we all live under the same laws. Even you.

Just curious, why don't I get to judge my victim? Is it because I know him? I can't judge someone based on their morals either? Why? Because I preyed on a predator?
Because the prey refused to be a prey? I didn't understand that part.
You don't get to be judge and jury and decide who is worthy of punishment and/or death. If you wish that authority, go to law school and become a judge.

That's a joke, of course. Felons aren't allowed to take the bar.

What sounded like justification (and can be seen as that) was actually a defensive shield in order to subtly hint readers to spare me their moral opinions or quetching (which I don't care about) resulting from feeling morally superior, which usually happens with judgmental persons. I should of just said that from the go, because I obviously failed at that and probably even provoked that.
I have not given you a moral answer.

You seem to think that you have your own subset of law under which your actions were not only excusable but honorable. This is incorrect. It is not a moral statement to say that this behavior is illegal.

Yes there were children in the top bedroom which we didn't see until they came out with grandma. No one was harmed, except maybe psychologically.
And there you go. That explains the sexual offender status. You illegally confined those children.

When you opined that I might have a chance you mean if I was to ask the Supreme Court to take me off the registry? I really appreciate your feedback cyjeff, I was surprised to get a reply so expeditiously.
The chance of this case going to the US Supreme Court is small. However, an attorney may be able to negotiate this singular point in your favor.
