Even people unknown to them hold a grudge and will do them harm. What if we listed everyone who committed a crime? Then when something gets stolen in the neighborhood, you can knock on their door and blame them first, even though they paid their debt. After people serve their time, is it really a good idea to put them in view like this, to hold this over their head? Surely people will argue with me that they deserve it, but not every released sex offender commits the crimes again, so shouldn't they be given another chance? Also, wouldn't you agree that some of these offenders were never guilty? This map basically makes them think, well I'm doomed anyway so it doesn't matter what I do.
