Hand-Up Ministries in Oklahoma City has closed the tent camp it had set up for sex offenders. The deadline set by a new law prohibiting sex offenders living together passed and the sex offenders living in the mobile home park are now living elsewhere.
KWTV Channel 9 News in Oklahoma City also reported on August 17 that they had found several tent cities in the Oklahoma City area where the sex offenders are now living. It is unknown if any of them have registered their new location, as mandated by law.
David Nichols, the founder of this rapist and pedophile haven known as Hand-Up Ministries, is very concerned about where his former tenants will live. Nichols believes that many of the sex offenders that once in lived in the mobile home park will now not register at their new residences.
- "Rapist and pedophile haven?" That just shows the reporter is biased and not following the code of ethics to report all sides and leave personal feelings out of the story (I guess anybody can be a "reporter" these days), and it's idiots like this reporter who are causing the hysteria to continue, based on disinformation, fear and emotions, not facts.
“David Nichols didn’t seem to concerned about that when he was traveling the country, recruiting perverts to live in Oklahoma City,” Stephen Sutton, the father of one daughter from Oklahoma City, said. “He is suddenly concerned about them living in Oklahoma City, not registering and re-offending? [David Nichols] should have thought of that before he brought them here to make him money.”
Although the exact location of the sex offenders’ tent cities have not been disclosed, David Nichols claims they are in “green zones.” Green zones are areas where sex offenders are allowed to live.
David Nichols, in his interview with KWTV Channel 9 News also didn’t mention that tent cities, set up by former residents of sex offender compound, had been in Oklahoma City for almost a year. Management of the sex offender compound confirmed that the tent cities were created by residents of the Hand Up Ministry that had been forced to leave due to drug use.
David Nichols also failed to mention that many of the residents in the sex offender compound were recruited by him from other states. David Nichols traveled around the country, bringing sex offenders to the Hand Up Ministry sex offender compound and charged them rent to live there.
It is unknown what will become of the sex offenders that are now homeless and living in the tent cities. It is legal for them to register as “transient” or homeless so keeping track of them may prove to be difficult. Some may return to the home states. Others may move elsewhere and register there. Some may not register at all.
Perhaps this is just coincidence, but did anyone notice the "reporters" name is Sutton, and the man she interviewed is also Sutton? Is she interviewing her husband or a relative, for her "unbiased" reporting? Simply unbelievable, and to Mr. Sutton- You sir, were not very concerned about unintended consequences when you supported the passing of this moronic law, and now you dare question the one man that HAD the situation under control. The LAW displaced these men, not David Nichols. The law WILL drive these men underground, but hopefully, NEXT TIME, people will take these "unintended consequences" into consideration BEFORE jumping on the BIG VOTE bandwagon.

The eternal shouting of politicians and the self serving alike, that CREATED THESE BROKEN UNENFORCEABLE IDIOMS IN THE VERY FIRST PLACE.
And similar to a giant out of control row of domino's ONE BAD LAW FOLLOWS ANOTHER.
Since most of the worst of these laws are already written and any good purpose has been written out, these laws, like their sponsors need to be come more egregious in order to have any staying power.
The very issues that where either written into these ANTI-HUMAN rights laws or was left out, now become the center stage for most all public officials to make a BIG FAT DEAL OFF.
IMO:
A small well organized group of intelligent RSO's could, on the state level, PUT AN END TO THIS INSANITY, POST HASTE.
While year after year, more and more individuals are facing some kind of charge ruling them sex offenders that are found guilty, go to jail (prison), do there time, released and only to find out THEY HAVE MORE TIME TO DO.
This is such a huge B/S revolving door for all gov municipalities.....it is just like a drug to an addict. MAKE MORE RSO LAWS = MORE FAT BUCKS TO LINE THEIR PURSES.
And you know what.......LIKE MOST ADDICTS, VIRTUALLY NONE OF THESE LAWS WORK EITHER.
Frankly, I get so very upset at the mere idea of people being used for money gain and power. Most slavery in this country has all but been replaced but by a new form of ''indenturement''..the RSO is now being
TRADED BY A NEW TASK MASTER OF IGNORANCE AND FEAR.
The day sex offenders decide to stop being treated like a victim and see THEY ARE BEING VICTIMIZED......This money making PONZI SCHEME, put upon them, will fall like a house of cards...!
