    Honesty is the best policy, after all. Hopefully this list would not be extended later to include personal identification, and stick to purely statistic-based summaries of offenders. The only problem I see is the potential danger of overreach, as some of those marked as sex offenders are innocent and don’t deserve to be hunted and killed by vigilantes that this may lead to. If the primary demographics are not white, this could lead to even more extreme violence and hatred against innocents. As much as I approve of vigilante justice, a trustworthy form of evidence collection and subsequent conviction or absolution is necessary. Individual opinion and misguided ideals bypass true justice.

      It won’t collect the statistics of the white, wealthy, and powerful who have always gotten away with their crimes because other white, wealthy, powerful people look the other way.
