Your article about sex offender is dead wrong and at worse hate speech in which stokes fear and paranoia to the public with false facts.

There have been many target killings, beating, arson and theft to sex offenders by just looking them up on the registry, yet no one seems to care.

I am a registered sex offender. I had consensual sex with a 15 year old girl when I was 21. For example if she was just 2 months older, yes 2 (a blink of the eye in time)  i would have committed no crime. At the time my crime was not a crime in Canada nor anywhere in Europe, Mexico or most of the developed world.

Paul Walker the actor who recently passed away started dating his wife when she was 16 and he was 30, yet he is a national hero.  John Walsh the man responsible for the sex offender registries through the Adam Walsh act began dating his current wife when she was 17 and he also 30. He would have had to register in new York under today laws in the state. My point being there is a very thin grey line between a sex offender and someone who is not.

You say all sex offenders are perverts and molest children and can’t be cured? How come then they have by far the lowest recidivism rate of any group?

With all the laws against me and with dumb idiot reporters like Mike Hudson I have managed to open up two successful restaurants, complete my bachelors degree, become married to a beautiful intelligent woman, I have many friends and family who 100% support me and love me. I give back to my community and contribute, yet sometimes I wonder why should I?

With all the hate and news laws being directed at sex offenders, what incentive do I have to become better and contribute to society? I have none, society has constantly beat me down and tried to force me into a Jewish-like ghetto. I wonder why any sex offender would do any good in society?  But yet amazingly since I have strong morals, am a good person, I fight on. I made a mistake but a mistake I have more then been punished for, I am continually being punished no matter what good I do.

I have no attraction to children or even desire a younger women like most men do, i made a mistake but not a mistake that destroyed anyone’s life.

You say sex offenders drive down property values but ask any of my neighbors if they enjoy living next to me and they would say yes. Not all sex offenders are weirdos, perverts, predators, a lot are none of those.

I always find it ironic that people who hate sex offenders the most have there own demons they hide from. I think Mike Hudson probably has quite a few secrets in his closest. You remember senator Haskell and Foley, the two other main characters behind sex offender registries?, well, guess what, they should be on them.

So Mike Hudson do us all a favor and go take a plunge off of Niagara Falls, maybe it will knock some sense into you.

Craig Bucki Stands Out in Race for Supreme Court, Has All the Tools to Be Strong Judge

By tony Farina · September 16, 2026

By Tony Farina I’ve covered many court proceedings and trials in my more than 35 years as a newspaper and television reporter and I want to make the point at the beginning of this story that whether elected or appointed, some judges are fair and honest and many others fall short of the mark. In other words, the word jurist does not convey skill and knowledge of the law; it is just a role that some serve with distinction, and others do not. By definition, a jurist is a person who has expert or thorough knowledge of the law but

Is Niagara Falls Crisis Self-Inflicted? Lots of Questions, Few Answers

By tony Farina · September 15, 2026

By Tony Farina There are certainly many questions swirling around the mayor’s declaration of a state of emergency in Niagara Falls over trash, blight, and deteriorating streets that was declared back on July 20 and has been extended several times since because, according to Mayor Robert Restaino, the City Council refused to approve contractor agreements. But some observers point to depleted staff at City Hall, like in Public Works and Code Enforcement and other departments, as really self-inflicted wounds that are the underlying reasons work is not getting done in the city. Or is there even more to the story,

The  Data Center That Answers Hochul’s Objections There was a time when Niagara Falls did not ask Albany whether it was permitted to prosper. The river was here. That was enough. The town had something Albany couldn’t give it. It used what was here. Water. Power. Work. Jobs. Industry. A future. In 1895, the Adams plant took the river and put it into wire. The current went to Buffalo. It changed the industrial world. Tesla supplied the designs. Westinghouse built the machines. Niagara supplied the falling water. Then industries came. Electrochemical. Electrometallurgical. They came because Niagara offered abundant, inexpensive electricity.

Niagara Falls Has Millions of Tourists But Needs to Find a Way to Capture That Wealth

By Tony Farina The City of Niagara Falls, N.Y., boasts one of the world’s greatest natural wonders that people from around the world come to see, but despite incredible tourism numbers of more than nine million visitors a year, the city of now less than 50,000 people is still pretty darn poor. Niagara Falls does not have a tourism problem; it has a tourism-capture problem, and the distinction should be a starting point for a serious new discussion about the city’s future. And ladies and gentlemen, that discussion needs to start now. The question is no longer whether Niagara Falls
