Ich meine mich dunkel zu erinnern, dass auch in Deutschland mal geplant war Sexualverbrecher öffentlich auszustellen. Oder ist es geschehen? Ich finde, das ist ein sehr komplexes Thema, zu dem ich ambivalenter Meinung bin. Die Amis haben es Ende der 80er definitiv etwas übertrieben. Der Sex Offender Shuffle Rap ist diesem Clip ist angeblich keine Seltenheit, sondern wurde in Miami regelmäßig so gedreht. Ich bin sprachlos.

In the late 80s, Miami’s Sexual Predator unit began cracking down harder than ever on sexual misconduct. While sex offenders had long been forced to go door-to-door, a new policy was proposed: sending videotapes to Miami neighborhoods. This would give residents a convenient reference of local sex offenders’ faces and voices. Over time, the idea morphed into a cruel mockery of the accused parties. In early videos, convicted sex offenders were forced into demeaning costumes and humiliating hats. Eventually, Officer Raymond H. Karr hatched the idea of writing degrading hip-hop raps for the accused to perform.

Between 1986 and 1988, dozens of “Sex Offender Shuffle” videos were created. Sex offenders who had already served their sentence were forced to rap and dance, often at gunpoint.
