The June 26-29 conference of the National Association for Rational Sexual Offense Laws (NARSOL) in Grand Rapids has been indefinitely postponed at the last minute due to a bomb threat against the hotel, which chose to cancel the contract rather than run the risk of an attack. The threats came from individuals associated with the Proud Boys, which had attempted unsucessfully to disrupt the group’s meeting in Houston last year. In addition at least one NARSOL board member received a threatening Facebook message – “Execution Time” – with their name, location, and picture. NARSOL is a group of attorneys, academics, activists, and families that seeks reform of onerous restrictions placed on sex offense registrants who are trying to get on with their lives. Many of those planning to attend the conference had already purchased non-refundable plane tickets. Apparently these issues cannot even be discussed in the present political climate.
