Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia. I am here to be near my child. From 02/08 to 06/15 this blog pushed free speech to the envelope, so others could take heart and speak unafraid. Email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com

Level Three Sex Offender Kirk Douglas Green Will Be "Leaving Us On An Extended Prison Vacation"
This happened a couple weeks ago, but regular readers know this blog is going to beat the issue of Level Three sex offender concentration in North Minneapolis until something goes "POP!" And I don't mean "Spanky" Pete Rickmyer paddling the behind of yet another minor.
Our neighborhood is not a politically-powerless dumping ground for the refuse of society, and we don't have to keep putting up with this. But let's talk about Level Three Sex Offender Kirk Douglas Green.
Previously, I wrote about Mr. Green and how, interestingly, he was not only a sex offender but also involved in dubious mortgage activity, click here for that post. Well, not too long after I published that post, word got to the Department of Corrections that...
Kirk Douglas Green wasn't living where he was registered to live. Here's how MPD Crime Prevention Specialist Tim Hammett phrased it in a widely-circulated email:
-------------------
Kirk Douglas Green
Previous to this date, the above level 3 was registered to 2311 Sheridan Ave. No. in Willard-Hay. As of Friday, 04/09, he was determined to be living at 3844 1st Ave. So. As a result, Mr. Green was arrested and placed in HCJ. He is currently charged with 3 Felony warrants ( Non sex related). Mr. Green will be leaving us on an extended prison vacation.
------------------
This email presents another good argument for publishing the addresses of serious sex offenders, like MORE THAN HALF OF THE STATES IN AMERICA ALREADY DO. If they're not living where they're supposed to be living, word will get back to the Department of Corrections much faster. (Very interesting how this MPD official went ahead and published the specific addresses in his email. I guess they can do that. I wish they'd go ahead and publish ALL the addresses or, you know, if somebody could just kick the info my way...trust me, it will hit the internet in three beats of a human heart)
But let's look a bit at the ownership of the two places where sex offender Kirk Douglas Green found shelter, shall we? Who, exactly, was putting this guy up?
According to Minneapolis property records--which are notoriously out-of-date, by the way--here are the owners of the two properties in question:
2311 Sheridan Ave. N:
Ronald D Johnson
2311 Sheridan Ave N Minneapolis Mn 55411
3844 First Ave. S:
Palladium Holdings Llc 301 Clifton Ave S #2h Minneapolis Mn 55403
Oh, I just love printing information about Level Three sex offenders and the folks who put them up in my neighborhood or, in this case, while they are REGISTERED in my neighborhood. If you are a Level Three sex offender and you move to North Minneapolis, my blog will find out where you live and will publish your address plus other relevant details I can dig up. Count on it. And I'll get away with it, because there's nothing illegal about it.
If you are a slumlord who rents to sex offenders, and you put them up in my neighborhood, my blog will find out that fact, and publish it, and other relevant details about who you are and the nice house where you live out in the suburbs. Count on it. And I'll get away with it, because there's nothing illegal about it.
Oh, it's good to be back from my long three-week trucking journey and back in the swing of blogging.

And Google will find it on your blog. It ain't like it's just "hidden" here on the blog.
So true. The names of those property owners are now inextricably associated, forever, with the Level Three sex offender associated with those two properties.
There's a cure for the clap, but there's no cure for Google. Google sticks with you for life.
What's up with his old partner; Ms. Snoddy???
2311 Sheridan is on my block. A family lives there. As it's a rental I assume it is not Ronald D Johnson's family but perhaps a friend of Kirk Douglas Green? It's a single family home so maybe this family was letting him stay there. I've referenced this house in a comment before - they're address is spray painted on the front of the concrete porch. I believe neighbors have had relatively decent interactions with them save for some really intense dogs that deter me from walking that way through the alley and this Level 3 Sex Offender thing I suppose...
Good to have you back.
The google bots are a bitch, you cant hide in the matrix!

Is this that guy who has been peeing in the yard of NOMI residents?
you know that there is a new child molester on our block? Antar something...he lives on the 22XX block of 6th street north...
Yeah, good to have you back. It's nice to have some variety of writers. However I mostly like to read the Hawkman's writing. He is so smart and interesting and witty. What a catch he is!
I think Patrick is in love.
Shut up while I do idolize the Hawkman I am NOT in love. Furthermore my partner would not allow my eyes to wander all over NOMI like that.
I see the trolls are out again. Since I'm making a positive impact in the community the slumlords have turned their sights on me.
And for the record I don't think Jeff is cute. He's too masculine for my tastes.
Kirk Douglas Green didn't stay in prison nearly long enough. A check, today, of the Level Three sex offender registry shows he's back in North Minneapolis, living on the 2500 block of Golden Valley Road.
This person lived in a duplex on 37th & Dupont in 2008 beneath us.We were NEVER notified that he was a level 3 sex offender.We found out with and alert from Family Watchdog.We spoke with the property manager at the time and was told that he supposedly did a background check and it never came up.We also found out that he owned the duplex along with another person.I have young girls and that creeped me out knowing that he was in the same building.
