My answer has nothing to do with the system. And yes I read the stupid story, but you didn't answer my questions. What, oh what would you, or can you do? The choices are pretty damn simple. Either kill him, or live with him. You can't pass him off onto someone else, because 1) he isn't some property or garbage you can just keep tossing around until it sticks somewhere, and 2) hes gone through the system. For better or worse, someone said he has served his time and gets out. You don't like that, run for office and change it. Otherwise, deal with the two choices you have at hand
To start with, Darkfeather, I'd invite you to bring that attitude problem of yours down to the dungeon section, but that's been done on another thread, and you lacked the stones to show up. Your character is clear to us.
My suggestion has been that he be housed in a trailer on the grounds of a state facility. That was done previously in California, with a serial killer who had to be released. It worked out.
If he was coming in next door, rather than across the valley from me, I'd be calling Linda Blair, and offering to give a good home to a couple of the pitbulls in her rescue facility. The training dummy would have a mustache.
To what "attitude" are you referring? Believe me, if you want to see me get indignant, I assure you I could make a truck driver blush. And as for your housing suggestion, are you insane??? You know he isn't the only rapist convicted then released in the US, right? The world? That would be a lot of trailer on state facilities. Or are you proposing that this guy is a special case? Please. Let me ask you this, mister calling Linda Blair... How well do you know the neighbors you have now? Any of them committed crimes in their past, any of them murdered, raped, shoplifted? If you knew what every single neighbor in your vicinity had in their closet, I would be more afraid of you my friend. The fact is, we don't know crap about most people we live with. The only way the people living next to that guy would even know he had been a prolific rapist was because of the controversy. That and its the law to disclose. But you don't have to disclose when a murderer gets paroled, an arsonist, etc. Would you have a problem living next to a guy who had burned down 40+ homes in the last 20 years? Don't answer, I already know it based on your "rapist" response. Fact is, he was released, he is being GPS monitored. If he offended, he would get picked up. But like Mr. Satyr said, I doubt the guy will even leave his house, for fear of getting pelted with eggs, rotten tomatoes, or small arms fire.
So your solution to the world's release of those who have lawfully served their time, is to ship them off to an island, ala Australia. First of all, you need to ask, why do we even put people in prison? Why bother serving time if you are just going to be forever accused of the crime you committed. So, is prison punitive, or rehabilitative? If it is simply punitive, to punish those who do wrong and then release them... Why not just kill them. You put a man in prison for murder, 20 years, then release him. Did he learn anything? That getting caught was bad. So then prison is rehabilitative. They serve their time but are tried to be persuaded not to re-offend. Either by counseling, work, faith, etc. So when they get paroled, the idea is not only have they paid the price for their crime, but they will choose not to again. But shit, I wouldn't want that dirty paroled rapist next to me right?
And as for having one live next to me, I could care less. If he re-offended he would get caught. If he lived out his life as a regular member of society, he won't. Either way its none of my business. Oh, and if I really have to spell it out, I also am for the death penalty so there would be no whining like this at the end. If they killed this guy in the first place, we wouldn't be having this conversation, correct?
