    And once again the downvoters are already here, apparently they like vile criminals like this guy.

    If that girl’s family hunts him down… Good.

      The title is sensationalist as hell. And by and large the downvotes are used as a disagree button. And most people disagree with conservative politics, especially on the internet.

      The downvotes aren’t out of a love for criminals.

      Odd how the party of law and order is encouraging extra-judicial violence against someone who was cleared as a low risk by a parole board.

      Our government is paying out the ass for prison costs because we have the most prisoners per capita in the world. So it needs to be able to let people who have been rehabilitated and low risk of reoffending to be released to save costs. That’s what happened in this case.

      Now I’m not a certified psychologist who is qualified to be on such a parole board, and most likely you’re not either. So I’m going to defer to the parole boards decision, because they’re the ones who are certified, qualified, and have his prison records on hand.

          Any system designed to give any kind of parole will always have error. There is no way to predict human behavior with 100% accuracy.

            I do understand that.

            Parole recommendations are typically based on the original crime, institutional adjustment and behavior while incarcerated, internal progress reports, staff interactions, and remorse.

            All if which can be faked by any narcissist, gaslighter, or experienced manipulator. Prisons are full of these individuals. Parole for “good behavior” is still a thing even though most places don’t call it that anymore.

            Reminds me of a guy in PA who did 15 years for murder, never got a misconduct in prison, was friendly and helpful to staff for years, and Parole let him go.

            He carjacked a woman in Philly at gunpoint 6 days after release.
