I got flamed a couple of weeks ago when I was saying that the murderer nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize was and always would be a murderer which should preclude him from things like, oh, I don't know, getting a freaking Peace Prize. I said if you've shown a propensity for killing people whenever you get the chance, you forfeit your right to certain things. I was told, "well you have to forgive people, they can change", blah blah. You know what - cases like this one only prove my point that if you've managed to murder (or attempted to murder) someone at some point in your life, it's damn hard to convince society that you should ever receive mercy.
So society decided this piece of human refuse was "rehabilitated", released him, then he gets convicted again of similar crimes and released again...and now law enforcement finds out he did this?
Yes, I believe in rehabilitation (which some of the members flaming me in the Peace Prize thread said I didn't - while saying they hoped I never did anything I needed to be forgiven for), but you can't tell me this doesn't make you wonder if once in a while, there are some crimes that go so far beyond the pale of what society should accept that they just don't belong breathing anymore.
