Expecting violent anti-social losers to self-police is just plain delusional.
The guy committed an act of violence against a child. That he ever saw the outside of a prison cell is a conviction of our society as a whole.
We no longer punish evil or seek to remove it from society, we cultivate it and do all we can to encourage its existence. Entertainment, politics, and media both promote it and feed on it.
That’s because the justice system turned on it’s head during the late 60’s and 70’s to embrace a philosophy of rehabilitation instead of retribution. Another one of those swell ideas that came out of the socialist/liberal/anti-establishment mindset of the times. There is NO effective rehabilitation for child molesters or sexual predators, for example, yet the government persists in putting these animals in special “treatment” centers and then turning them loose on the vulnerable public over and over again. Domestic violence crimes are routinely charged as 4th Degree Assault even when victims have sustained serious and life-threatening injuries. Our justice system is so broken. It’s an unmitigated scandal.
