Erm. 6.8% of tens of thousands is quite a lot of people. Help me math here. Is it, like 680s of people?

And why the fuck is a twice-convicted rapist not locked up permanently? Can we please just free all the non-violent people who are in for stupid marijuana and traffic charges and throw the rapists in a deep well?

This reminds me of all the stories out of Europe about the "asylum seekers" who raped women and children, including little boys. If they were to be convicted of a crime that got them more than a two-year sentence, they would be ineligible for asylum (because these are clearly the kind of people you'd want to import permanently), so the judge would make sure their sentence was only eighteen months or so. Women and children be damned, right. People who pass bad checks seem to do more time in prison than rapists.

Really???? But whyyyy? Why so much love and compassion for rapists? Gah, don't answer that, I think I already know.

Probably because they had women and children to take care of and the women didn’t have the education to take care of themselves and the children.

The rapists had illiterate wives and children to take care of? Lock 'em up and throw away the key. Get the women and kids some help. Returning a rapist to them isn't the answer.
