“I have little expectation that Paula Cooper will ever be a productive citizen”
That’s right. She’ll get all kinds of welfare and free stuff from the government. Hell, here in NY they give full Section 8 housing, food stamps, Medicaid, etc. to sex offenders when they are released from prison.
Almost as bad in Virginia. My local violent sex offender (nontrivial offense) got himself onto disability. He is definitely not disabled.
