Treated fairly, he could be a good advocate to help stop that culture he was involved in.

That's my take on the situation as well.

It's always been a pet peeve of mine to see how ex-cons are treated in our society. It's no wonder that the recidivism rate is so high once they get out of jail. Despite the fact that they did their time, nobody seems to want to give them a fair shake.

Now I'm no bleeding heart - if a person is deemed unfit to live in society, than throw away the key and let them rot in prison for life. But if we are going to let the rest of them out at some point, I believe we are obliged to let them return to society with full rights. That means they should be able to vote, own guns, and do anything else a regular citizen can do. Otherwise, why let them out at all?

Im with you 100% too. I would ask, can anyone, point to a single bad thing he has done SINCE what happened? I can’t find any,,but he has been quietly doing a lot of anti-dogfighting appearances. Even the humane society recently remarked on it in a positive manner.
