Alas, Wisconsin not only houses their cannibals and other creatively dangerous lunatics, they also choose to merely house their sanely homicidal enthusiasts. Although better than Fetterman’s ideal of hiring, instead of housing, them and disarming us for their protection. They were the first to break with the Capital alternative, after its only application 170 years ago, when they’d only offered the ‘NH plan’ for murderers: Live Free or Die. Since their only exception to caged welfare has been the more efficient Dahmer option of death by true peers. They’ve yet to try the peerless Epstein option.
I would prefer a ‘punish the guilty and protect the future innocents’ ladder with a Capital top for all that knowingly, or evilly wantonly, climb that high. And although I’d allow some space for some kind of reparable insanity plea, for those far enough gone I’m an Old Yeller fan. Modern SCOTUS may or may not agree, but methinks the Framers would.
