IF someone kills a kid, sir, he shouldn't be let out again.
He should be killed himself. Your sympathy for him is disgusting.
"Your sympathy for him is disgusting."
No symppathy here for Steinberg; just contempt for the cynical newspapers who use people for profit, and for people like you who think the law is for everyone else, but not themselves.
He should have been shivved while he was still "on vacation."
It's not sympathy for Steinberg. It's digust with the system, and I agree with doug. If we are to have a system where the people who have been imprisoned ONCE are on a permanent watch list, then the objective of the police will be to get everyone on that watchlist, regardless of their actual deviancy. This is not to say that Steinberg ISN'T a likely recidivist, but frankly, if he is, why the HELL was he sentenced lightly and let out quickly?
The objective here should not be to make sure people who molest or kill kids on a permanent watch, which is what the paper is doing. The objective should be to keep them locked up if they are truly likely to commit the same or similar crimes again.
I second your post # 6.
