Why should society give a flying sh!t about an ex-felon when we just spent millions supporting this criminal in prison?

This is going on 20 years of appeals. DNA & confession proved he did it.

He raped, strangled to death with her OWN SHOE LACES Nicki Read and then threw her body in the river. Even helped hunt for what was thought to be a missing child. The INJUSTICE system does not give a flip how much money or grief it causes the victim’s family to have this crap delayed and delayed, and then finally some anti-death penalty justice will void the sentence and give life with parole, which means more grief to fight the suckers. And criminals have MORE rights that the victim or victim’s family!
Governor Bill Halsam has yet to set a date or sign the death warrant, ask him how long Nicki’s mom has to wait for justice.

Without wandering too deep into the weeds on this issue, my opinion is that voting isn't the wonderful thing that we might think it is. In principle, I suppose, we should be protective of the responsibility given to the average person.

In practice, though, the choice of candidates we so often have, it's hardly ever worth the time it takes to place your ballot.

That said, I don't think the biggest threats to our democracy are convicted felons.
