Hooray for Jeffrey Feiger, then. He's learned how to mouth the right words for a TV audience.
Since he's apparently made this stunning discovery that these perverts cannot be rehabilitated, here's a question for him - what does he propose we do about them? He won't allow us to execute them, he won't allow us to chemically castrate them (and I'm not sold on this either), and apparently he won't even allow us to imprison them. And if the child's parents were to gun the pervert down, Feiger would be the first one in front of the cameras howling about "vigilante justice" and the need to put the parents on Death Row, right along side all us folks who "destroyed wetlands" by putting a couple shovels full of dirt into a mud puddle in our back yards. (oh, and just for good measure take all our guns away).
So what does that leave us, according to Mr. Feiger? Just accept the fact that guys like Couey are going to prey on children, and hope that they don't decide to take ours this time? Turn our homes and communities into fortresses, and live like prisoners behind bars and gates, shunning all contact with other people out of fear for our lives, while the predators roam free? And we're supposed to call this civilization?

You are engaging in a bit of hyperbole here, are you not? Just a bit over the top in your wording. It's very interesting how you can speak to exactly what's in Mr. Feiger's mind, what his personal opinions are, and what he would or wouldn't do. Are you related to him? Are you channeling him? It's obvious you want to use Mr. Feiger as a whipping boy, however having watched him on various legal programs on TV, like Greta VanSustern's show on Fox, I have been reasonably surprise at some of the more hardline stances he has taken. He thought Scott Peterson guilty from the very start, and was happy when he was convicted and sentenced to death. Frequently, he takes a much more conservative stance than some of the other people on the programs. Sometimes he is more liberal in his opinions, but he is a mixed bag, not a johnny one note. My point being that you shouldn't put words in his mouth that he didn't speak, and why you've decided to use him as your dog to kick regarding this case is beyond me.
