Should've just shot him.

What a gigantic waste of money. Nueter and lobotomize these people and be done with it. And the Rat congresswoman needs to spend some time alone with these "sexually violent" inmates so she can pull her head out.

If these people are that risky, how is it that any authority could even consider re-introducing them into the public?

Are these people not clearly "throw away the key" types?

Give me a Letter of Marque and I'll shoot the scumbag for $100, plus expenses.

Shouldn't Michael Jackson just pay for this himself?

[Knute]

Hmmmm... $1.6 million annual budget

{OR}

A 50 cent bullet?

Let the taxpayers decide!

[grey_whiskers]

This is merely a jobs program for liberal democrats--counselors, psychical-holistic mood assesors, evaluators, and the like.

Did they ever find the hero who shot those 2 out of 3 child molesters?

[sandbar]

Cost of one bullet: $2.00.

Benefits: Priceless

But by DSHS' most optimistic projections, the annual per-resident cost will be more than $500,000...reminds me of the time twenty years ago when the chief psychiatrist of this state's mental health system (himself usually just this side of psychosis) decided to prove that with enough individual attention - personal psychiatrist, social worker, fancy digs, 'round the clock nurses and aids, etc. - he could "cure" a manipulative, somethimes violent, usually predatory sociopathic young man - the bill for that one, annualized, was about $100,000/year - and actually the staff did manage to shape their subject's behavior to be socially compliant enough that he was released from the hospital after about ten months......

...but without the structure of the institution and the constant efforts of the staff he quickly reverted to his old habits, attempted to rob some old man on the street, and ended up in jail - he soon hatched a plot with his cellmate to pretend to hang himself with the understanding that the cellmate would call the guards after he had been suspended for a few seconds, thereby being saved from "killing" himself and hopefully getting transferred back to his home in the hospital - unfortunately, characteristically he had apparently not treated his cellmate very well during the brief time they had been together, and the cellmate claims that he fell "asleep", thereby allowing this brilliant young man to actually strangle to death.....

...good luck to Seattle and those who live there, both in and out of their institutions.....
