[People do atone and move on in life.]
Not allowing rehabilitated felons to live in safe neighborhoods condemns them to 2nd class lifestyles.
Not being able to discern whether they are rehabilitated or not condemns the property owner to liability and potentially the neighbors to victimhood. The issue is, once again, that those who chose to break the law are being deified at the expense of those who didn’t.
So, what's wrong with that? After all, they are felons.
How do they get redeemed? In prison, where they actually hone their crime skills?
Do you have any idea how hard it is to be convicted of a felony in a lot of jurisdictions in this day & age? Unless you have a pretty impressive record, everything gets pled down to a misdemeanor.
A felony is, by definition a crime for which the perp must serve one year or more in prison, not the local jail, but actual prison.
Sorry, but I have minimal sympathy for anyone who manages to get himself convicted of a felony these days.
