Honestly, this guy needs to be thrown away in a cell and forgotten about. He clearly is not willing to stop on his own, and, quite frankly, I can't see him stop

Honestly, this guy needs to be thrown away in a cell and forgotten about. He clearly is not willing to stop on his own, and, quite frankly, I can't see him stopping for anything other than being locked away.

That's a pretty disturbing concept of justice

  Why? This guy has, time and again, harassed this person after being asked to stop. He has shown that he does not care to follow the rules of civilized society.

    So there's no hope for his rehabilitation? I hardly think so. You also seem to believe that prisons exist merely to punish rather than deter and/or rehabilitate - which, incidentally, reveals the most cursory of understandings of the penal system.

      No, I am very much in favor of rehabilitation over punishment. However, there are people who don't respond to that. I believe this guy is one of them. 12 years, and he didn't stop? That's not someone who's interested in rehabilitation.

    > He has shown that he does not care to follow the rules of civilized society. I think it's much more likely he's mentally ill and doesn't understand them.

      I think that's a convenient excuse. I mean, these are not deep, intricate, complex social rules we're talking about.

He may very well be mentally ill. This sounds like something a trump supporter might say

  How ironic. The very person doing the stalking may well be a Trump supporter!

    This, please don't engage in personal attacks on HN, but much, much more importantly, please don't be a partisan fascist. Trump supporters are not your enemy and they are not subhumans incapable of reason. They disagree with you about who we should elect and the direction our country should take, but their voices matter. There is no substantive difference between thinking Trump supporters are mentally deficient and thinking the same of $race or $gender or $nationality. Really believing in this value is more important to our democracy than who wins the presidency. Edit: in short, we can all learn something from Linus Torvalds. http://blog.erratasec.com/2015/11/we-should-all-follow-linuss-example.html http://blog.erratasec.com/2015/11/we-should-all-follow-linus...

      Agreed. One of my most liberal and most intelligent friends told me he was a Trump supporter. And he had a halfway-decent set of reasons for it.

  1. I am not a Trump supporter. 2. If he is mentally ill, then throw him in a cell with access to mental health treatment.
