Will you be fine if people are allowed to beat up an inmate scheduled for death penalty ? How does it really matter if we break a few bones right before he is dead ?
I think the logic is the whole "sex offender" registry is bullshit. Check what sort of things can get you on that list. So people on parole are not necessarily hardened horrible criminals we should despise.
Even if they are bad people why should not be they allowed to play a game ? How on earth do we even enforce such restriction? Creating restrictions that can not be enforced reduces overall respect for law. Tomorrow the politician will say Itunes should not sell pop songs of teenage singers to such people are we supposed to comply ?
I see this as sex war pretty much like drug war.
- mikeash 10y agoI don't see how beating up death row inmates is analogous. I don't support the death penalty at all, but even ignoring that I don't support physical violence against prisoners, no matter how guilty. I do, however, support punishing criminals. And since letting criminals out on parole is a nice thing we do for them, not a requirement, I think we should consider the fact that these people could easily still be in prison instead. If they hadn't been paroled then they wouldn't be able to play Pokemon Go either, and they'd have a bunch of other restrictions on their lives besides.
