Any such person should unquestionably be released.
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoEasy for us to say, far away from the domestic abuse or child endangerment issue. Armchair justice is so much simpler than the real thing.
- itishappy 3y agoI hope you're not suggesting we lock people up who have not been convicted of a crime.
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoI just imagine that the system is not black and white. And again, armchair logic is fine from where we're sitting. Folks may also be harmed by this. I suggest there will be unintended consequences.
- itishappy 3y agoSure. All actions have consequences. Folks may even benefit. Out of all the potential consequences, you're focused on this one. I'm just trying to understand your intent. Are you suggesting alternatives?
- CogitoCogito 3y agoThe consequence of this decision is that people will be released if their convictions are for these certain crimes. That consequence is absolutely intended.
