    Don't forget the rapist told to not have sex until he is married.

    This man was an undiagnosed schizophrenic at the time of the killing. Since then he has been medicated and is reportedly horrified by his own actions. Now that he is no longer sick AND aware of the need to take medication do we keep him locked up for the rest of his life?

    He is no longer a threat - he is medicated and seeing a psychiatrist. We can't lock people up because they might do something in the future, can we?

    "Might do", my ass. He did do. And "no longer a threat" is merely someone's opinion, it is not a statement of fact.

    There are lines you don't come back from crossing regardless of excuse, and beheading and cannibalizing an innocent person sure as shit should fall in that category. Let him stay in a cushy institution, but this guy should not be turned loose on the world on his mere promise that he'll take his meds and be a good boy from now on.

    We can if they've already done something in the past.

    I feel the same way about Hinckley.
