so if he's going to do it regardless of the consequence then shouldn't we be protecting society from these deviants by removing them from it permanently?
I mean if he's willing to cross that line once no matter the consequence why wouldn't he do it multiple times.
In that case then shouldn't the justice system switch its focus from rehabilitation to public safety?
