I stated outright that I understand he was suffering from mental illness and didn't understand what he did was wrong.
I reread my sentence and agree it doesn't make sense. i misread what you stated.

Okay, so ignorance is not the right term.

Regardless of that, after what he did I still feel he should be permanently confined to his mental health facility and unable to leave it.

What they're talking about is releasing him for 30 minute -to- day long trips into Selkirk with an aide and a peace officer (with cell phone).

I think after what he did, he shouldn't have the opportunity to do even that. Both because of the (what they feel to be remote) chance he may re-offend, and the severity of the first crime being so egregious.

I get that you feel differently, but that doesn't mean I'm ignorant. I just disagree.
The only way I see him reoffending is if he was granted unescorted parole. And I hope to god it never happens.

Hey Dion,

A schizophrenic cannibalistic murder is going to be walking around downtown tomorrow when your wife and kids are out and about but don't worry there's only a 0.8% chance he might do something like that again and there's a doctor and a guy with a cell phone watching over him so it's all good.

You feel me now? Again, I understand the ruling and read the same articles you did. I just disagree with it... and the above is one of the biggest reasons why.

You can disagree, but how can you call anyone who might have a problem with that "ignorant"?
Fair enough. We'll agree to disagree on wether fear is warrented.
