I guess it's all good as long as you aren't affected in any way.
But we do that with convicted murderers.... they do their time and if a panel of experts feel that they are not a risk to society, then they are released. Sure, some do re-offend. We "roll the dice" every time we release a previously violent crimal back onto the streets; but we do it because we, as a society, believe in second chances and letting people become contributing members of a community despite a violent past. One case where rolling the dice turned up craps doesn't mean that it happens that way most of the time. It could well be the exception that proves the rule.
