I just never understood the rush to get him out so quick and apparently that makes me a bad guy.

That's not anywhere close to what your stance was earlier...

Plus, he's living in a group home and has to be heavily medicated for the rest of his life. It's not like society is missing out on much.
But then again, in situations like this, where there is zero doubt of who comitted the murder and why, I'm A-OK with the death penalty, so I'm biased. I just don't see how he deserves to be free in any way.
If I was the family of his victim I'd be devastated. How has justice been served? Their son/sibling/boyfriend/husband is gone, by virtue of public decapitation, and this guy gets to have any semblence of freedom? The system failed.

I don't believe there's been anyone at all who has advocated his release unconditionally. The recommendation was to move him from his current location to a psychiatric unit in Winnipeg, supervise his condition there, give him unsupervised day releases more frequently and then, if everything goes well, look at the possibility of sending him to a group home where he would still be supervised and gradually reintroduce him to society.
