I'm saying everyone has the capacity to kill, purposefully or not. You have an infinitely greater chance of being struck by car than you do of having deGroode come for you. He killed 5 people in a horrific way, while he had no idea what was happening. More people die every day due to a number of factors (illness, accidents).

This just scares me. Public safety is #1 priority, this is why we have a justice system.
If you are confident with the rehabilitation process then I expect you to be the first to have Degrood babysit your children.

I would rather trust that our justice system has succeeded and consulted with the proper experts, and give the proper medication, to allow de Groode to live some semblance of a life at some point than assume it fails and lock away a sick young man forever without a chance at rehabilitation.
Is "can baby-sit my kids" the bar for being allowed even a shred of freedom in our society? Because, as I said before (and this is the last time I will address this f***ing stupid strawman), there are plenty of "normal" people I wouldn't trust to take care of my dog, much less a human child.
