You seem pretty dead set on ignoring the information that has been released. From the study on post-release homicides you posted and excerpts from the parole documents released he had at least 12 of the 15 major risk factors for committing a homicide after release. That isn't speculation, those are the facts we have so far.
So the parole board released someone with a major history of violent crime, who has previously violated parole, and who had the vast majority of the risk factors they themselves had previously identified for committing homicides while on parole.
I think it's pretty speculative to say that was a defensible course of action - this is someone who was going to re-offend. It only made the news because it was a spree of murders and not just another grab bag of assaults and robberies.
You've also been steadfast in ignoring my question about how many chances are enough. I think "50 strikes" is a reasonable upper limit before you don't get to be part of society anymore. What do you think? Is there any number of times someone can repeat violent crime for you to think they should forfeit their freedom?
