Just a question, J. What should we do with folks like Sitler and Coe?

*IF* Sitler reoffends?  *IF*?  Of course he will reoffend.  There is no way 
a guy with his kinda record and history is going to just stop.  There has 
been NO, that's *NO* proof that these guys can be "cured".  It may take 
months or even years before he gets caught or he may be one of those that 
never gets caught - but his newest victims will know he has not stopped and 
at least one will know just exactly when he started up again.

Both Sitler and Coe are being "allowed" to pick when and where they go.  
Used to be the State chose and the prisioner dealt with that choice.  There 
is NO reason why a person can not be treated in-house while being watched 
and the rest of us can be sure they are not out there doing things.  And 
there is no reason Coe shouldn't just sit in the town he committed his 
crimes and put up with the public outcry to his potential release.

Waiting for these guys to reoffend is kinda like watching a fire and 
wondering "Is this gonna burn?"
