The action that seems to have enraged you this much was the judge
granting his request to avoid Spokane County lockup and spend a few
weeks at a more humane facility. He's known in Spokane as a legendary
rapist, wouldn't it be overly cruel to make him spend time in lockup
there where his own safety would be in jeopardy?
Or would you rather we just tie him up by his toes and beat him with
baseball bats until the time of his hearing?
Unless I'm remembering wrong from when I was a child, he didn't kill
anybody. His mom tried to, if I remember correctly, but he didn't.
He's spent a quarter of a century in prison as a known rapist. I'm
amazed he survived at all. All the time that a normal person would
spend building a family and a career was spent in a prison cell. He's
also a convicted felon upon release, a registered sex offender, and a
notoriously infamous celebrity to boot. Not to mention the fact that
they are considering keeping him committed past his release date. Isn't
that enough? Or do we have to make each and every request of his fall
on deaf ears just in spite? There are people who get off easy for some
things, yes, but I wouldn't count him as one of them.
