[Vision2020] Coe, Sitler and Duncan

Ok, I'm going to meet you half way on this - what proof have you read or 
heard that indicates Coe is any kind of danger in Spokane?  Even his lawyer 
says the move is because the "facilities are nicer...and he can have access 
to the computers."  Sounds to me like he is more interested in comfort than 
in rehab.

I am not saying he or any of those creeps should be mistreated - I am saying 
that giving in to their want's or wishes is not in the best interest of the 
victim (dead or alive) or society.  They already get everything handed to 
them...why add to that insult by transferring them just because?

J  :]
