[keely emerinemix]

Mr. Schwaller,Your final paragraph, below, is a masterful example of doublespeak, innuendo, and artful dodging.  You obviously have learned well.keely> Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2007 11:02:24 -0700> From: vpschwaller at gmail.com> To: vision2020 at moscow.com> Subject: [Vision2020] Protection or an agenda> > I'm still not sure if Tom Hansen has a bonafide interest in "community> protection" or simply an agenda.  Or may be both.> > A month ago I answered his specific questions about Steven Sitler's> release, gave explanations concerning the role of Probation and Parole> in monitoring him (and others) after their release, the legal> rationale behind his sentence, and specific guidelines Mr Sitler was> to follow after his release.  Let me reiterate, at no time did I hint> that the public was safe, or that there is nothing to worry about.

That does NOT mean they will follow> these rules.  It does NOT mean the community is "safe".  Only an idiot> would believe that.  What it DOES mean is, there are bad guys out> there - be aware of it, since there is a very good chance the offender> at some time is going to stop following the rules placed on him at the> time of his release.> > How safe are we?  Nobody is totally safe from these predators.> Generally speaking, if you are NOT acquainted with the offender, NOT a> family friend, family member or don't personally know the guy, you're> probably safer than someone who DOES know him.> > How likely is it an offender will re-offend?
