Mr. Schwaller,<br><br>Your final paragraph, below, is a masterful example of doublespeak, innuendo, and artful dodging. You obviously have learned well.<br><br>keely<br><br>> Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2007 11:02:24 -0700<br>> From: vpschwaller@gmail.com<br>> To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Subject: [Vision2020] Protection or an agenda<br>> <br>> I'm still not sure if Tom Hansen has a bonafide interest in "community<br>> protection" or simply an agenda. Or may be both.<br>> <br>> A month ago I answered his specific questions about Steven Sitler's<br>> release, gave explanations concerning the role of Probation and Parole<br>> in monitoring him (and others) after their release, the legal<br>> rationale behind his sentence, and specific guidelines Mr Sitler was<br>> to follow after his release. Let me reiterate, at no time did I hint<br>> that the public was safe, or that there is nothing to worry about. If<br>> I wasn't perfectly clear then, let me be now: with respect to Steven<br>> Sitler or any sex offender, or any parolee / probationer, there are<br>> specific policies, practices, and monitoring and reporting<br>> requirements which the offender must follow, or run the risk of<br>> serving out the full sentence. That does NOT mean they will follow<br>> these rules. It does NOT mean the community is "safe". Only an idiot<br>> would believe that. What it DOES mean is, there are bad guys out<br>> there - be aware of it, since there is a very good chance the offender<br>> at some time is going to stop following the rules placed on him at the<br>> time of his release.<br>> <br>> How safe are we? Nobody is totally safe from these predators.<br>> Generally speaking, if you are NOT acquainted with the offender, NOT a<br>> family friend, family member or don't personally know the guy, you're<br>> probably safer than someone who DOES know him.<br>> <br>> How likely is it an offender will re-offend? Why not err on the side<br>> of caution and take all the precautions one would take if you knew for<br>> certain there is a 100% chance of re-offense? Proactive, not<br>> reactive.<br>> <br>> Mr Hansen, you apparently did not like, or did not believe the answers<br>> I gave. You stated in an earlier post "After several off-line<br>> exchanges between myself and Sunil, I have learned a considerable<br>> amount concerning how probation works and the various problems our<br>> court system is forced to confront on a case-by-case basis."<br>> <br>> If the protectoin of our kids is, as you insis, your primary goal,<br>> maybe it would be a good idea to fill us in on Sunil's answers. In<br>> that way<br>> <br>> 1 - the community will all know what information is correct and what<br>> is not, and be able to act accordingly.<br>> 2 - I will know what information is correct and what is not, and stop<br>> giving out inaccurate or misleading statements relative to these<br>> cases.<br>> <br>> I have asked both you and Sunil if any of his answers were<br>> substantially different from those I posted. Neither of you have<br>> bothered to respond. Were I to be a victim of the classic "I am not a<br>> conspiracy theorist, I just act like one" disease I'd ask "What are<br>> the two of you hiding?"<br>> <br>> Schwaller<br>> <br>> =======================================================<br>> List services made available by First Step Internet, <br>> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <br>> http://www.fsr.net <br>> mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com<br>> =======================================================<br><br /><hr />Live Earth is coming.
