Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?

You don’t answer the question about how this person can support themselves. They committed a horrible crime, but have served their time. It isn’t pulling for a rapist, it’s wanting to see someone rehabilitated.

People on one hand say they want to rehabilitate offenders. But when it comes to it, they want to permanently ostracize them, prevent them from working, and prevent them doing the daily tasks of living. You think they are a threat, wait until they are forced to live in the streets starving and see how they will lash out.

And are you seriously defending stabbing someone in a bar fight?

And, no, you don’t have the right to carry a gun on someone else’s property, including your employer’s.

I can absolutely see how someone who gets into fights can be rehabilitated. You can work with anger management, threat responses, removal of triggers, avoiding people or areas that cause the behavior, etc.

Rape? It’s an intentional, sadistic crime. I don’t really see how rehab would even work with a multiple rapist.

wanting to see someone rehabilitated

Tossing somebody on the street and hoping for the best isn’t rehab. Rehab involves active monitoring, behavioral modification, restrictions on liberties, etc. It also involves owning up to your crime to the community. If that makes life harder for the offender, that is their burden to bear.

  I don’t see why rehabilitation wouldn’t work. It either works or doesn’t. And OP says nothing about being a multiple rapist. Sure, maybe some crimes like murder you forfeit the right to be rehabilitated, but that isn’t what has been charged here.
  
  And, sorry, violent crime can be every bit as intentional and sadistic as rape.
  
  And where is your evidence he was just tossed on the street? He no doubt is being monitored by a parole officer and may very be receiving behavioral modification therapy.
  
  And you are not merely making life “harder” you are making life impossible and pushing him to reoffend.

They don’t because the answer is simple: YOU feed them, since you want to protect and defend rapists, and thus rape itself.

Or just put them back into jail for life. They’re a rapist. They don’t belong here no matter how much you want them to be, and the fact this was even allowed to happen in the first place is a testament to how you have caused society to destroy itself by defending rape.

Their inability to feed themselves is simply not our problem. They brought that onto themselves. We don’t have to let them into our communities and you can’t force us to.
