Saw on the news briefly as I walked by the TV that some serial rapist or something (Papewaio might be able to elaborate more) was released after serving his sentence.
I watched a few people saying he should be locked up, he will reoffend, etc.
I do not think this is a good stance to have personally. The judge/jury sentenced the man to the appropriate(?) level, with the understanding of the situation of the man's crimes and himself in general.
I don't think people should be rallying to throw him back in jail again after he served his time. That is not justice, that is vengeance.
I must say though, I come from an outside perspective and not one that has been affected by such things.
Thoughts?
With regards to the shaming, there will be things likes a current affair and today tonight or 60 minutes that will do shows on him every so often most likely. Whilst he will never have a proper life again, he does deserve some privacy and freedom from media attention IMO.
