No. You don’t get a free pass because you MIGHT improve after the NEXT rehab. There’s no buts here.

Yeah I didn’t say anything about a free pass.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Talking about recovery and rehabilitation for people with substance abuse problems, and talking about rehabilitation for a kidnapper and rapist are so far apart they might as well be in different languages. The immediate concern with ADR (if he did this and the evidence VERY STRONGLY suggests he did) is keeping people safe from him.

Yeah he should be tried and probably sentenced, as I said.

Justice is a long process and making cases for “special types” of criminality is how we get a prison system like we have in America. Either everyone deserves justice or everyone doesn’t.

It’s disturbing to me to see people who advocate for that kind of thing—super special punishments without hope/paths for redemption—because it’s philosophically pretty bad. It serves nobody you care about and helps people who are much worse than any criminal you want punished.

Yeah, I generally don't believe in prisons but even my future bleeding heart system would recognize that someone who's done those things needs to be sectioned off for a while to get help and keep themselves safe and others safe. Even rehabilitative focused justice systems will recognize that someone who did those things is going to be a potential danger until they get serious help.

I don’t think my original post made it clear that this is pretty much what I think should happen. I think it came off like I think he should be allowed to enter rehab without any kind of prison time; that’s not what I think should happen.

That’s because I said originally was a response to this question:

Tr33 posted:

I have rather liberal beliefs when it comes to jail time, but like how would somebody ever return to normal society after they did their time? Feels like he should never get out.

So like, “I’m a liberal, but...” is a trap. Making exceptions for your beliefs is how we have created a country of 330 million with a jailed population of 2.3 million with 59% of them being minorities. You make special rules for special monsters who just so happen to be Other.

Not trying to single anyone out. It happened a couple times in this thread already and then again after I said what I said.

Seems unfair to lump bix with rovert (may he rip) as bix is like one of the few legit journalistish people covering wrestling.
