Graham,

I stand by my original statement †œI would think he needs security because the majority of right minded people abhor the fact that we have a system that allows people like this to settle in open society.ââ‚à ƒâ€šÃ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ÂÂ�

Unfortunately it seems that some "right minded" (or, as above, "narrow minded") people aren't willing to accept that.

By right, I intended to mean people who think in the correct way, not a political leaning as you seem to have implied.

This guy had been jailed several times previously for committing sexual attacks, including rape, two attempted rapes and three indecent assaults. His latest release was after serving a term for an attempted rape of a 59 year old.

I can only ask, how can one justify releasing such a person to live in open society, regardless of political leaning? He is a proven, serial sex offender. Perhaps you would care to explain?

Similarly, I stand by my statement thatââ‚ ¬Ã‚ÂÂÂ� Amongst those right minded people (many millions), it is inevitable that some may take action against people of this kind, feeling that †œthe systemââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ÂÂ� had failed them"

I did not say, or imply, that I disagreed with a system that released someone who had served a sentence and †œpaid their debt to societyââ‚à ‚¬Ã‚ÂÂ�

However, a large proportion of our population think that the system has failed when it allows a serial sex attacker such as this to be free to roam our streets. Whilst not condoning their actions, it is inevitable that some will seek to administer rough justice. Hence the need to protect released prisoners such as these.

I will ignore you newspaper remark as I feel it adds nothing to the discussion and was only added to inflame.

It is not for you or those "millions" of "right thinking" people to take matters into your own hands if you don't like the way the system works.

I absolutely agree.


However, I would think that a more responsible attitude would be rather than arguing for the rights of serial sex attackers, peopleââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s time might be better spent campaigning for their eternal incarceration.
