Yes I do disagree with what the system has done. I believe that serial rapist should never be released back into open society.

I have no wish to politicise this discussion; I have little doubt that the majority of the population wish to keep serial sex attackers away from open society, regardless of their political leaning. (Although as you point out, I have no proof, it is just a gut feeling).
Certainly there are a vociferous bunch of people of certain political leaning that will defend the most bizarre activities in the name of †œcivil libertiesââ‚ ¬ÂÂÂ. Personally, I think they have lost the plot when they extend their campaign to include the †œrightsà€Â of serial rapist.

As a general principle I agree, however, when the system releases serial rapist (who by the very nature of their description are likely to commit similar crimes again) it makes this very correct principle hard to defend.
Hence, it is my belief that the system is failing when it releases people (who are likely to do real harm to their fellow citizens) back into open society.
