You are consistent: you have also stated that child molesters
should not be tracked or otherwise treated differently after release, while
adding that
perhaps they are released too soon. FWIW I agree; transient illness is not
a felony.
Gosh, I wonder what manic-depressive Tipper Gore or SecDef Cohen's spouse
think.
If molestation (sexual or not, child or not) is a behavioral pattern, catch
and release is not appropriate.
