12 years? For doing things that are so heinous they can't be described in the judgement? Stupid ****ing "justice" system makes me sick.

OM*G I am usually a left wing tree hugging hippy who believes in restorative and correctional justice. But it sounds like this poor excuse for a human being deserves to be in gaol for the rest of his life. Hopefully taking some of what he gave out. Sick. sick. sick.

Yes, thanks so much for putting us in the position of having what might be the most dangerous man in the state at present free to commit further crimes against women and men. Why does this happen?

It is actions like this that make me want to encourage vigilante groups. Unbelievable

I was horrified to read this. I'm a huge believer in rehabilitation and people being free to live their lives without judgment after serving their sentences. But, this man was released EARLY and didn't even serve his full sentence after committing acts so heinous the judge would not repeat them. Just speechless that this could happen.
