    Assaulting a helpless woman or child . Maybe a young man or boy attacked , assaulted , ruined for life .

    The perpetrator of such - have compassion for ?

    I couldn’t have compassion for sexual predators, death is too good for them.

    You have confirmed my initial thoughts exactly for your given explicit reasons - I shall not be writing and so glad I did my research!!! I will persevere with other prisoners if accepted, because I think it is a worthwhile cause. Thank you Stephanie. Thread is now closed as far as I'm concerned.

    I suspect this episode has shown that you may not be suitable as a volunteer for this scheme. No criticism intended - I would not be either.

    Sex offenders are particularly easy to judge and hate, but there are many other crimes that might disgust you when you know the details - violence against elderly or vulnerable people comes to mind. I think a volunteer in this scheme has to suspend their curiosity or judgement, and probably not many can.

    Think about this scheme and who would use it - prisoners who have a long sentence to serve. They're not there for refusing to pay for a TV licence.

    I think it's a very personal judgment call on whether to participate in the scheme or not but if you do it's so you can spread a little bit of light in a dark world and put whatever happened aside. I.e. He's been convicted of something that society finds horrendous and his punishment is his loss of freedom. But you don't know what, whether he has genuine remorse, or what circumstances in his life led to this mistake.

    I don't think there's anything inherently wrong in spreading a little light in what can be a dark world if you choose. It's certainly not condoning his actions.

    And let's bear in mind that 100% of the men posting here would be guilty of a sexual offence under Irish law. Our high horses are falabellas.

    Someone should be talking to him if he's going to be released back into the world.

    Sexual offenders : it’s not a one off ‘mistake’ .


    Do I Care “what circumstances” lead to such horrific crime ?

    No . I don’t .



    Look at the state of State of California : attitudes such as here in your post has lead to

    criminals being coddled , there is rampant unprovoked random violence of All sorts against

    innocent everyday people - because we have to have Compassion , and jeez “what circumstance

    of this “poor man” lead to him committing such awful things” .


    Few months ago I watched a news report : a young woman was attacked in middle of night

    in her own home : she woke to a man straddling her and proceeded to attack and maul her

    in the most vicious insensible brutal way .

    The female reporter tried being as gentle as she could , I was shocked that the victim would even

    give an interview - she recounted the horrors of the event , clearly still in shock and horribly traumatized .

    But lo and behold , within a moment of recounting her ordeal she switched to “what terrible life

    this man must’ve had to commit such atrocity” . She nearly was torn apart yet the brainwashing of

    ‘Compassion for criminals’ so strong it manifests itself even in that very moment .

    I ain’t got time for that .

    I do Not care what life he had . I care that the perpetrator is hurting innocent victims : women ,

    children of whatever age ; in whatever setting - opportunistic or premeditated .

    No room in society for predators .




    Yes , I feel compassion for ones who were themselves abused and so lead to them being abusers .

    I have compassion for the suffering they been through . I have no compassion for their own crime .

    Break the chain of violence : on a first offense , intense targeted counseling and All social services

    should be made available and Mandatory to try to steer that former victim / now offender away

    from repeating and perpetuating the violence that they themselves suffered .

    Consequent offenses : no more compassion .
    I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.

    To all compassionate guys in this thread, light in the dark etc...think about the victims! What about their light? What about the darkness, the trauma, mental issues, PTSD, caused by such an attack? Lives are ruined by them! Sexual predators have mental issues, differently wired, therefore a rehabilitation is difficult and they are likely to reoffend. Along with other crimes, such as murderers, pedophiles and some others, from me, they can rot in hell, they don't deserve compassion, where was their compassion, when they commited their henious crimes?
