Too much focus and concern is spent worrying about the rights of the perpetrators and not enough on the victims - and is not representative of a ‘caring society’. Victims first!!!

I'm pretty sure he is not going to be just sent out to live next to a playground and forgotten about. It's not even about about his rights - he has fulfilled his debt to society as deemed fit by the courts. That's not my punishment (which would have been harsher), or your punishment, or even the punishment of his victim, but by the law.

We either have a rule of law or we don't, but when you talk about "future victims", then we're heading into thought crime territory.

I genuinely have no idea what the best thing to do is, however, if he is being released he shouldn't be released to be murdered.
