With idiots like these

I read this article in the Herald Sun today.

In it, Melbourne's most dangerous sex offenders might be placed indefinately behind bars after their prison sentence is up.

This new proposal was prompted by the rape of "Jessica" who was savagely raped by a serial sex offender who was unrepentant and seemed to make raping women his first goal after being released from jail.

However, the High-Risk Offender Panel which reviews the cases and makes recommendations to the govt. prosecutor's office is being run by Council chairman Prof Arie Freiberg. Who appears to be a total nutcase. He claims that

the model had to balance protection of the community with protection of the rights of prisoners under the state's new Charter of Human Rights.

"Whatever you need to do, you should do it in a way that is least restrictive of a person's rights," Prof Freiberg said.

I mean, seriously??? Say again??? Tell me again Professor... whose rights are we suppose to be protecting again? A defenseless 45kg woman or a 150kg nutcase rapist who makes crocs look like lambs?

"Jessica" was unimpressed by the emphasis on human rights.
"I'm obviously quite biased but I believe after a certain time you've got to be able to give up some of those human rights because you don't deserve them," she said.

"How many opportunities do you get to exercise your basic human rights before you're no longer considered a human?" Jessica said people like her attacker were "more like an animal".

Well, Jessica, "they" seem to be the sort of animal that the dear Professor would like in his backyard.

Prof Freiberg touts one option where the animals... are supervised and released into the community.
"The whole focus here is on managing risk to the community, not on punishment of an offender because their punishment will have expired at the end of their sentence," Prof Freiberg said.

What a crock of shit. He's a total idiot. "The whole focus is on MANAGING RISK"??? That's a bit like saying- geez this rabid dog chewed off the face of a child last month- maybe we should place it a block away from a kindergarden and see what happens?

I can't believe this guy is actually advocating letting monsters into unsuspecting people's neighborhood. You'd protest if the Govt was going to place a toxic waste dump in the nextdoor street, but in Australia, the Govt can place a child rapists in your backyard and not tell you... so I guess not to "alarm you".

This Professor ought to be placed in the Circus with several starving pitbull dogs so that he can supervise them. After they've bitten off several chunks of his thigh, arms, and his bits of his face, he may learn something useful. But I suspect not.
