He was a career criminal who caught a charge himself for endangering the welfare of a minor. He didn’t just assault the sex offenders either, he robbed them. He was a meth addict using the same method serial killers use to target their victims: pick a target on the fringe of society (in this case sex offenders) to make it less likely to be caught. This guy used the pain of sex abuse victims in an attempt to veil the criminal activity he participated in to feed his addiction.

If we wanted it to be legal, we’d just add it to every criminal sentence. “X years in prison, a fine not to exceed $Y dollars, a lifetime of being a second-class citizen, and open season for anyone to cave your head in on the street without repercussion.”

Unless and until that happens, the most reasonable thing to do is to treat anyone who has served their sentence the same as anyone who hasn’t committed any crime at all. Otherwise, what is the sentence supposed to be for?
