The Spotlight: Can sexually violent predators really be rehabilitated? | FOX 13 Seattle

[@Liberty2358]

Pro-Violent Predators laws has to be repealed. Law makers need to do their jobs.

[@lwscijunkie]

It's utterly and totally irrelevant whether or not a sexually violent predator can be rehabilitated. ONE sexually violent attack and the convicted perpetrator must be incarcerated for life. Any attempts to see IF a SVP can be rehabilitated amounts to an extremely dangerous experiment using the public, who have not been asked their consent to be part of the experiment.

Let the board members lead by example. Have those creatures move into their neighbourhoods.

[@AFloridaSon]

Why would anyone want to risk a child being sxlly assaulted? Keep them behind bars, or under the dirt.

[@mr_imperfectiongamingchann1962]

Learn how to not become a victim.

[@justinm7741]

You need to be alot more worried about the drug dealers and gang bangers those are ones who can't be changed

[@JustMomHere]

That Judge does not live in their neighborhood.

[@davidkellogg2582]

They can be rehabilitated. With casteration.

[@geraldstamour1312]

They can be further rehabilitated when they BURN FOR ALL ETERNITY IN THE FIRES OF HELL!

[@maryfreebed9886]

No. Not even with that. As long as they live and are conscious, they will want what they want. Make of that what you will.

[@MadMaz1983]

Why aren't they released back to their Home States? I live in the UK so I don't understand why they're released into the communities next to where they're imprisoned & not transfered back to where they lived before incarceration. At least their previous communities KNOW who they are on sight.

[@montanamayfield]

The governor and Attorney General of Washington State know that violent predators should not be near children, however what do these politicians care they live in gated communities with troopers protecting them and their children.

[@iMatti00]

Respectfully, I kind of feel like that’s one dimensional thinking. Most state legislators do not live in gated communities. And the governor only has police protection while they’re in office which is only going to be update years. Just because you don’t understand why someone feels the way they do about rehabilitation doesn’t mean The people you do not understand are just some horrible people who couldn’t care less about anybody else. And on a related sidenote, I thought I heard somewhere that some of these people are being released, or maybe most of them, because it was declared unconstitutional to keep someone locked up based on civil commitment laws when they have shown they are extremely low risk. And if that’s true, then you’re going around and blaming and hating on politicians who had nothing to do with it.

[@montanamayfield]

@@iMatti00 how long have you lived and worked in Washington state? How many citizens do you interview asking citizens about their happiness with legislators, governor and the politicians and how Good is their Life been with current legislators drug and homeless policies? How many citizens both in western and Eastern Washington have you talked with about how they are doing financially with Washington State policies, laws , regulations? Get off your sofa and start driving all over WA State and then we can talk again?

[@iMatti00]

@@montanamayfield - Hi. Respectfully, you seem to have missed my entire point. You talked about elected officials not caring about citizens because they live in gated communities. I pointed out that was false. You didn’t acknowledge that. And of course I pointed out they only have police protection for a short period of time, so obviously they’re not going to want their community to go to hell since their police protection will be over very quickly. And you did not acknowledge that either. And I also pointed out how the judges or actually the one that made the ruling based on the law/constitution. Do you blame it on the governor and the Attorney General. And he did he knows that either. So I pointed out to you that rather than just believing people who believe in these ideas are only doing it because I don’t care about citizens and they have all this protection, you should understand people have different reasons for believing certain policies will work. But your response to me is not addressing what I actually said. You’re acting as if I said most people in the state prefer certain policies. And I didn’t say if the population did or did not support them. That’s not what my comment it’s about whatsoever.

[@montanamayfield]

@@iMatti00 I do not know where all elected WA state officials live. However the ones I know of have security with firearms, compound/ gated community. These officials are not worried about violent sexual predators.However, you appear to have knowledge ,so what elected officials approved Violent Risk Assessment Report filed against innocent law abiding citizens and the report number is SW ASRA_1.0 06/30/2011. This report is being filed AGAINST innocent citizens because Washington State democrats have a. Agenda against the POOR/ middle class. I am independent but like to investigate both parties when I see the poor/ middle class being harmed by elected officials.

[@Two_Deep]

They're nasty no amount of rehabilitation will help, not worth the risk to innocent people, you have to decide who matters more

[@justinm7741]

You need to be more worried about the drug dealers and gang bangers who can't be rehabilitated.

[@betrevryday1]

Didn’t mention it’s next steps. Translation = they’ll try to sneak another home in somewhere 🤯

[@misterhatley5894]

Revolving door.

[@khfan4life365]

No, they can’t. Next question please.

[@stuartobrien78]

I changed from a sexual offender misdemeanor, because God fixed me up. That was 8 years ago.

[@petekdemircioglu]

No

[@mew1534]

I don't get why we can't just give death penalty to every criminal?

[@mr_imperfectiongamingchann1962]

I don't get why citizen can't be euthanized?

[@cynthiaayers7696]

Because we'd have to kill everybody. Including you, just for thinking that.

[@chrislacy4185]

Gates and Epstein list ?

[@tomtee4442]

Most people know about Epstein but what about Gates? Do you mean Bill Gates did he take over the pedo islands?

[@sig7948]

14:20 this is what happens when corrupt worms think they can control reality

[@juansolano5838]

You cant rehabilitate a sexual preference. Im a man into women, try to rehabilitate me... not gonna happen.
