Criminal Minds

I just read about a repeat sex offender who is on the lamb.  It would appear that this person is considered extremely dangerous and at risk of offending again. Vancouver Police warns of high risk sex offender on the loose

This is one area of our criminal justice system that I just don't understand.  This particular individual has a long violent and deviant history, why on earth should he ever be released especially when they fear he is at a high risk for re-offending.  I personally don't think that individuals who perform these kind of crimes can be rehabilitated.

Why does our system put others at risk?  I just don't get it.  Being a mother of three daughters you can imagine my concern.  My girls use the public transit system to get around.  They all work late shifts and have been known to have to take transit home after a shift.  I have tried to instill in my girls about being ever vigilant about their personal safety and to be on the alert for anything peculiar.  Reminding them to stay in well lit areas and again taking all the necessary precautions.  But even with all of that, you just never know.  If a deviant such as this James Patrick Benson wants to harm someone he will.

There is something wrong with a system who gives more rights to a criminal such as this and my girls have to travel with the fear that he is out there....possibly tracking and preying on his next victim.

He has NO rights as far as I am concerned.  He lost all his rights when he murdered that woman back in 1997.  What I find even more disturbing is that he was only 17 at the time.  He is a very sick individual, I pray they catch him soon, lock him up and throw away the key.
