Supervise the Sicko

Now Mama really ain't happy. Why do people (and by people I mean the liberals) think that it's more important to protect the feelings and the rights of criminals and completely disregard the well being of the population at large. U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman has decided to ease the restrictions and give more flexibility to the doctors caring for John Hinckley. Here is a guy who tried to kill the President of the United States of America. If he was successful, not only would the United States have lost one of the greatest presidents this country has ever seen, but it would have caused a ripple effect throughout the nation that could have potentially been crippling. Now I am not completely without compassion for the legally insane. I may not completely agree that just because someone is declared not guilty by reason of insanity, that they should not be punished the same way a common criminal is. I think that being confined to a mental institution for the rest of their lives is not out of the question. Why on earth would we consider ever giving this wacko the freedom to live among innocent people. Why is it more important to this judge that John Hinckley learn how to integrate back into society than to protect people from this nut job. The judge wants to give him more unsupervised visits with his family. This man tried to kill the leader of the free world. Why should he ever be unsupervised even for a second. He should never be allowed to mingle among innocent people again. And while I feel sad that there are people, who possibly through no fault of their own, are insane. But I feel worse for the innocent people who lose their lives or the lives of their loved ones because some sicko is on the loose. The left wingers need to stop focusing on the rights and feelings of the few and start to protect the masses.
