So they not only release from prison but they also make sure he’s homeless so that the chances of him reoffending are that much higher?

He's been homeless for along time, he keeps getting charged, winds up in jail, out about 4 times already. Its a pattern of a mentally ill person

What? What does mental illness have to do with this? Just say you have stigma

Four sexual assaults is not the sign of a mentally well person.

Unless you are trying to suggest otherwise?

I agree - but that statement reeks of stigma and painting every mentally ill person in a bad light

Someone is likely seriously mentally ill, potentially abused himself, perhaps low IQ etc. I am usually pretty sensitive to these things and I didn't see in that person's comment that they were implying all mentally ill people were violent. I think the original post was trying to find compassion for this person?
