Assault with a friendly weapon? It's still assault. What happened to "three strikes and you are out"?

You neo-cons must be Twilight fans, because you're thirsting for blood at the drop of a hat...

Since the article didn't state the rapists sexual preference ,I say release him in a apartment complex of his type who are all HIV positive.

There is no question....he will re-offend. This time though he is likely to kill his victims to try and avoid going back to the slam. Great job State of Washington! I look forward to the state getting sued into oblivion when the future victims families sue the state for negligence and wrongful death.

He's only 57, and was committing rapes in 1970, at age 17? He doesn't sound like someone who ever needs to be released...

Sounds like we need some new laws! Life or the death penalty!

Judge Paris Kallas signed the court order lets remember him when election time comes around. These judges that are soft on sexual offender should not be re elected again. Maybe someone should get the O'reiley factor after this judge. I bet if they came after him I bet Paris would Cr@p.

Obviously rehabilitation doesn't work for these type of people. Re-instate state/federal mandated lobotomies. Never have to worry that this repeate offender will touch another human in an unlawful way again. The upside: Cost savings. No need for special correctional facilities, no guards, just a person to wipe his mouth and direct him around a (campus) of his peers.

"He was paroled in 1992 but was committed to the Special Commitment Center the following year. He was conditionally released from the center in 1997, though he was sent back for three months when he violated conditions of his release in 2001." Convicted sex offenders should NEVER be released. PERIOD! An offender cannot be rehabilitated and have no place in society.

Why is our Judicial system (Made up of almost entirely men) so linient with men who rape women??? I say CUT HIS N##TS off with a dull butter knife.

When are there going to be laws to protect the innocent against people against perps like this one. He is a repeat offender and should not be released. But as long as his rights are protected the legal system doesn't seem to care when people get out and rapes again.
