How is this different from any violent criminal?

He has mental issues. Is it that you didn’t read or that you didn’t care?

Zero pity

Right. Guess that answers that 🤦

At some point we gonna need to start dealing with this issue because whatever is going on right clearly is not working.

And what is going on right now is prison making the mental health and therefore behavior of offenders with mental issues MUCH WORSE.

Even if you have no empathy with someone who isn’t able to function properly acting out horribly, from a purely practical perspective of “let’s do something to prevent this kind of thing from happening again”, therapy is infinitely more effective than prison at that

where the perp gets more sympathy then the public servant who was brutally beat

Sympathy isn’t the point.

You said yourself that whatever is going on right now clearly isn’t working.

What is going on right now is that there’s only very few and expensive resources available to make sure that nothing like this horrific attack can happen.

Then when it DOES happen, they try to fix it by forcing the perpetrator into an extremely violent environment rife with abuse from fellow inmates and guards alike.

Then when that torture doesn’t help anyone, juvenile offenders become lifers and everyone gives up on them just like they do with the majority of adults who are imprisoned.
