It boils down to this for me: why would I trust him or his declarations?

Why would you trust anyone’s declarations when they’re seeking parole? It’s quite the self serving process.

If I read this correctly, it does not have an effect on my opinion. I don’t think thread title guy should be freed.

While I find your sympathy/empathy admirable, I'm more on the other end of the spectrum. Unfortunately, when you murder someone, nothing can ever be made right. There is no such thing as paying your debt to society with that crime. He should have been euthanized decades ago, imo.

I wouldn’t consider my argument sympathetic or empathetic. I have no love for the man. I don’t believe in capital punishment under any circumstances and believe the system should be the same for all.

Quran
in Sura 3:28:

Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully; and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventual coming. (illā an tattaqū minhum tuqāt).[21]

Perhaps he had a homicidal psychotic episode and killed someone important because “palestine”.

I know I've done it once or twice.

Probably all the ambien.

Exactly.

I believe a justice system works best when it’s consistent and without emotion. He should be allowed the same opportunities with the process as any inmate seeking parole.

Is he a threat to society, still? Maybe, but so are some members of Congress, half of the SC Justices and most of today’s Republicans.

And you know the reason SIrhan shot Kennedy?
The same reason bin Laden attacked on 9/11.
Fucking Palestine.
Or was it Israel?
A conundrum, isn't it?

Yeh and what about the USS Liberty? You really think those Israeli pilots didn't know that was an American ship?
