I agree that you should not judge people with the labels thrown at them. Look at the facts of the case made against the person on these lists before just lumping them all together.

In Minnesota while a U of MN Law Student I worked with prisoners mainly at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Stillwater. Some of these men were way beyond any redemption by society. Others just made poor choices in their lives and had paid for them.

Too easy to go through life on stereotypes.
