And lest you think this is exaggerating, this guy was released after his EIGHTH arrest for stalking.

I'm not a big fan of our style of incarceration... slave labor with the constant threat of violence from staff and fellow inmates (dependent upon which facility). But this is a guy who needs to be gone. He will never stop. He has no boundaries. And is constantly being emboldened by a system that says women aren't allowed to ever feel safe.
You can swap him into prison for some black guy that smoked weed
I support corporal punishment for people like this. Cane the shit out of his ass until he can't sit for a month.
Make Caning Great Again.
He needs chemical castration really. And antipsychotics.
At the very least the latter. Probably the former too.

The percentage of rapists that are never convicted (and the number of rapists that are cops and prison guards) says otherwise.
There are MANY other things in American society that are extremely unsafe for women (like pregnancy, for example), but this is an easy one to point out.
You're going to comb through 1,000,000 cases and skip 500,000 where women were fucked over in order to bring us 100s of cases where women got "the pussy pass."
Nobody can explain bias or statistics to you, nobody will dismantle all your proof, the end.
Dazzle me with your sources.
Please.
