The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

ITT: people reallly pulling for a rapist.
I'm honestly with OP on this one. Rape is up there with torture and child abuse. You've gotta be a real scumbag to do it. It's not something you get pressed into by circumstance, like e.g. stabbing someone in a bar fight. At some point, the right of everyone else to be free of threat outweighs one guy's right to reintegrate with society.
OP, you live in the US, and you have 2nd Amendment rights. Start carrying to work.
I'm not "for"anyone here, but "carry a loaded weapon to work" sounds like the worst advice possible. I guess you could justify that workplace safety isn't a thing, but that's no reason to throw kerosene into a fire.
Sure, it's obvious how it sounds, but adults don't make decisions about their safety based on vibes.
'muricans can't really be considered adults – especially gun nuts.
I don't think people should bring guns to work either, but you kind of (intentionally, I assume) dodged my point entirely
You do not have a 2nd Amendment right at work. Your employer controls your ability to carry on their property.
Edit to Add - it's not about the Rape part. It's about the Ex Felon part. Today it's a Rapist. Tomorrow it's the guy who stole bread for his family. The day after that no one can ever be released so we bring back lifetime indentured servitude. We've seen this story before and it ended with a civil war over slavery and a civil rights movement.
"Not wanting to work with a multiple rapist is the same as slavery"
Well no. That's a radical simplification. I'm explaining how this impulse led to slavery back in the day. As a result, locking people up forever as a matter of course turns out to be a really bad idea.
However this is exactly the level of discourse I've come to expect in regards to protecting society from conservative excess.
You don’t answer the question about how this person can support themselves. They committed a horrible crime, but have served their time. It isn’t pulling for a rapist, it’s wanting to see someone rehabilitated.
People on one hand say they want to rehabilitate offenders. But when it comes to it, they want to permanently ostracize them, prevent them from working, and prevent them doing the daily tasks of living. You think they are a threat, wait until they are forced to live in the streets starving and see how they will lash out.
And are you seriously defending stabbing someone in a bar fight?
And, no, you don’t have the right to carry a gun on someone else’s property, including your employer’s.
I can absolutely see how someone who gets into fights can be rehabilitated. You can work with anger management, threat responses, removal of triggers, avoiding people or areas that cause the behavior, etc.
Rape? It's an intentional, sadistic crime. I don't really see how rehab would even work with a multiple rapist.
Tossing somebody on the street and hoping for the best isn't rehab. Rehab involves active monitoring, behavioral modification, restrictions on liberties, etc. It also involves owning up to your crime to the community. If that makes life harder for the offender, that is their burden to bear.
I don’t see why rehabilitation wouldn’t work. It either works or doesn’t. And OP says nothing about being a multiple rapist. Sure, maybe some crimes like murder you forfeit the right to be rehabilitated, but that isn’t what has been charged here.
And, sorry, violent crime can be every bit as intentional and sadistic as rape.
And where is your evidence he was just tossed on the street? He no doubt is being monitored by a parole officer and may very be receiving behavioral modification therapy.
And you are not merely making life “harder” you are making life impossible and pushing him to reoffend.
They don't because the answer is simple: YOU feed them, since you want to protect and defend rapists, and thus rape itself.
Or just put them back into jail for life. They're a rapist. They don't belong here no matter how much you want them to be, and the fact this was even allowed to happen in the first place is a testament to how you have caused society to destroy itself by defending rape.
Their inability to feed themselves is simply not our problem. They brought that onto themselves. We don't have to let them into our communities and you can't force us to.
Fuck off, asshole. I am not defending rape.
It’s our problem when you want to take the ability for them to care for themselves.
And it’s not that I want them to be. It’s that society has determined they have served their time. You seem to want to force them into recidivism, which supports rape more than anything I said.
Mate he's an idiot at best and a troll at worst. He thinks I'm sexist because I find the idea of lifetime imprisonment a "disgusting sentiment". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes the fuck you are, you vile, disgusting rape apologist. You and your ilk have:
These are positions your little cult have argued, hiding behind flowery language and Motte-and-bailey arguments, and you will NOT escape responsibility for your words.
You are a rape apologist. Period.
The fact that people on this platform are siding with the rapist is either evidence for bot activity or a sign the platform should be isolated and defederated from everyone else.
