So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can’t fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male workforce he does work with several women who have no idea what he is. He literally followed a woman home, broke into her house, and raped her. Him working here puts every female employee at risk. How is that not an unsafe working environment? How is it at even legal to employ him anywhere where he will have contact with women?
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.
