That's a bit of a straw man. 1) I don't think that, 2) I never said they were defenseless. Clearly they are capable of defending themselves.

My entire point is that people, all people, outside of obvious outliers like people who commit extreme violence, are capable of changing their behavior for the better and should have the opportunity for a second chance, and since socially there really isn't one, I understand why they take these measures.
