Prison should prevent a criminal from continuing to victimize the general public. When that fails, restrictions on the prisoner should be increased until it does.

In this man's case, he should probably be forbidden from ever owning the copyright to anything again. Anything he utters with his own mouth should go straight into the public domain. That would put an end to this horse shit from him.




It sounds like we need to point out to you yet again that Paul Hansmeier is not in jail for victimizing the public. He's in jail for lying to a judge. The legal system approves of his behavior toward the public.

Given that he has never victimized the public, worry about whether he "continues to victimize the public" is obviously misplaced.
