At least he is disinfected.

Hopefully, once he has recovered, they will consider him for parole again ???

Maybe the parole board members should take him to their house for rehabilitation instead of dumping him in our back yard.

That needle he had, did he really trade it at the needle exchange? They should implicate the needle exchange for supplying the needle in connection with this robbery. Kinda like the guy selling you a gun, knowing you were kinda looney. They could probably get away with that connection on Law & Order, I betcha!
