I'm deliberately keeping those examples out of my statement because those are touchier. Murdered people? That depends on circumstance. Wantonly raping children, nah, but if it's a "peeing in a bush at night 1000yds from school" type conviction I don't care.

It's weird for me, because there was a time when my only friends were murderers. To say that murderers are some of the nicest people I've ever met, on the whole, is a rather bizarre statement.

If I was locked up again and had the choice who to hang with, it would be murderers all the way.

I'm still in contact with many of them on a day-to-day basis.

That depends on what the job is, isn’t it? If it would give them more access to children that would be cause for concern.

Same way about bank robbery. Previous bank robbery would give me a much bigger pause if we work on bank security or adjecent fields for example.

Why would that be a cause for concern?

I think they mean the likelihood of a person committing a crime for a second time is higher when they have already committed it once.

They might pee in a bush again?

Oops, i misread the word. I read it as “peeping” as in they were caught trying to see children as they dress or undress. But yeah reading the word correctly now what I wrote doesn’t make much sense.

As they say, it takes a thief to catch a thief. Who would be able to protect the bank better than a former bank robber?
