I don't know why they're down-voting you. I'm at least concerned that someone with that kind of past has anything to do with building such sensitive and influential law enforcement infrastructure. I don't know what his current state of mind is and I believe in second chances but this kind of history should disqualify you from at least some types of sensitive roles.

What exactly do you think a second chance is?

Probationary.

He should be afforded some basic right to contribute to society - like managing a restaurant, or something. It is not appropriate for a former Neo-Nazi to receive state surveillance contracts. It is not appropriate for a former Neo-Nazi to be able to work with any kind of sensible data. Even if completely rehabilitated, their origins are - to my mind - treacherous.

Damn right I'm sensitive about Neo-Nazis gaining power and authority.

A second chance doesn't have to be perfect, it might just mean you can survive. How many people have gone to prison for much lesser crimes, like marijuana possession, and then become a millionaire? Not many, most just work shit jobs to survive. He was lucky, but doesn't have any right to his second chance.

A second chance doesn't mean a clean slate to do anything. You probably wouldn't put a convicted pedophile in a daycare, second chance or no.
