I see that Rick is on the thread and says he's not a psychopath, and I have no reason to doubt him.

However: anyone who thinks "rehabilitation" is the answer for all felons is full of it ([1], [2]). If they are actually psychopaths, therapy is just finishing school for them. It teaches them how to fake normal human emotions better. It gives them a better vocabulary for fooling therapists.

You need someone like Mr. Anon who can spot these con artists and see through their BS.
