Is this right? A person deemed mentally ill and dangerous to others... don't those that will be at this persons mercy deserve to know? Is that persons privacy really more important than the possibility of those around him/her being in danger?

Sex offenders have to register and go through 9 yards of crap when getting a job or home. Why don't "dangerous" people?
