I mean... I'm just learning about this situation but it seems like the dude has done a 180 for the better.

Nava apologized to his victims at parole hearings where he said he was 'deeply ashamed' of what he did. 

He also keeps a letter of apology at home that he wrote to her but did not mail. 

It reads: 'I want to say I’m sorry for trying to murder you on Sept. 29, 2012. … You should never have had to experience being shot, and I thank God you survived. 

'Though I can never fully atone for my actions, I will spend the rest of my life trying.'

He still belongs in prison and not a cushy government job. Idk if it's just me, but gang murderers aren't the people I want running the government

feel free to display your alleged superiority to someone who cares

You've repeatedly demonstrated neither interest nor ability to contribute in good faith.
