The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The men who committed these heinous crimes against women and children should never have been allowed remission. The fact that these criminals were released from prison and received a hero's welcome at home shows a callous disregard for women. The rule of the law must prevail, and the rapists must be returned to prison.

Independent

Establishment-critical narrative

While the crimes committed by the convicts were undeniably awful, they have served their time. The rapists had been released because of their age and their good behavior, not because they were innocent. After 14 years in prison, these men have been reformed, and it's time to move forward. Ordering them back to prison serves no one.
