If a plumber comes to my house with Game Over tattooed on his eyelids then his employer would be hearing from me. What kind of ratchet business would send a guy like that to work at someone's home or business. Now I have no problem with tattoos but come on. His eyelids would be screaming to me and saying "YES I AM A CONVICTED FELON AND I WILL BE WORKING IN YOUR HOME; SO HIDE YOUR GOODS".
We really shouldn't be questioning this out of respect for the employer, but there are work programs for felons and tax breaks for businesses that participate. I don't know if this business was one of them or not, but the bottom line is once a felon serves his time, he is absolved and has the right to try rebuilding his life, which means a chance at employment. I am certain I have had any number of felons work on my house, but it isn't my place to worry about them or judge them as long as they do good work. WH happens to be a totally loose cannon that has not been in an effective rehab program long enough. The failure is with the environment he grew up in that got him on that path, and then the institutions that are supposed to turn him around.
