I suppose a felon is a felon, but, the guy that got a felony conviction for stealing cable TV and was prosecuted by some DA that wanted to make a name for himself is one heck of a lot different than a murder, rapist, child molester, etc.
True, but that guy is not likely to be a repeat offender. If you pay attention when they report of a violent crime. Almost with out fail, esp if its murder.
That person has multiple felonies and usually multiple violent crimes on their rap sheet. And is WELL known to law enforcement and in most cases now days the mental health system.
What that shows me is that its not a problem of laws. We have enough.
We have had more than enough opportunities to stop these people before hand.
Its a problem with how we implement the laws and policies we already have.
Of course, Fixing it would not be easy, cheap or fun. Much easier to blame a gun and move on.
One way to do it. Let them out if you want. But you to have to sign off on them Make some one accountable for their actions if they let them out before the term is served. I mean they are letting them out now and NO ONE is accountable for it.
If you really think about it. Thats the responsible party. Its the people letting them out and washing their hands of the whole affair.
Here is a thought experiment for ya. lets say we have a criminal and he has a psychological issue that compels him to only break into Lawyers homes.
how many times do you think he would be let out of prison???
Now you know the answer.
They will sue the heck out of the Bar that serves a criminal some drinks and then kills some one. But the person responsible for putting them back out here with us. Ahhh we dont want to talk about that.
