Typical arrogant liberal judge. He can rot in hell, too.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

There needs to be a recall started.

[Savage Beast]

Of course this is emotionally charged. It should be. But judges, parole board members, or whoever releases dangerous criminals to prey on the public should be held accountable.

[alisasny]

Liberals are reacting with horror on this one too, something good may come of this.

We in the meantime have to get out the message how liberal judges are ruining the juidical system and its not about them being proabortion.

I heard a radio interview with this piece of worthless liberal trash yesterday evening. He was whining about "not being able to sleep" since the child was found dead. May he never sleep again.

Probably not the real liberals who would like to see Smith rehabilitaded once again and released --- if he were to be given the death penalty, the real liberals would be anguished.

This is what motivated the '3 strikes and you're out' law in California. The people decided that they are a higher authority than any individual judge. If it's good enough to put away a pizza thief for 25-life, it certainly would have kept this loser locked up.

I used to be one of the people who had some slight doubts about the fairness of the 3-strikes laws. Not anymore. My doubts are gone. If some minor losers end up "unjustly" serving a life sentence, that's too friggin' bad. I want the losers to tremble in fear every day of their worthless loser lives.

For the rest of my life, I will vote for 3-strikes laws --- and the people who support them --- whenever I get the chance. And I will do so with enthusiasm.

Just a little perspective on the numbers of children killed by predators, compared to automobile accidents, "as seen on tv", it is thousands of times more, and just as horrifying and brutal, although it is more than likely less personal.We are witnessing the emotionally charged reaction to one uncontrolled addicted sleezeball, who probably should not have been on the street, and probably not in jail either although that would have kept him off the street.

Children and adults have, are and will suffer at the hands of predators, and stupid stupid drivers, and wouldn't we say on the average that most stupid stupid drivers inflicting harm on children, just might be the parents of those same children, Hmmmm? Except of course when the "accident" is not the fault of one of the drivers, although it takes two to tangle.

My point is not to be flamed, but to point out that if there is a focus, it certainly ought to be on the more dangerous and prolific manners of death to children. Drowning is also way above kidnap murder. The emotional reaction is for the parents, and democrats. I have not trouble focusing righteous indignation on liberal judges, always keeping in mind that we as humans liberal or otherwise are far from perfect, and need to practise moderation in our outrage lest we become as those we so love to skewer with their weakness.

No comment.

Your post is a good example of why someone came up with the phrase "Comparing Apples to Oranges".

IMO there ought to be two strikes and out for anyone who has two violent felonies.

other high proifile recent cases--

Dru Sjodin, the murderer was convicted of three prior rapes, one an abduction, why was he out?

David Maust recently found with three teenagers buried in his basement, had killed two kids and stabbed another prior, why was he out?

Its the same story over and over again. Career criminals who should be behind bars forver being let out again and again to destroy innocent lives.

Carlie's blood is on Judge Rapkin's hands.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Is there a picture of this "judge?"

[laredo44]

"If I thought that not signing a warrant caused this girl's death, I'd quit," Rapkin said. "I couldn't live with myself. But that didn't happen. I did my job."

Judge Harry is a liar because, as we all know, liberals never give up power voluntarily.

re: Carlie's blood is on Judge Rapkin's hands.)))

Ah, the cruelties come home to roost at least once in a while.

Great point! And we know Florida is full of liberal judges. They definitely need a 3 strikes law. At least this POS's term is up this year. He'll not be re-elected if he runs and if there really was true justice in this world, he'd serve time as an accomplice to the killer.

God bless Carlie's family. It's unbearable enough to lose their child. The anger they must feel with this judge only adds to their heartbroken misery.

[Jim Noble]

Florida law requires prosecutors to get a grand jury indictment for a first-degree murder charge.

I thought it was the Fifth Amendment.
