How come activist Judges can legislate from the bench when it suites their agenda but when it comes to crimes such as this they are forced to honor maximum sentencing laws?
Murder, Inc. (or Murder Incorporated) was the name the press gave to groups in the 1930s through the 1940s that acted as the “enforcement arm” of the American Mafia. Murder, Inc. was responsible for between 400 and 1,000 contract killings.
Though this organization worked for organized crime, there is no reason in the world that it might not live again, but this time to carry out acts of revenge and vengeance when the courts have failed to properly punish violent criminals.
Even in the last few weeks, there has been several examples of grotesque miscarriages of justice. This 18-month sentence for homicide is just another. Other examples:
“A Yellowstone County district judge Monday ordered a former Senior High teacher convicted of raping a 14-year-old female student who later committed suicide to spend 30 days in jail. Judge G. Todd Baugh sentenced Stacey Dean Rambold to 15 years in prison, with all but 31 days suspended, for sexual intercourse without consent.”
“In Rhode Island, 18-year-old Josh Maciorski was convicted of having sex with a 13-year-old girl, but sentenced to probation. Two years later he molested a 14-year-old girl and served just one year. Then, when he got out, Maciorski raped a 16-year-old girl. His sentence after this third strike - an unbelievable three years in prison.”
“In Missouri, 19-year old Darrell Jackson pleaded guilty to repeatedly sexually abusing a little girl, beginning when she was just eight. But when Jackson came up for sentencing, a soft judge gave him four months in prison and five years probation.”
“In Minnesota, Joseph Duncan stood in front of a judge, accused of molesting a young boy. Despite the fact that Duncan had previously served 16 years for raping another young boy at gunpoint, the judge released him on just $15,000 bail. Duncan promptly skipped bail and headed for Idaho, where he allegedly kidnapped, raped, and killed a 9-year old boy, molested his sister, and killed their family.”
If judges keep doing things like this, the almost inevitable result will be “contract vigilantism”, not just some upset person trying to hire some low life to kill a villain; but an organization whose purpose is to seek out those whose victimizers have escaped with little or no punishment, and with or without their permission to execute vile criminals.
If done discreetly and professionally, this occupation might well be like that of an insect exterminator, wiping out the cockroaches that infest a home.
****.. sentenced a 16-year-old to 18 months of confinement for the killing of a 51-year-old man. ****
As I told some people over thirty years ago, after a similar case in which some white teens murdered a Navajo, sit back, wait till they are released, then one day they just disappear.
The desert is a BIG place.
funny how that works....activist judges can rule on your life in every possible way yet try to get a little justice for one dead man, not a chance....
