All over America this is a common theme:
Upon calling law enforcement, Shelton learned there was little police could do.
That stupid cliche “take the law into his own hands” is ahead of “he’s going to prison for a long, long time” in my pet peeve cliche list.
The system of pseudo justice allows the guilty to go free or get out of prison quickly.
After the defense gets the judge to not allow the jurors to hear the recorded incriminating speech, or hear testimony before being properly Mirandized, or learn the offender did the same crime the same way several times in the past including as detailed in sealed juvenile records, the guilty offender smirks and goes free, plotting to get the witnesses and to find fresh new victims among us.
There is no revenue in it for them, so they don't give a damn. If there was a way for them to make some money out of the deal, they'd be right on it.
Cops are useless wastes of taxpayer money.
