Have you ever noticed the outrage at a crime committed by a parolee is often greater than if the same crime was perpetrated by a first time offender?
That's because even though the crime itself is just as outrageous, there is additional anger because of the sense that those who are supposed to be enforcing the law didn't do a good job, and allowed the parolee to run loose and commit the crime.
You see the same dynamic of compounded outrage when an illegal alien commits a crime.

Huh, Mr. Johnson was sentenced to 6 years(per link in reply #76 of this thread) for a previous violent crime, and none of the usual noe pro-Berlin wall posters are on that thread basically spinning their heads with poltical rhetoric.
Oh that's correct his name is Johnson, nevermind.

Good point. I made the same point in my post #202 and referred to the Willie Horton ad and the outrage felt by people when learning of his crimes when he should have been behind bars.
Of course, Dane's fellow travelers in the Rat party and the MSM, all point to Horton's race as a reason not use the example and call the Republicans racists and bigots, just like Dane and his compatriots do on this thread.
