Police deaths give reason to toughen parole policies.”
Parole policies in Kalifornia are a joke.
Then everyone has an opinion about how all ‘prisoners’ should be treated- health services-exercize equipment-big screen color TV- alot of amenities that the average WORKING Americans do NOT have.
WE pay the taxes that support the prisons, and the judges, defense lawyers, and parole boards are making a mockery of the entire justice system. Do the crime—do all the time.
Too many prisoners choose to only mark time, and not learn any skills or get an education behind bars. They are not separated from their ‘homies’ in their gangs, and behind bars, they actually run drug businesses with the telephone calls they are allowed.
Miss dotting an ‘i’ or crossing a ‘t’, and the VERY GUILTY perp walks free, and they only get more street creds with their pals for having beaten the system.
Meanwhile- their array of children are on welfare of all kinds along with the baby mama, and the circle jerk continues.
There is absolutely NO accountability at any level.
The killer in Oakland had just been connected to a rape of a few hours earlier. He was also a suspect in a 2007 murder. He had a long rap sheet, with lots of violent crimes. He obviously was not interested in changing his life style. He walked back and put a bullet in each of the 2 cops heads, then fled to his sister’s apartment.
For his female family member to get face time on the TV saying ‘he wasn’t a monster’ tells me waaaaay too much.
These animals don’t even know what a monster this killer really was, and they continue to not only defend him, but to spend the rest of their lives trying to get a lawsuit payoff from the city or county. They also will continue to refuse to be a witness in any crime in their community. A shootout at high noon in full daylight with 100 witnesses, and ‘no one sees nuthin’ or hears nuthin’.
Oakland is a cesspool, but not the only cesspool that this country has created and nurtured in the last 40+++ years with all kinds of welfare.
While that may be true, it is not the problem. We need to resist the temptation to make conviction easier. There is little to indicate that convicting career criminals is a problem. They typically have many serious convictions on their records already.
The problem is that the "punishment" is insufficient to reduce the opportunity for career criminals to commit more crimes. The "three-strikes" law is exactly what we need to solve the problem. Parole is simply the means that muddle-headed liberals use to inflict the perpetrations of career criminals on the innocent.
In one of the early cases of applying three-strikes, a career criminal was charged with the strong-arm robbery of several children when he stoled the pizza they were eating at a pizza parlor. The hand-wringers were upset that we should imprison someone for stealing food. They simply could not grasp that having such an undisciplined criminal in our midst was a danger to everyone.
