Police have kept a watchful eye on Jerry Wayne Alexander Jr. for years. Alexander, 41, has 30 convictions in Hamilton County ranging from theft to attempted first-degree murder. In 1996, he shot at police with an assault rifle during a traffic stop. Last year, he fought police, choking one officer, according to court records.

This man is indicative of what is wrong with the "system". Thirty convictions & he is still on the streets.

Shooting at anyone, but especially cops, should have put this thug behind bars for 100 years; & frankly, I would have had him executed after the FIRST violent crime conviction. But no, this man is out on our streets.

But you see, our system is "of the lawyers, by the lawyers, for the lawyers". Lawyers can't make money off thugs in jail or in graves. The thugs need to be on the streets causing chaos, so that lawyers will have lots of cases to prosecute & defend, thereby making them rich.

The vast majority of lawmakers are lawyers. That is why we have 20,000 word murder statutes, which doesn't so much describe the crimes & punishments, but rather spends way too much verbiage making the laws overly complex, & therefore easier to manipulate the system to free the guilty. Free criminals means more crimes, yielding more cases & fees for lawyers.

Virtually all judges are lawyers. To ensure job security, it is in the best interest of the entire court system to grant lenient sentences to keep the revolving door spinning & the system ever expanding. It is common to hear courts asking for more money, more judges & staff. Rarely do we hear the courts seeking ways to get violent criminals off the streets permanently.

How is it that we have the phrase "career criminal"? Doesn't that say more about the system than the criminal? Who's careers are really being built?

Folks, look at the photos above. This is catch & release. It is a game being played by criminal justice system for their enrichment, empowerment, & amusement. It has little to do with protecting the public.

In a system based on protecting the public, Jerry Wayne Alexander would have been executed long before his assault on police in '96. His presence on our streets today serves only to enrich our legal profession & increase the police state.

Thirty convictions & he is still alive

Dead men commit no crimes

Good point.
