In America today, millions of churchgoers are not allowed to practice their faith in their place of worship and certain business owners are not allowed to welcome customers, but hardened criminals are being released from prison. This insanity is producing predictably deadly results.
Under the guise of protecting prisoners from the spread of Covid-19, large numbers of dangerous criminals are being freed from custody. This is creating a horrific situation that is endangering the public and has now led to the death of a witness in a rape case.
In Alexandria, Virginia, rape suspect Ibrahim E. Bouaichi was released from prison in April because of concerns that he would contract Covid-19. Even though Bouaichi was indicted on serious charges such as rape, sodomy, abduction, strangulation and burglary, former presiding Circuit Court Judge Nolan Dawkins ordered his release on a $25,000 bond.
Despite the warnings from prosecutors that Bouaichi was a danger to the community, Dawkins released him to home confinement. This was an incredibly unwise decision because he was a danger to not only the community at large, but also to an especially vulnerable individual, Karla Elizabeth Dominguez Gonzalez, who accused him of rape last December and testified against him.
Sadly, on July 29, Ms. Dominguez was found shot to death. Local law enforcement authorities identified Bouaichi as her murderer. This week, he was spotted by police, a chase ensued leading to a car crash. Bouaichi shot himself before he could be apprehended by police. He is currently in critical condition in the hospital.
None of this tragedy needed to happen. If Bouaichi would have been kept in prison, where he belonged, his accuser would still be alive, and taxpayers would not be paying for the medical care of a murder suspect in critical condition.
This disturbing trend of releasing prisoners and endangering the public has been going on all over the country since the beginning of this pandemic. Liberals are using the fear of Covid-19 to accomplish their goal of emptying the prisons.
There has been an undue concern for the health of prisoners during this pandemic. In fact, the priority should not be the health of prisoners, but the safety of the public.
It is extraordinarily reckless to release hardened criminals from prison, regardless of the spread of Covid-19. Our nation’s public health officials are constantly recommending masks as a way for the American people to stay safe. Thus, prison officials should distribute masks to all inmates, keep them socially distant whenever possible and liberally provide hand sanitizers. If this strategy works for the law-abiding public, it should work for prisoners as well.
Instead, menacing criminals like Bouaichi are being released and innocent people like Ms. Dominguez are being killed. The authorities involved in this tragedy, such as Judge Dawkins, have blood on their hands.
In the past few months, thousands of criminals have been discharged from prison, needlessly endangering the public at large. It is one of the reasons that crime has been increasing in America recently.
For example, in mid-March, Joseph Williams was one of 150 inmates released from prison in Hillsborough County, Florida because there was worry that inmates would become infected with Covid-19. Several days later, local sheriff deputies arrested Williams for his involvement in a homicide that took place one day after his release from prison. He was charged with second degree murder. According to Chad Chronister, the Sheriff of Hillsborough County, “There is no question Joseph Williams took advantage of this health emergency to commit crimes while he was out of jail.”
In April, a convicted child molester, Rudy William Grajeda Magdaleno, was released from prison in Orange County California. The reason for the release was concerns relating to the Covid-19 pandemic. Not surprisingly, just two weeks later, Magdaleno was arrested again after exposing himself to others at a parole resource center.
By the end of August, California will release 8,000 inmates from incarceration to lessen the spread of Covid-19 within their prison facilities. Supposedly, prison officials are releasing only those offenders who are non-violent or near the end of their sentence. Unfortunately, it seems these criteria are being expanded at the expense of public safety.
In July, California prison officials released Tereba Williams, who still had 64 years left on her sentence. She was convicted of murdering Kevin Ruska in 2001. In this gruesome case, Williams held Ruska at gunpoint, forced him into a car trunk, shot him, drove him 750 miles away, tied him up and left him to die in a motel room in the state of Washington. He was dead before he was eventually found.
Her release was not well received by Mr. Ruska’s family. His cousin, Karri Phillips, said that “It’s appalling to me everything that’s been allowed to happen. I don’t think for one second she’s going to walk out there a changed person, she’s not.” Unfortunately, all of Mr. Ruska’s family now must worry about this irresponsible release. Since she was convicted of murder, Williams should not have been released under any circumstances.
Along with the push toward mail-in ballots, shutting down the schools and the economy and the non-stop health warnings, another consequence of the over-reaction to Covid-19 has been the incredibly reckless release of violent criminals from prison. It has put the public at unnecessary risk while besmirching the memory of innocent victims and injuring their family members once again. To say the least, our country’s priorities are completely out of order.
It is an excuse, however, to clear the prisons to make room for political prisoners, and to free recruits for the Reformed Police Forces of Democrat cities.
Of course they need to empty the prisons.
How else can ‘they’ keep up the unrest etc.
Order ALL to wear masks then put people who are in prison for activities that USED to require masks.
Wouldn’t be surprised if some ‘ambulance chasing shark’ hasn’t used that for a defense...
Also, by clearing the prisons and local lockups, it gives them a place to put people who won’t wear a mask or join the growing list of sheeple who won’t respond to any and all commands, no matter how screwed up.
Pavlov must be smiling.
I like the cartoon that asked if masks are so good etc why not just issue them to the convicts and keep them separated - like the expect US to do?
All these states DEMANDING people be quarantined because coming from a ‘hot state’....
New York doing that is really a show of pompousness and hypocrisy and wasn’t it NY that screamed when FL said they were going to cut back on allowing ‘newbies’?
Follow the MONEY....
Also, PDJT should be issuing EOs ORDERING all to wear masks, hunker down - just a composite of what all these ‘tinpot despot govs/mayors’ are demanding.
It will only be hours before the LEFT defies Trump and demands NO to any of it saying it is unconstitutional..
Then PDJT can just coyly laugh, quietly discard the EO and we can go about our business.
Let ‘them’ crow about their ‘victory’ and don’t mention it.
COVID-19 is no reason to do any of what we’ve been forced to do.
All the idiots acted like it was the end of the world and chided Trump into actin g like he has acted.
Trump should have acted more quickly on the liberal war drums that started beating out COVID panic from the very first beat.
The liberals have tried to shut down the world and release all the criminals in a feel good vote getting maneuver against the conservative trump base.
Trump needs to keep driving this entire thing home until the cows are here with us.
Payroll tax cuts for those who work.
SHAME for those who can and dont.
I havethe said it from the beginning.
The only reason they are letting hardened criminals out of prison is to make room for troublemakers like you and me.
I’ve always said,
“ I want a Top Bunk!”
.
We Agree.
No, COVID-19 in no reason to empty prisons. But this is an election year, and prisoners have families who vote.
Its an excuse to release vermin on society and add to the mayhem and anarchy we see in the streets. The plan that is financially supported by soros and his many activist organizations is a complete collapse of American society leaving a clean slate for him and his puppet democrats to rule
The voting booth does not offer this remedy.
Citizens need some other tool to find appropriate justice for every elected official who releases dangerous, violent and vengeful prisoners back into society.
And to use a fading viral pandemic as the reason, in August when deaths and infections rates are becoming statistically insignificant, and when there are proven meds that help patients survive???
Evil! Evil that needs to be prosecuted to the fullest ... and NOT released back into society until time is served!
The unspoken reason for both emptying the prisons and defunding the police is that democrat run cities are bankrupt. They were bankrupt before covid, and they are even more bankrupt now.
If these damn masks actually work as advertised, then why not give them to these prisoners?
Nope, it isn’t.
It has been 100% political from the very beginning.
Dr Fascist was using this virus to research “gain of function”, he was ordered to stop the research by those who knew there was no same reason for such research. Dr Fascist sent the virus and millions of dollars to the same Chinese military bio-weapons lab in Wuhan where this monster was released from.
Dr Fascist said in 2017 that President Trump was going to face a “surprise outbreak” the world has never seen while in office. Now why would Dr Fascist make such a comment? Did he open a fortune cookie? Did he use a Ouija board? Did he hear it from Pythia? Or maybe it was a simple Freudian slip because he’s actually a major player in the whole plandemic?
China in collusion with the democrats are using this virus as a means to get rid of President Trump.
