Typical poorly written and edited news story. But it details just incredible laxness in the criminal justice system.

The East Baton Rouge District Attorney’s Office said Myles is a career criminal who was out on parole and had outstanding warrants when he kidnapped his nephew and went on his shooting spree.

He has been arrested 29 times and convicted 11 times, including some charges for violent crimes, The Advocate reported.

Myles was wanted for setting a house on fire in July, nearby the home on Osceola where he opened fire in October.

He was arrested on drug and weapons charges in 2017 after he went to a church founded by his recently-deceased mother “in a rage of terror” and threatened to shoot his brother-in-law and others, The Advocate reported.

Online court records showed Myles was convicted of attempted murder in 2005 after he tried to kill 11 people over a fight with a girlfriend.

He was arrested after the police standoff on Oct. 16 and charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon, felon in possession of a firearm, and home invasion, according to The Advocate.

Myles was also charged with kidnapping, according to WVUE.

He is being held without bond.

The people who let this monster out are also quite evil. Nothing justifies it.

“He is being held without bond”

A little late for that!! This monster shouldn’t have been out on the streets with his record.

Tie him up in the sun.

I’d like to know about the kidnapping. They call lots of things kidnapping these days. Maybe even when a minor goes off willingly with an adult. Lots of movement and chaos. Kids know how to exploit those to get away.

A civilized society will not tolerate animals like these, nor will they keep them alive so the can do more damage. The legal system in America is a failure for allowing people like this person to live; they have no conscience, no mortality, and no soul.

Yeah, but the Democrats want you to know, had he been arrested 30 times and convicted 12 times, they would have done something.

In the meanwhile, they’d like to have him vote and for Joe Biden.

I just can't help wondering how Officer Hutchinson (the father of the murdered two-year-old) will be able to continue functioning as a Law Enforcement Officer.

Specifically: How will he be able to continue interacting with the public (including encounters with "uncooperative" persons from the same milieu as the murderer of his son) in a fair and impartial manner?

Poor man...

Regards,

This murderer should not have been allowed outside a prison or mental hospital. Theories or purposes of enforcing laws include public safety, criminal rehabilitation and victim retribution and societal justice. Liberals focus primarily on rehabilitation. Conservatives focus mostly on public safety. But both sides also need to focus on retribution.

Victims and society at large need to feel they have been heard and their anger understood and condoned. When the justice system ignores this anger by stringing out proceedings, not charging or undercharging, by releasing criminals on technicalities, and by ignoring reasonable sentences or letting the criminal go free sooner than expected, a vital pressure release fails. Doing justice is a basic function of government if it intends to channel and control its citizen’s righteous anger. Failing to do justice means the pressure continues to build until the society explodes in an orgy of violence. The US is getting dangerously close to that point.

Hey we gotta have the criminal community vote. More victims, more crime, but more votes. You can’t have both.
