“predators will keep doing it if nobody stops them.”
That will happen when people either 1) start carrying, be trained, and a lot of the bastards are sent six fee under, or 2) people see the folly of arguing for “Defund the Police” and beg for more police presence, or 3) the nefarious cohort among us sees the error of their ways.
It seems that #3 will never happen.
#2 is happening in San Francisco. The idiot Hillary “Defund the Police” Ronen San Francisco supervisor is now BEGGING for more police in her district. She voted to defund the police in 2020.
#1 is gaining traction.
Time for an automatic 20 - 50 years in jail with no parole until after 25 years, for this type of crime. No bail; only jail!!!
