I was just watching the news last night about the arrests of two individuals who, between them, had previously been arrested and released 56 times and had not shown up for court dates. One of them was apprehended about 45 minutes before the other, and when the cops were bringing in the second guy, the first one was sitting on the steps outside, having already been released... again.
Jails have become revolving doors, but crime is up. Judges have become so liberal and sentences have become so light that the old, old saying that crime doesn't pay is no longer true. Homes, vehicles and businesses are burglarized over and over again by transients and vagrants and the cops shrug their collective shoulders and say they can't do anything about it; they don't have the time or the money.
So, we citizens are just going to have to put up with it? There's nothing we can do about it? It's against the law for us to do anything about it?
Well, it's also against the law for California to be a sanctuary state. It's against Federal law to smoke, sell or possess pot, but states have passed laws making it "legal" and no one cares. So, don''t we citizens have an equal right to ignore the law?
What is really to prevent us from chasing these hoodlums down and beating the crap out of them... or worse?
