The Washington DC Police Chief just had a news conference. He is mad at the Court System – releasing repeat violent offenders, the shooters, with no consequences. He guaranteed that when they catch a shooter, the shooter is known to the Police. Until there are consequences and the violent evil actors are taken out of society, they will continue to harm others I will bet odds when and if they catch the shooters they to will be well known to the Police and have been released by the Courts
Punishment that don’t hurt don’t work .
We need to follow the judges and prosecutors sentencing . Get rid of the liberals .
I strongly support the death penality.
You have a cancer you cut it out you don’t let it fester .
Isn’t it strange since we took God and prayer out of schools how our Nation has changed ?
Justice is supposed to be blind, but thanks to Democrat talking points she peeks out from under her blindfold and lets some people off without consequences based on their status as a protected class in society. Is anyone really shocked that people who get a free pass for crimes will keep committing crimes?
