That "man", the murderous multiple convicted felon, was really no more than an animal. A somewhat less than human primate, lagging somewhere between us and the great apes on the evolutionary scale. They fool us, in that they can walk upright and more or less "speak", but I'll guarantee his I.Q. was somewhere in the 80's if not the 70's. He could neither read nor write, had never finished grade school much less even high school, but had been passed along by a school system more afraid of how they look as a result of his failures than they were concerned for his education and well being. He had no idea who his father was, he had multiple siblings all from different fathers, his mother is also illiterate and unemployable, living on welfare her entire life. He surrounded himself with like minded thugs whose only measures of one another are those of the animal kingdom, all rooted in violence and conquest. Whoever is the toughest, whoever kills the most, fks the most, lashes out the most violently rules their society. Like any other band of primates in the wild.

So, yeah, why was he out? Why was he not smearing bananas on the inside of a glass pen for the rest of his life? Because some bleeding heart, hand wringing ninnies actually believe he can change. And they only believe that because they believe he was "just like the rest of us". He was not. He was never going to be. Anyone who believes an animal like him ever had any hope of being "rehabilitated", of joining normal society, is hopelessly delusional. He had his chances. 40 of them, between charges, pending charges, and felony convictions. How many had he killed, murders that will forever go unsolved? How many had he assaulted, and had never been charged?

Enough is enough. Our revolving door criminal justice system that celebrates these animals' rights over ours has to change.

Jeff, the "not like us" deal is absolutely true, and it begins to appear at a very early age. Anyone that spends a decent amount of time working in an urban middle school setting learns to spot the true "animals" with ease, and let me tell you, almost nothing is done about it except to shuffle them along, as you noted. I don't know what the answer is, but the steady and persistent softening of how we deal with the genuine beasts among us, including the budding beasts, is not working.

It is difficult to put an exact number on it, but for each year that I worked in Dallas ISD, out of an average of 100 students per year on my roster, at least five of them (sometimes more), per year, I could basically guarantee would grow to become thieves, murders and sexual predators - no joke.

I just hope NOBODY suggests that we start holding the parents accountable as these young citizens matriculate their way through the educational system and society at large. I mean the parent(s) are victims too, right? Can we REALLY expect them to take a proactive role to set a good example, nip poor and/or anti-social behavior in the bud and shield them from poisonous media? That sounds like it would consume a lot of their time, virtually every day. It's just much better for them to let the "professionals" in the school and law enforcement agencies figure it out. I personally would cringe at the idea of a parent standing before a judge while they are given punishment along side their felonious 12 year old.

^^that's in green if it isn't obvious.
