I'm not an expert on anything. I'm not even particularly bright as most of you can attest from my postings here. But I think I can see a trend in why we have such a high crime rate here in America. In Washington State the policy seems to be, "Well, he's only killed a couple of dozen people so far, so let's let him back out into the community and see what happens." For crying out loud, the tax payers of this state are paying for the room and board, food, and medical care for the Gary Ridgeway, Green River Killer, for the rest of his life. I'd much rather pay for the hangman.
Just the other day, we had a murder in Bellevue, and the suspect is one of the guys who beat up a man a few years ago, who subsequently died from his injuries. The "Tube Man" was a great guy who used to play the tuba and entertain people on the street at games and other places, well-liked and a great memebr of our local "street community". These young thugs, all juveniles, beat him up, for no reason other than they thought it was fun. They all got wrist slaps and are now back in the populace committing more crimes. Below is only a partial list of some of the things these "fine young men" have done while they have been out being allowed to "turn their lives around". Fxxxing liberal jackasses that allow this to happen are much more to blame for crime than gun manufacturers.
This guy is suspected to have committed the following crimes:
Having a pistol at age 19
Having a pistol in a bar
Being in a bar under age 21
Shooting and killing a man
He will probably not be charged with anything other than the shooting and then likely only with 2nd degree manslaughter, instead of 1st degree murder which it should be. IF convicted (unlikely, and we will probably only spend 8 or 10 million dollars to conduct a bogus trial) he'll go to the big house, spend a few years learning bigger and better ways to commit violent crimes, and be back on the streets, again with an
illegal gun. Welcome to liberal America, where every criminal is a good kid, just misunderstood, who is in the process of turning his life around. Gimme a break.
And, the mayor of Seattle wants to pass an ordnance making it ILLEGAL for me to carry my LEGALLY CONCEALED pistol on city property, busses, parks, etc., which is exactly where these "fine young men" hang out. Good thing I no longer live in that fine liberal city.
