We all know the cost of someone breaking the law. That is not the issue. The question is what is the cost of the legal system not enforcing the law? In the current climate, some people have the belief that the criminal justice system is not working well for the perpetrators. Thus, they should be released without bail and with no consequences.
We have all read stories of someone with a long history of criminal/violent activity attacking a person innocently going about their day and either severely harming that person or killing them.
You certainly remember the woman who had left war torn Ukraine to move to the United States and settled in Charlotte NC. She got on a light rail transit in late August, sat down, and was stabbed to death with zero provocation by a deranged career criminal sitting behind her. Mr. Brown, who is referred to as a “suspect” despite being filmed committing the act, had been arrested 14 times just in the county in which he committed this crime. He is finally being held in prison charged with murder.
The most recent incident of great note happened in Chicago on November 17th. The details of the story are in an excellent piece by Byron York. Byron York: The Road to the Chicago Train Fire Attack | The Patriot Post
Again, a person with a long history of criminal activity struck against an unknowing citizen.
The perpetrator previously tried to burn down a government building in Chicago. He already had seven convictions for felonies and eleven for misdemeanors. While awaiting trial he was roaming the streets and randomly punched two women in the face. If we cannot protect women (or anyone) while walking the streets in their communities it is clear we have failed as a society. That was five years ago.
Flash forward five years and in a wing of a psychiatric hospital he slapped a female worker so hard she had severe damage to her face causing her to be taken to the emergency room. He went to court now having eight felony convictions. You think another beaten female would influence the judge, Teresa Molina-Gonzalez, to keep this criminal away from other humans and behind bars. Nope, not good enough. The perpetrator was released with an ankle monitor.
The result? The pyromaniac struck again. This time he somehow got on a Chicago L train with a red gas canister (yes, Mayor Johnson, you are also responsible here). He then doused a 26-year-old female (notice the pattern) with fuel and set her on fire. She will be dealing with the effects of her injuries for years to come.
Concurrently with this, I was reading a book on the history of the Federal Reserve (to provide some diversion from long biographies I am also reading). I then picked up a novel by David Balducci which is a one-off for him (he has other books in series) about people living in wartime London. Strangers in Time tells the story of how three people meld together to form a family to survive the bombs and lack of normal living – such as having provisions.
One of those three was a teenage girl named Molly. She was sent to the countryside in 1939 to protect her from the day-to-day ravages of war. In 1944 she returned home to find her house still standing, a nanny tending it, and her parents were not anywhere to be found.
Molly comes to find out that her mother was raped while in one of the bomb shelters, she had been directed to go to near their home. She was now in a sanitarium dealing with the aftermath of a gang rape.
Molly’s father, a proper member of English society, was supposedly working on behalf of the war effort. It turns out he was not. After working his way up the channels, he could not get the government to prosecute the three soldiers who had brutalized his wife. He was told they were needed to fight the Germans.
Her father took justice into his own hands and erased those three from this world to get proper retribution for losing his wife who was no longer functioning because of their brutal illegal act.
I am aware this is fiction, but it is not for most husbands and fathers. The acts of those people in Charlotte or Chicago happen regularly today. So-called “judges” let career criminals out to commit additional crimes of violence, often against unprotected females. The judges would all tell you they are “feminists” when they are not and they should not be wearing a judge’s robe because they are clueless.
We need to rectify this current trend that allows career criminals to be released without bail and then not sentencing them to long stays behind bars. The longer we have judges like Molina-Gonzalez allowing career criminals out to attack more innocent females, we will see more fathers and husband taking actions like Molly’s father and administering proper justice on their own.
You better believe if one of these deviants did anything to my wife or daughter and the justice system did not properly handle them; I would find a way.
