But despite his many brushes with the law, Joseph P. Smith never spent long behind bars.
If we'd only shown MORE compassion towards Mr. Smith, or Joey as I call him, none of this would have ever happened. Somehow, society is to blame.

Well I am sure that Jesse Jackson, Mike Farrell and crew will head on down to Florida to show their "compassion" for "Joey" Smith now that they have been granted a stay in Mr. Cooper's case (California). I still find it hard to comprehend how these actors, et al have all this passion and compassion for people who commit such horrible acts upon another human being but have no sympathy whatsoever for the millions of babies aborted. They never seem to have any feelings for the victims...

Well in a sense society IS to blame. Florida -- and many other states -- have made it clear to habitual criminals that they will not suffer any serious punishment for habitual crime, and voters haven't ousted the politicians and judges who built and maintain the idiotic system. Mr. Smith may well be so mentally ill that he can't control himself, and society would have done both him and itself a big favor by permanently caging him a long time ago.
