As the article says, these are near adults who have committed first degree murder of a particularly heinous kind. Not little toddlers who made innocent mistakes.
I think that, if this law goes through, Jerry Brown should be compelled to have a tent city in his back yard to house these released criminals.
In fact, I’ve always thought that those who release violent criminals of this kind should put their money where their mouths are by taking in the criminals they release on society. Let them take the risks.
The article said it all-the supporters of this bill are “emotional” that it passed-the emotion they’re feeling is their own smug sense of moral superiority and self “esteem” for being such good people.
Some poor schlub will have to be the one who bears the real consequences of this. As you say, no one, especially California, puts juveniles away with life without parole for vandalism or even carjacking. Whatever they’re there for had to be an especially heinous murder. Monsters like that will do it again, they have no empathy for others.
“..if this law goes through, Jerry Brown should be compelled to have a tent city in his back yard to house these released criminals.”
The gov’s signature indicates it has become law, having reached his desk after passing the state legislature.
I like your thinking. It really frosts me that big hearted pols will introduce/pass/sign legislation that never affects them or those they care about in their own lives, only Joe Schmo out there. And, where are these released perps going to live? In the inner cities, wreaking even more havoc.
