When murder suspects are let out on bail, there's not much hope for pretrial detention. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/27/makiyah-murder-trial-marquel-cobbs-arrested/ |
Surprised Allen hasn’t put out a press release sending out his concerns for the perpetrator. |
I can’t believe they let the guy who killed a 10 year old girl out on bail. This is a bad dude who rolls up on a residential block on a summer evening and sprays the crowd with 70 bullets. |
I don't read it as excusing the violence. I read it as a counter to all the people who lust after blaming every crime that takes place on Charles Allen or the Council at large. |
hmm well this guy’s original felony was forced prostitution. given that CA et al recently wanted to legalize prostitution, it would have been much harder to convict him originally. also want to take bets on whether CA would support civil detention of mentally ill violent inmates after the completement of their sentences? |
| The real crime numbers have been so skewed and suppressed, it takes a high profile individual for the danger of so many neighborhoods to get noticed. |
You do know there is a difference between "prostitution' and "forced prostitution?" |
| So why did the pimp stab this guy? None of this makes any sense |
because the drugs that he obtained while incarcerated were of the type that dominate the trade now —- with additives that permanently change the brain into a state resembling schizophrenia. The product coming up from Mexico is cut with unlabeled additives that promote paranoia. See for example, 92% of the people living in tents throughout DC, and other major cities. And yes, he certainly would’ve been supplied drugs while in prison. A former DC pimp is going to maintain connections inside |
Criminals gonna crim |
Maybe he preferred three meals a day and a roof over his head? |
What I know is that decriminalizing “voluntary” prostitution would make it much harder to prosecute pimps and would increase the prevalence of forced prostitution. |
Come on man, once someone is released from prison, can't they go I dunno, more than 24 hours before attempting to murder someone? Let's be honest here, NO amount of support would help this criminal after being released. Some people just have to accept the fact that there is a certain fraction of humans that exist on this planet who have truly evil souls beyond redemption and salvation. Literal human peices of gutter trash. They deserve no space in civilized society, ever. |
Don’t worry though - the 1/6ers aren’t out to hold government accountable so you’re safe!! |
Agreed that this is terrifying. And some fraction of people can't be redeemed. But that fraction can be reduced through proper support - though I know it's damn hard to figure out what that means. But throwing away the key for everyone who might commit a future crime isn't feasible either. And remember that the US already imprisons way more people than in other countries.
