[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have to read more, but it doesn't sound like either of them had a truly violent past. Criminal, felonious, but no mention of violence. Do you propose  we lock up all non violent offenders forever?

Did it occur to you that maybe it was prison that turned them violent? It seems like a big jump from auto theft to murder, no?

Maybe they would have gotten their on their own, but we can't keep people in jail forever because they MIGHT someday turn to violent crime.[/quote]

I don’t know.... these two guys sound fairly violent to me.  At least one of them is also a gang member.

More comments from the police chief:

[quote]"Clearly, they don't think we're serious. Clearly, they don't think there's a consequence to their actions. And to be quite honest, we're showing them that there's not. If we're not going to keep you in jail because you choose to use a gun — then what are we doing?"[/quote]
