[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for reading up, though Im disappointed in your side stepping the point I made vis Allens judgment. The convicted individual was up for clemency and Charles Allen scolded the judge for taking the originating charge, aiding and abetting a violent home invasion child rape, into consideration when reviewing the clemency appeal. That is the point I made. If Charles Allen and you dont believe sexually violent crimes against children in Washington, DC should be considered when weighing clemency considerations, then in my books, you are rape friendly. In the age of #metoo, I cant believe Charles Allen gets away with this sexual violence victim-hostile stance.[/quote]

I generally agree that individuals who have served 37 years for crimes committed when they were 17 should be given consideration for sentence reductions if they can demonstrate rehabilitation. According to this report:

https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/tssp16.pdf

The median time served for rape is 4.2 years. I think rape friendly is a description better used for those satisfied with 4.2 years rather than those who believe 171 is extreme.

A violent home invasion, parent raped, attention then turned to child while parent helplessly looked on. Charles Allen took time from his day to write a letter to the judge to chastise him/her for considering the facts around the original conviction when weighing clemency. In the case in India where the University student was raped on the bus and eventually died from her injuries,  her perpetrators were also youthful. When the ones who werent sentenced to death come up for clemency should only their prison record be considered? Honestly, I have no words for how victims of violent and sadistic sexual violence are treated in this country.[/quote]

If the crime, including car theft, keeps ticking up, folks with means will either leave or leave no doubt when threatened, especially in the home. This is always the cycle that takes place.[/quote]

Agree. Or end up living in house fortresses with ADT signage bristling all about. What Charles Allen and his ilk dont understand is its not pearl clutching to enjoy city living where you can walk without mace and  fear in your heart, and people treat each 9ther kindly. Id like to see more of his idead on prevention and reform but he seems to just offer a LOT of excuses. [/quote]
