[quote=Anonymous]This story sort of captures both the tragedy of lowering criminal penalties and the state of DC crime right now. This man was advocating for lowering penalties for crime -- and he died a convicted felon who had served his time and was turning his life around but was driving around with a gun (which he was not allowed to legally possess). Shot and killed by someone who also had a (likely illegal) gun over road rage incident. Tragic. But NOT an argument for lowering criminal penalties, especially given recidivism rates: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/11/19/criminal-justice-advocate-killed-dc/ [/quote]
