Just read about a real winner in my local paper..
33yo persistent felony offender picked up for attempted murder of his gf by strangulation, and putting a gun to a witnesses head.
This guy has been arrested 16 times since 2008. Many assaults, burglary, guns, etc.He has assaulted his woman twice in the last 5 years, before trying to kill her this time.
Persistent felony offender. Shouldn't one of those felonies be enough to put him behind bars say for at least 5 years? Noooo, let's arrest him 16 times over 10 years. Lmao. Paper said he's looking at up to 10, could be 20 to life. I'll guess he won't do 10, maybe 5 this time.
Wtf kind of sense does that make. You should not have the opportunity to persistently commit felonies. The phrase "persistent felony offender" is a joke.
Oh, and the last case he had involved assault and felony gun possession. DISMISSED! Because the cop who arrested him no longer works for the city (bc we can't pay em) so he didn't come to court. :/ WHAT is that loophole. Oh well lucky you, that policeman doesn't work here anymore, so we'll pretend this didn't happen.
Get these clowns arrested, get the proceedings finished in a timely manner and punish them for serious crimes. Our system is jacked up.
