Then why the fuck wasn’t he in prison??

There are so many nonviolent, drug-related offenders jammed in to our jails and prisons, as well as for minor probation violations like failed drug screens or missing appointments, but this pos dangerous guy was out amongst the public.

It’s maddening.

I saw a Frontline a few years ago about prison reform and a man had the best quote: “We need to decide who we are mad at and who we are afraid of.”
