This kind of attitude enables this kind of environment where these kind of crimes can happen.

It should be as safe as place as you would like it if you were locked up for something you didn't do. Also the probability of it happening--the violent crime--if it does happen--would probably be by someone who committed a worse crime.

8. Whatever the sentence is, it isn't enough.

11. He's a terrorist..
