“You think this juvenile [expletive] is gonna do some [expletive]? I’ll be out in 30 days, I’ll bet you. It’s just ah, [expletive] ah, hit-and-run — slap on the wrist.” [More]
“…a lengthy criminal history in the juvenile system”…?
I wonder how many others Democrat catch-and-release policies have emboldened this way…

That’s literally the First Amendment this she-Nazi tried to deploy the SS against.
When I saw this last week my first thought was to do a FOIA and make her go on record– under penalty of perjury — to provide records of all the “complaints” she says she received.
Looking at Washington’s Public Records law, it looks like they need to be inspected in person, which is a showstopper for me– but not for anyone there interested in picking up the ball and running with it.

According to witnesses, 39-year-old Larry Lawrence, who was a store employee, was in the process of placing groceries in the rear seat of a vehicle, where a dog was located. He then began to pet the dog. While occupied with the dog, a .22 rifle, also located in the rear seat of the vehicle, discharged and struck Lawrence in the chest, officials with the police department said. [More]
Who’s the damn moron?

Suspected killer Kevin Mason, 28, was mistakenly released from the Marion County Jail two days after he was arrested. The sheriff’s office was tight-lipped about it until about a week after he was accidently set free on Sept. 13. “Without speaking to the specifics of this case, I don’t know why you would wait for so long to tell the public, unless there’s a very good investigative reason,” said Dr. Bryce Peterson, an adjunct professor at John Jay College who studies data relating to escaped inmates.

“The Hoedspruit Farmwatch volunteers blocked the roads outside of Hoedspruit with boulders after they were alerted of the attack. A skirmish, lasting about 20 minutes, ensued at one of the blockades between the robbers and the farmers, who were armed with pistols. The farmers managed to kill 4 of the robbers and wound 3. No farmer was hurt. The other suspects fled into nearby bushes after the shootout on foot.” [More]

For every life “saved”–and let’s be clear, almost all of the people “saved” were criminals who were engaging in life-threatening crimes–15 people died who would not have if BLM hadn’t destroyed our policing system. That’s quite an exchange rate. For every life saved by reducing policing 15 extra people were murdered by a non-police criminal. Most of these people were not engaged in activity that was threatening the lives of others. [More]
I’m not sure I’m buying the correlation/causation assumption since police don’t arrive until after the fact.
I’m sure there’s an effect, I just have no idea how you’d reliably quantify it. Or am I overthinking it?
