In Houston recently a woman who was behind in her work and fearing getting fired started a fire in her office as a diversion. The building burned and one or two people were killed . Imagine this - her lawyers are trying to blame the deaths on a perceived slow response by the Fire Department !! Another case the judge out to throw out on its face as BS .
Another woman was driving a stolen truck with some others and when cornered by cops , she rammed a police car and sped away . In the chase she crashed into another car and a child was killed . Now her lawyers are blaming the Houston Police Department chase policy for the death . Opponents want the cops to NOT chase , and to NOT confront criminals . Just let them go .
They get worse than that. Not only with frivalous lawsuits, but hte fact that the jails are overflowing with drug related crimes, there's less and less room and money for real criminals. And with so many people lobbying for prisoners rights...it's disgusting. There should be no TV, weight rooms, etc, in prison....none. Most criminals do not care if they go to jail because it's better living than they have on the outside. Our justice system needs a serious overhaul, the appeals process is a ******* joke. "Your honor, my client killed seventeen people ten years ago, but he is all better now" and the sad part is, they CAN get out!!! **** that, you kill someone, just shorten 25-life, to simply life, period. No chance of parole...EVER. Why should a murderer even have the hope of parole, when the person they murdered is dead?
Then you have instances such as the guy in Cleveland that killed some kid that was trying to rob him at gun point
Link here. The kid that got killeds family is bitching about the shooter going free. You dumb bitch, your stupid cousin robbed someone at gun point and got his dumbass shot, what do you expect? People in this countries moral compasses are ALL fucked up.
