We may finally be staggering to the finish line on the issue of crazy in America. That would be nice. It is long overdue and while I am sorry to see it come back it must. The public really cannot tolerate a class of victimizer that can literally get away with murder running around untouched simply because they don't have the mental abilities to know right from wrong. People like that must be locked away. That whole thing is, after all, the very point and purpose to organized society.
Seeing killers turned loose again and again to kill again is wrong at every level and the idea is that a judge can order this to happen and it is then up to some cop to take the defendant out of the cell, away from the jail and then drop this time bomb off somewhere and somehow all this happens with complete immunity for everyone involved.
No I don't really think that anyone would find this in the ranked priorities that one sees lists of things expected from government and legislation. I don't think it makes the list because people are simply led to believe that this sort of thing is, of course, impossible. And yet you see it happen every single day if you live in a metropolis larger than 100,000 people.
We are not allowed to protect ourselves from them and they in turn must be protected from predation by others like them or somebody has to go to jail. Do you see the problem with that?
This falls within the sphere once defined as the basics we expect out of government, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It's hard to get that if an urban underclass is allowed to destroy your world and simply walk away because they just don't get it. This is where the art of balance comes in and for way to long the balance has been set to favor the rights of the killers and destroyers.
That's what has to change.
