We need lock down mental hospitals again. Provide them care but under the same supervision as a maximum security prison. 75% of the homeless are mentally ill and have been put back on the streets again and again. Time for society to safely house and treat them, and society will be safer for it. If we can afford to give billions in foreign aid and for benefits for those who just immigrated here, we have an obligation to care for our own.
100% agreed
Judges keep letting these repeat offenders out… blame them
Hmmm "random act of violence" no name given for the suspect. I'm curious if this is another criminal that's been arrested dozens of times and released on failed promises.
I think it’s time this soft shit is over …. JAIL time for law breakers on EVERY level!
EXACTLY!!!!!!!
