If the article says what it appears to say, the police had actually referred this man to the prosecutor's office only twice out of the times that they'd arrested him, and he'd been charged and convicted both times, so in this particular case it seems to have been the police who weren't doing their job rather than the judges, for some weird reason.
Apparently the dude got convicted every time he was put before the court (only twice), police didn't charge him the other 6 apparently. No information on the sentencing he received, so can't make any reasoned opinion on that.
Maybe doesn't apply to this specific case, but there are plenty of stories about violent criminals who have been in front of a judge 5+ times and are out walking free within days.
There are stories about everything: violent criminals getting out with a slap on the wrist, people getting the book thrown at them for nothing, people's rights being violated, etc. We can't bring feelings into the situation, we have to look at the actual information before us. As is, there's not enough here for us to say except he's a repeat offender that escalated. But even that isn't very good, because no clue on any mental issues or things like that.
Just hope the lady gets better soon, it's awful what happened to her.
In the video you can hear a member of the public telling ems that he escalated today and usually just hits people with his hands. I think it’s safe to assume people were not holding this man accountable if some random on the street knows this man and his history of violence.
I don't disagree that he's either a bad person, or someone needing substantive medical/mental assistance. Accountability looks very different for both of those.
Saw the video. The guy was such a menace all the police in that area knew him and weren't surprised. Seems like certain folks care more about the criminals then the victims when it comes to sentencing and punishment.
This is what happens in a country that lets crime go unpunished from the top down. When Congress and the White House are filled with criminals the rest of the country will follow suit. When the rich and powerful are immune, law and order deteriorates for everyone.
We have one of the highest prison populations in the world, per-capita. And yet we still have so much crime. This isn't an issue of needing harsher punishments, many of the safest countries don't dole out excessive sentences - they tackle the roots of crime, such as poverty.
But the rest of your comment I 100% agree with. When people see politicians getting away with crime after crime, what faith should they have in the rule of law?
if you read the article you’d see we have a repeat offender where in the city of seattle the aforementioned lax laws against the homeless, have allowed, a repeat offender continue his violent attacks against, let’s see, an old white lady.
Ok so laws against homeless people have nothing to do with this guy being a repeat offender of violent attacks. What you meant is laws that do not adequately punish violent criminals, allowing them to become repeat offenders.
Don't see why you want to condemn homeless people, when this guy would probably be a repeat offender whether homeless or not.
i assure you if our assailant had a house, he’d be have been arrested for this after his first assault. it’s because he’s homeless he’s able to get away with this.
But its liberal judges letting the criminals back on the street? What does congress have to do with it? They are not part of the judicial branch of government. I know we had a pedophile president joe biden tweeking little girls nipples on live television numerous times but is that to blame for all the crime?
Convict them all. Who gives a fuck what political party they are. If they’re a criminal, corrupt or pedophiles remove them in office and throw them in prison.
Do you post this stuff just to distract the comment section with petty fights? Are you a bot?
R u a bot? Yes conviction them all. Just weird all the pedo warriors co.e out for trump but didn't give a shit about Biden and his pedo shit on full display.
It’s kindve like since the country is trying and actively destroying the mental health care systems while simultaneously getting rid of mental health facilities… will lead to people with mental illness being mentally unstable and inappropriate for jail being left on the streets for US to deal with AND THEY GET ON DRUGS exasperating the mental illness… Who . Woulda. Thought .
Are we doing the dems are soft on crime shit? Republicans seem too incompetent to prosecute crimes. Look what they’ve done to the DOJ. Look how they completely bungled their highest profile cases like Comey and Letitia James. Now imagine all the fuck ups we don’t know about in lower profile cases. And that’s the best people they have at the federal level. No way I want the lesser competent ones at the state or municipal level. It’s a joke.
Ok but reds on the whole try to jail people like this and not let them out 14 times to go on to stab little white girls on public transport because of their skin colour.
Both parties may suck but one is by and large far worse than Republicans.
This sub has been brigaded by bots and loonies. I remember how excited this sub was to get rid of Biden and howit was so great to hear Trump talk about all these issues we were banned from reddit for talking about in the Biden administration.
Now all these same things we used to discuss here are instantly dismissed or down voted to oblivion. Can't wait until reddit is finally nuked for being the shithole left mouthpiece it is
A 50 something year old lady was stabbed and killed in Barnes and Noble today or yesterday by a homeless guy in Palm Beach. Out of control mental illness
No. The taxpayers should NOT be funding this. She needs to be able to sue the police department, every attorney who has ever defended this dickhead, and the judge who somehow let the guy be free.
it's one of the tentacles of their over arching "order out chaos". in the 50's the State began a Deinstitutionalization policy that ultimately closed 80% of psychiatric hospitals. the affects have contributed to destabilizing society, increase crime, reduce public empathy for ppl suffering from mental health issues & contribute to justification for police state policies
We can’t really expect the crime issue to resolve itself and the way it currently is being handled is obviously unsustainable financially or societally. Prison reform needs to happen first 1000% because the way that our system works not only creates repeat offenders but even if you do your time you’re STILL punished even after you get out to an extent that oftentimes doesn’t fit the crime. We also need to address the many reasons, even outside of legitimate mental health reasons, that crime, but especially repeat crime occurs. We also have to ask ourselves if our current systems are sustainable and even if they are, if they’re worth it to keep at the end of the day if those same systems are the ones creating the criminals in the first place in the overwhelming majority of cases.
What happened to this woman was a tragedy but given the way this article frames the situation, it sounds to me like the situation was 100% preventable. The reason why I say it was likely preventable is because, apart from the person who did this also being a minority, there’s no reason to bring up the stabbing of the Ukrainian girl earlier this year unless the person who did this attack was also mentally ill and they just chose to withhold that information in favor of race baiting, which given the source as well as the general circumstances, seems reasonable because nobody in their right might goes around doing the things he’s done. Stabbing someone 8 times alone should have been enough to keep him locked away in some capacity for quite some time if not for life, be it in a mental hospital if he’s genuinely mentally ill, or prison if he’s not.
You can’t just look at someone like this guy and think locking him away is solving the problem though, and if you can then we have two very radically different ideas of how we would want to be treated, both metaphorically and literally, if we were mentally ill and did something that we “normally” wouldn’t do, such as if we were medicated properly. I’ve seen the effects of gentrification first hand in communities I’ve lived in previously, and I’ve both seen and experienced the effects of poverty practically all of my life and I can say with 100% assurance that these things are beyond people’s control and that they breed crime that affects all echelons of society.
Until these issues are not only addressed, but resolved, if they ever truly can be, we will only ever be fighting a never ending war against things that, largely, can be prevented by treating people as as the flawed beings that we all are. This doesn’t mean freedom from consequences or that prisons shouldn’t exist, they absolutely should because there will always be criminals regardless of how much is done to prevent crime in a humane way while still punishing those who won’t change, but doesn’t it make more sense to ensure that people actually do have proper access to things like a quality education for free, access to healthcare without it compromising their finances in any way, access to food and beverages regardless of ability to work, or housing which is an issue for almost everyone nowadays, or even the privilege to work only one job a reasonable amount of hours a week to afford all of these basic things and all the other necessities that a human needs? Statistically it’s proven that once artificially scarce needs are met, because these things truly are all artificially scarce in this day and age, crime significantly drops and there’s no reason to expect it wouldn’t if there were to be large scale changes towards a more humane drive vs profit driven society but everyone wants to keep fellating our current systems like they’re paid to instead of questioning why we’re being told to hate each other instead of our circumstances which could be improved if rich fucking assholes weren’t trying to systemically murder all of us.
You're completely right about America needing serious prison reform, and pretty much every statistic shows it. What's even more insane are private prisons skewing incentives even more. Unfortunately, people would rather blame "liberal judges" for what is a far larger systemic failure.
It’s the same thing as the immigration issue, which is sadly relevant due to race baiting. People complaining about illegal immigrants need to educate themselves on the immigration process because I can just about guarantee the average American wouldn’t be able to get residency here, much less citizenship because they’re neither educated enough nor wealthy enough to be fast tracked for either, and would spend years applying and being denied over and over again if they didn’t have the damn good fortune to be born where they were. Illegal immigration issue a symptom of a failing system and every “rational” argument (arguments that aren’t OVERTLY grounded in racism) against making immigration less prohibitive, such as lack of housing being an issue already, adding additional strain to healthcare systems, food prices, etc. are all misplaced blame on the part of the ignorant or stupid because they’re all symptomatic of how broken our underlying foundational systems are and how perversely they’ve been exploited by the elites to turn the 99% against each other.
This same story will be shared and spread, used to fear monger on both sides for different reasons, and nothing will change. If anything, it’ll get worse, the rhetoric on social media will escalate, and eventually someone will commit an act of heinous violence because of it. As long as the general sentiment in the comments is “[the right / the left] is the problem!” we’ll never tackle sophisticated economic policies as a tax paying public. The real conspiracy is how many bots are actively influencing sentiment on social media platforms such as this one. I encourage you to talk to people. Your friends, your family, your neighbors, even if you think you disagree on everything. The person who annoys you the most has the most to teach you about yourself and your opinions. I think the reality is far from the picture painted on social media. If we can just come to terms with some basic agreements, we can all live out the American dream together. Enough with the jaded misanthropy. Ennui will not be our end. Boredom is counterrevolutionary.

Many of these states are letting criminals out too soft and too soon. Not tough enough on crime.
We need prison reform as well though. It shouldn’t be a lucrative business.
And judges freeing these people should be held accountable
If the article says what it appears to say, the police had actually referred this man to the prosecutor's office only twice out of the times that they'd arrested him, and he'd been charged and convicted both times, so in this particular case it seems to have been the police who weren't doing their job rather than the judges, for some weird reason.
They should be held accountable then
A conservative not backing the blue, that is a shock lol
Edit: That's literally been conservatives shtick for over a decade now lol. Downvoters just salty 🤣
I back the blue. But when some douchebag in blue does something stupid, they should be held accountable too
So you've been a supporter of the BLM protests, previous and any ongoing?
Ur brain is cooked dude
How so?
That’s pretty standard for SPD.
How’s that fatigue America?
I’m tired boss
The judges who are using their position to be activists need to be held accountable.
Apparently the dude got convicted every time he was put before the court (only twice), police didn't charge him the other 6 apparently. No information on the sentencing he received, so can't make any reasoned opinion on that.
Police don't charge people, procecuters do.
Lol wat? Police lay a charge (laying an information, or by ticketing someone) and then prosecutors prosecute those charges.
Nope. Prosecutors charge people.
What do you think happens during the lead up to when a prosecutor "charges" people?
A lot of police work happens.
Lol well, you're not wrong.
Maybe doesn't apply to this specific case, but there are plenty of stories about violent criminals who have been in front of a judge 5+ times and are out walking free within days.

Edit: Police commented he usually punches
It was the officer wearing the bodycam who was saying that to the paramedic on screen m at the times, not a member of the public.
Thank you for the correction
I don't disagree that he's either a bad person, or someone needing substantive medical/mental assistance. Accountability looks very different for both of those.

Yes sir criminals on the top of us criminals at the bottom of us and we're caught in the middle.
clowns to the left of me
jokers to the right
It sounds really messed up when you put it that way but it's true.
I've always suspected the leaders of street gangs have connections in high places going back to the 90s
Couldn't agree more

But the rest of your comment I 100% agree with. When people see politicians getting away with crime after crime, what faith should they have in the rule of law?
And then they use these randoms acts of violence as an excuse to enable a complete control grid, aka Minority Report
bro blame the city of seattle and their lax homeless laws that allow these cooks to wander the streets lol.
Accurate. Can confirm. Check the user name.
What does a "lax homeless" law entail? Jailing people for the audacity of not being able to afford a place to stay?
if you read the article you’d see we have a repeat offender where in the city of seattle the aforementioned lax laws against the homeless, have allowed, a repeat offender continue his violent attacks against, let’s see, an old white lady.

That's not only a lie, it's a disgusting lie.
For real though

Pro-crime judges and DA’s belong in CECOT.
Why is this in the conspiracy sub?
Its baiting, the same way every other attack gets shoved in here

Yes

Take this tired shit to the conservative sub.
Yea both parties suck. It’s not red vs blue, it’s them vs us. Fighting over which party is worse really hasn’t done anything for the people.
