Direct experience with the justice system and access to actual data concerning criminal cases is pretty good. You'll probably say I'm making stuff up regardless, but here are a few fun examples of felons ruining shit in the past year or so:
One guy finished his second prison stint after being convicted of his fifth felony. Served his time, immediately went back to gang activity, got busted during a drug deal, ran from the police and slammed his car into an innocent woman, killing her and getting himself caught. Now he gets free shelter, healthcare, food and education if he decides that his 3rd stint in prison and killing a woman was enough. Hell, everyone deserves a 4th chance, right?
Oh, here's one that happened a few months ago: Homeless woman with 8 felony convictions lights a fire in an alley behind a home to keep warm. She loses control of the fire and ends up burning down the home. So an entire family loses their home and everything they own. Homeless women will likely do five years or less in prison, but I won't know the result for another six months or so because despite her confession to burning down the home, it will still take that long to actually prosecute her. Good thing we're being compassionate and taking care of her, we need more people like her around!
This one happened today: Homeless guy with a 25+ year criminal record, 138 arrests, and six felony convictions was caught making pipe bombs in the parking lot of a local grocery store. He was fortunately caught before being able to detonate them somewhere where he could hurt people, but I get to sleep soundly tonight knowing that paragons of justice and morality are out there fighting to make sure that this man stays alive and well and will get the chance again to victimize innocent people!
Burden of proof is on your to prove any of these actually happened. Also 3 examples isn't a majority. ---
