"You can't have law and punishment geared to fear of whether you might make a mistake in sentencing."

Actually, that is what our legal system IS based on. I don't remember who said it, but "Better a hundred guilty men go free than one innocent man go to jail".

But don't get me wrong -- I'm not saying that I'm HAPPY with the current system. I am open to any suggestions to try and plug the gaps in our system. But I am NOT for the "put them in jail and throw away the key" solution.

Also, in my opinion, getting hit with a motorcycle is a MINOR violent offense whereas getting shot is a MAJOR violent offense.

Just my opinion .....

Yes there are a few people that do a violent crime out of nowhere. So what? But ask any cop and he will tell you that most violent criminals are repeat offenders and will continue on until locked away.

My problem with the justice system is that these thugs are repeatedly released to do it again.

Wait 'til you or your family is a victim, God forbid, and you will be happy to pay more taxes for prisons.
