Thank you. That leads me to bring this discussion one step further. This system is obviously broken. Parents of victimized children have been protesting repeat offenders release from prison and lack of monitoring for years. (This case proves it is ineffective by its own merits).
So now on to the real meat and potatoes. What can we, as everyday citizens, do to reform the system as it is now? How can we raise enough awareness and protest to change how monitoring is done right now? What would incite our legislature/leaders to do the right thing? Protests, letter writing campaigns, news media blasts with information that is discovered on these and other forums, victims and their families putting themselves in the public eye, email campaigns, truth in sentencing laws, revoking the possibility of parole for any violent crime? Where do we start?
They are all good questions, and I think that people like the Smart family and JC's family can do much to change some things. And sit on some committees that will make a difference.
Unfortunately the LE is very flawed and you can not say they don't get paid enough with the nice pensions they get, great perks, days off and more.
Our government is corrupt, and it trickles all the way down.
Sad is the fact that most of our politicians should also be questioned every month, we may find that there is reason why they allow LE to get away with what they get away with. (one hand washes the other)
Sad is the fact that Mo money, Mo money, Mo money is this nations Motto.
Sad is the fact that often times some sit in jail for 15 years and are then released as innocent.
Sad is the fact that some like PG get out, and should not.
Sad is the fact that even judges are often enough on the wrong side, or not awake.
Sad is the fact that we are in the information age and at a click of a computer button they can get all the information they need and they dont.
I have no answers only frustration.
