… and justice for all.”

“The 34-year-old suspect has a criminal record including larceny and breaking and entering charges. He also spent five years in prison for robbery with a dangerous weapon”

He’s a criminal and should’ve been in prison where he couldn’t murder people. This is common sense not rocket science.

I wonder whether during your education you were required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. You might remember the final words are “… and justice for all.”, not “… and justice for a chosen few”.

My understanding is that he had previous charges. That he was convicted, sentenced, and served his time. I have not seen any information that he received treatment for any mental illness while he was in jail, only that his condition was significantly worse upon release.

Are you suggesting that he ought to have been sentenced to life imprisonment for that offence?

Maybe you are suggesting a dystopia in which people, including you, ought to be imprisoned for crimes they have not yet committed.

This case involves an apparently mentally ill Black man and a young, attractive, blonde, White woman.

I wonder how much media attention and crocodile tears would be attracted if the victim had been a Haitian refugee and the offender had been a multiple killer like Ethan Couch (of affluenza “defence” fame) who walks the streets like a free man.
