REGARDING:
“so instead he becomes like this guy above if u want to fix society give a felon who commits non violent acts a clean slate after 5 years of being a good citizens with no more felonies this would give the offender something to work on being good for.”

Let’s try it this way:
This gentleman is a poor example of what you would like to do to “fix society.” His original felony charges in 2009 included at least two violent felonies and there have been several since that one.
“11/04/2009
“COURT FINDS DEFENDANT INCOMPETENT TO PROCEED DUE TO MENTAL ILLNES. DEFENDANT TO RECEIVE COMPETENCY TRAINING “ (which he received)
Not mentally competent to understand what he was doing was wrong??

Which led them to drop the aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and attempted robbery with a weapon charges, but over the years he was convicted for other violent felonies — even while already in jail.

Further, you don’t “fix society” by hiding the truth from the citizens.
People have a right to know if there are predators around them, even if they aren’t always violent predators like this one has been.

As people know, Laws are only obeyed by Law Abiding Citizens. We need a change in the Laws pertaining to Firearms and their use by Criminals. Florida’s 10-20-Life Law is not enough. We need to insure the Criminals stay behind bars when they use a Firearm in the commission of a crime. If a Firearm is used in a Violent Crime, minimum of 20 Years with NO Parole. If fired, in the commission of a crime, 25 to Life with No Parole. If you kill someone, and it is not Self Defense or Stand Your Ground, Life with No Parole or Death. I think the statistics show that about 80% or so of released Felons will commit another crime, and normally more violent. Put Sheriff Joe, from Arizona, in charge of the Nations Prison Systems and make the Prison mean…”PRISON”…not a Country Club. If the ACLU and others can not stop Sheriff Joe’s Tent Jails, then we need them everywhere! Past time to stop treating Prisoners like Guest and treat them like CRIMINALS! They don’t treat their Victims as well as they are treated in JAIL!

Wow I’ve never heard of anything like this I wonder if they knew each other? Most homeinvasons are not so kind to just let it end like this.

What happen is the person gets a felonie and is never really allowed back in to society therefore having no hope that he could never come back from his wrong doing and no matter what he does.he can never again be a valued part of society so instead he becomes like this guy above if u want to fix society give a felon who commits non violent acts a clean slate after 5 years of being a good citizens with no more felonies this would give the offender something to work on being good for. Just saying

You got it Bob, bring back the death penalty for MORE crimes, don’t let them have 10-15 years to file crap, give em a year or 2 max, by then if their guilty take them out back and hang them. Simple as that, used to have hanging trees at the courthouse for just that, time to bring em back.

Bob’s brother,

criminals break the law. They wouldn’t be criminals otherwise. Laws, by definition, are only obeyed by law abiding people. This is why the bumper sticker reminds us
IF GUNS ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE GUNS
because those who obeyed the law would be disarmed
and those who did not disarm would be breaking the law, be outlaws
and those who were already breaking the laws wouldn’t mind breaking a few more for the right reward, say some cool shoes, money, ladies’ compliance.

Fishook,
to take away all convicted person’s rights would require throwing away the Bill of Rights. This would be far worse than the current situation.

Besides, maybe the jail will blow up on him or his new associates will be VERY friendly to him and he will forget about his former wicked ways and repent lest he return.

In the years that the law regarding possession of firearms by convicted felons has been in effect, I’ve witnessed hundreds of violations of this simple law. Perhaps a 20 year sentence is too light. What if the penalty were Death? Would that deter the felon? Maybe, maybe not, but this citizen is sick and tired of criminals thumbing their noses at the law.

When I was young, I was taught right from wrong by my Parents. And God forbid you did anything wrong to publicly embarrass them. There wrath would be way worse than the law could ever impose.

Its simple my friends and its a breakdown of our society. We have thug parents raising thug kids that have never been taught right from wrong.
If you don’t have it and someone else does, take it from those who do have. They feel entitled to take instead of work for it.

For now, we are somewhat protected by the second amendment and can defend our personal property, but have to question how long that will last.

Not too many years ago folks killed people that took what they worked for or were hung from a tree. Now even a heinous crime as this one will be another slap on the wrist . Sadly we can’t open our door to a stranger in need of help anymore.
