I remember someone saying something about freedom or security...Those are all good questions. But being easy on crime kills innocents, too.
Example: Kate Steinle, a 32 year-old woman, was walking along Pier 14 in San Francisco, when she was killed by a felon who had stolen a gun from a federal ranger's truck. That felon was also an illegal alien who had previously been deported from the USA 5 times. Big ending: San Francisco set him free. Yup, he's wandering the streets of the USA right now. Democratic policies, keeping you in peril!
There are a million stories like Kate. What about Ibrahim Bouaichi, who raped a woman, then was released on bond, and he went and murdered the woman he had previously raped. Happy ending: as police were closing in on him about a month ago, he killed himself.
So I'll ask you your own question: how many innocents do you want killed, raped, beaten, robbed, etc, because we're being too easy on crime?
And yes, the noble answer is to say it's better that 1000 criminals go free than 1 innocent be convicted. Totally get it. Like I said, I'm working to get there someday, but I ain't there yet.
