Funny how that story is from a british paper. The american media is a joke. Cnn will have the latest completely humorless anti trump SNL sketch on the front page but no mention of something like this
Very true. The American news media declines coverage of black attacks on whites while overemphasizing attacks on blacks especially by police.
Illinois is #13 in terms of average cost per prisoner per year, not including pension benefits.
Governor has pledged to reduce the revolving door prison population by 25% by 2025.
The only way to reduce that cost is to make the prisons similar to what you see in 3rd world nations. Scary. And something else. People who smoked a joint shouldn't be in prison. True criminals should be there. That would reduce the prison population.
If he's been in and out of prison much of his adult life, something tells me this prison stint won't do anything.
There's a pattern here. Probation for an armed robbery in 2009. Committed 2 armed robberies while on probation and resentenced to 6 years. Convicted of another theft crime in 2014 and sentenced to 2 years.
Sounds like he was recently released and on probation.
Incarceration is a revolving door according to Chicago PD.
Public executions wouldn't have scared him. When you expect to die an early death, you don't value life and don't care about anyone else. Live and die by the sword. Young, angry, and lacking any care for anyone, not even one's self.
Only because the dead can't do that again. The question is this. Will it scare other thugs straight? That is the goal. Keep others from doing this again.
I thought about this. The USA has the highest murder rate of the developed, industrialized nations. The USA also executes people. One of 4 in the industrialized world currently doing so. We execute more than anyone else in the industrialized world. And yet, stuff like this happens.
