'While liberals focus every crime discussion on criminal justice reform and 'mass incarceration,' criminals emboldened by a lack of serious consequences for years of crime have become more violent and brazen,' ZacharyFaria writes.
The latest example of this comes from Hermann, Missouri, where news broke early Monday morning that a shooting left one police officer dead and another wounded. Sure enough, the man who allegedly shot at officers was identified as Kenneth Lee Simpson, who has a criminal history stretching back to 2004.His crimes grew more violent and brazen as the years went on after facing vehicle tampering charges in 2004.
Simpson was very clearly given one too many chances about four chances ago. He caught eight criminal charges over a seven-year stretch from 2016 to 2021 before he decided to go on the run. He was somehow given only a $5,000 bond in 2019 after his felony assault charge. And now, one police officer is dead, and another was put in the hospital.— MSHP Troop F March 13, 2023 Hermann Police Sgt.
While liberals focus every crime discussion on criminal justice reform and “mass incarceration,” criminals emboldened by a lack of serious consequences for years of crime have become more violent and brazen. The police officers we entrust to protect and serve communities are now facing the results alongside the residents being terrorized by these criminals. That is where our crime discussions should remain focused.
