Protecting the Public

Here's another example of why we need to be tougher on crime--and criminals when they're caught. If not for justice sake, then to protect the public.

From Fox News:

A man who had been released from prison early for good behavior was convicted Tuesday of trying to kill a young mother and leaving her 5-year-old daughter to be eaten alive by alligators in the Everglades.

Braddy stopped, choked the woman again and put her in the trunk, she testified. Maycock never saw her daughter again. Prosecutors said Braddy then drove to a section of Interstate 75 in the Everglades known as Alligator Alley and dropped Quatisha in the water beside the road.

She was alive when alligators bit her on the head and stomach, a medical examiner said.

Authorities found the girl's body two days later, her left arm missing and her skull crushed, prosecutors said. Maycock woke up bleeding and disoriented in a cane field miles from her Miami-Dade County home.

Braddy had served 13 years of a 30-year prison sentence for attempted murder before being released early for good behavior.

Good behavior, huh? It seems our legal system is completely incapable of making sound moral judgements anymore.

Even if our legal system is too morally bereft to appreciate justice, they have a duty to protect the public. That, too, is a duty from which they are currently derelict.

Todays jail system is too concerned with the rights of the criminal and with "rehabilitation". The first priority of law enforcement should be protecting public safety.
