A tale of three criminal records - and many missed opportunities

[Philbert]

Hat tip to Instapundit:

A tale of three criminal records - A look at the criminal past of the suspects in the murder of police Sgt Liczbinski.

You hear a lot of talk about enforcing existing laws but rarely is it backed with specifics. As the link shows, the killer of Sgt Liczbinski had no less than thirteen arrests for illegally carrying a firearm, none of which were prosecuted.

The next time someone tries to blame gun owners for the death of Sgt Liczbinski, you can say without exaggeration that the murderer had a fifteen page arrest record, and he should not have been on the streets to kill anyone with an SKS or any other weapon.

Hmm... I guess I never posted that over here originally. Oversight on my part.

"Guns don't kill people. The justice system does!"

And coming from personal experience with a convicted Federal felon repeating his crimes and terrorizing my mother. And we couldn't get anyone to do anything. Lord willing, we'll never be in a similar situation because it was my family's own fault for renting to someone without doing both a credit or criminal background check. But frankly, that experience destroyed this Eagle Scout/Valedictorian/former Justice of the Peace's last iota of trust in the justice department and law enforcement's ability to protect me and my family.

Thank you kindly, but I'll trust myself to do the job - though it would be preferred if the government was responsible enough to handle the matter.

And I really feel bad for LEOs. I mean, how many frickin times do they have to risk their lives ( or !@$% lose them) busting these criminals until the judges will do their duty to keep society safe.

I really don't know if it's a plot, bureaucracy, incompetence, insanity or what.

I think we'd see crime plummet 80% if we passed a law that stated "No claim canbe made of wrong-doing in the result of injury or death if you were actively engaged in a violent crime."

Yes, if you're raping someone, involved in armed robbery, etc and someone shoots you and you suffer injury or death. Oh well...your parents should have raised you better.

Of course, our justice departments are more likely to pursue prosecution of law-abiding citizens than they are against repeat criminal offenders. Why? WHY? W-H-Y?
