Guy (St. Louis metro punk with a record, arrested and charged with setting two of 7 recent church fires) is a walking advertisement for Three Strikes and You are Out. I really don't mind hundreds of more prisons. Any yahoo with three misdemeanors or felony convictions, should go away for life. No parole. One meal a day, based upon food they grow in the prison yard. No t.v. No library. No weight room. No basketball court. No handball court. No legal library. Just sit in there and vegetate and ponder a life wasted. 

Because I am really really tired of all the criminal nonsense that is, yes, allowed and encouraged through plea deals, soft prosecutors, first-time offenders, soft judges, and the like. Imagine how much safer any community would be, with all the three time losers gone. GONE. It simply is not that difficult to get up every day and lead your life in peace while making a simple living. 

Our entire mindset about crime and criminals needs to change. Now. What passes for criminal justice in America is merely revolving door repeat business for all involved who make a very good, secure living: bailiffs, court reporters, guards, public defenders, paid prosecutors, defense lawyers, alleged expert witnesses, judges, their staffs, bail bondsmen, etc., etc. Tired of it all. 

This guy had a long rap sheet. Put him away, permanently, at the third offense (if misdemeanor) or felony (totalled up with any misdemeanors) and he is nowhere near any of these churches. How many people are out on bail right now, walking around, with or without ankle monitoring bracelets, carrying guns, planning and doing all sorts of nonsense? More Vonderrit Myers Jr. punks we do not need. 

Not that hard to live on the right side of the law. Make a habit of not doing so, and you can leave. 

Permanently.
