Amen to Michael Atherton...I'm shocked. -Brandon Lacy Campos -Powderhorn Park
I hope that these repeat offences are not petty crimes, that the perpetrators are not juveniles, and that someone has some kind of recidivism program planned. Otherwise, why don't we just institute a three strikes law and put people in prison for life for bicycle theft. You can't reasonably expect people to live the straight and narrow when they have no alternatives. With ~25% of minority communities dropping out of school and others graduating not knowing how to read, why is it any surprise that we have a such high crime rate? We need to give people choices, not poverty. Fighting the crime rate begins in school.
