A Petty Criminal

Posted on | October 31, 2013 | 20 Comments

Bryan Sweatt of South Carolina:

Sweatt has a lengthy arrest record that dates back nearly a decade, according to state police records. Most of his charges were related to property crimes, such as burglary or forgery, although he was arrested once on aggravated assault charges.

How many times have I pointed out that those who perpetrate headline-making atrocities are often petty criminals who escalated?

    That’s just page B-5 news in The Philadelphia Inquirer. It only makes the front section if a cute white girl gets killed.

    In Philly, the euphemism is that the “suspect was well known by the police.” The city treats criminals like fish; they throw back the little fish, and then everyone is shocked, shocked! when the occasional little fish grows into a big fish, and kills a cop.

    And there’s really no good thread on which to put this, but since our humble host is an Alabama fan, we can all say, “Roll Tide!”

    I’m sure that his wombatness will embed this one for us. 🙂

    One local county government (RUN BY DEMOCRATS – SHOCKA!!!) just voted to remove a question on its employment application that asked, “have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense?” They said it was “discriminatory to people who deserve a second chance”.

    I shit you not. They ARE that stupid.

    Yup. If we made car thieves and burglars serve their time, rather than cutting them loose to run the streets, the country would be safer — but that might violate someone’s “civil rights” or something.

    Burglary is NOT a “property crime” and should never be considered as such. When you break into a home, you cannot know whether anyone may be there unnoticed or may return at any moment. It is a violent situation that every burglar may face. Allowing burglars to be treated like car thieves or shoplifters is a mistake of the justice system which often leads to such fatal consequences.

    Second point: this individual had previously threatened suicide and exhibited erratic behavior, but was never forced into a mental evaluation. Maybe an evaluation or 48 hour commitment wouldn’t have made a difference, but it should have been done in at least two prior instances. Allowing the mentally ill to wander freely without restraint is asking for trouble. They don’t all confine themselves to trolling the internet like some we know.

    “Criminals are dangerous.”

    Isn’t that profiling?
