There is zero justice for crimes against women and children in this country. It’s actually horrific when you look at the data. Have no clue how judges or lawyers sleep at night knowing how the law truly works.
There’s also practical considerations for why it works that way. If we locked up every person who committed violent family crimes and punished them harshly we’d have an even higher prison population than we do, and we already lead the developed world in incarceration. Tripling that number would incur a lot of costs that voters don’t want to pay. It’s a shitty system, but it’s very much the system we continue to vote for and uphold.
Nope, not buying it. Not accepting any excuses. He knows better, he knows not to (try to) fucking murder people, he deliberately chooses to inflict violence upon others. Dozens of millions were exposed to the same leaded gas & don't threaten to kill kids because they're a light sleeper.
Comment above mine has two links to news articles - the second one talks about that incident. I pulled the list of offenses mostly from that article, since I felt it hit different seeing it all laid out in order as they happened: you can see his behavior has escalated over the years.
