The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The locals release pedophiles, rapists multi DUI, assaults, drug dealing, even homicidal illegals with multiple previous convictions already on their rap sheets back into the community where they continue to prey on their communities. Why?

The same reason they release all those people back into the community when they're not illegals - there's no legal reason under state law to hold them any more. They've made bail. Or their prison time is up. Or the charges were dropped. Or they got the wrong guy. Just because someone has a rap sheet doesn't mean that the state can just keep you in jail for as long as they want. By definition, these are all people who the jail or prison no longer has any legal authority to hold in their care, else they wouldn't be being released in the first place. I mean, state law enforcement releases tons of people with rap sheets, only a small fraction of which might be unauthorized, every day.
