Tougher on criminals

Posted

To the Editor,

It's unbelievable!  Living quietly in Warwick was a man convicted of two murders.  Yet our city's residents were unaware until he committed an assault and robbery on March 20th.

How in God's name is a man convicted of manslaughter released after serving only six years in prison?  Then, only a year after his release from that killing, he murdered a Boston police officer.  He served only 15 years on that charge before being released to commit further crimes--to include the assault and robbery here in Rhode Island.

 Only 21 years in prison for killing two people, including a police officer?  Our system of justice (or injustice) is terribly broken when something like this can happen.  And, of course, it's normal, law-abiding citizens who suffer the consequences; such as the woman who was assaulted an robbed in Rhode Island.

Although he'll not get my vote, it's no wonder so many people support Donald Trump for president.  He is seen as far tougher on criminals than the leftist Democrats who have run our justice system for so many years.

    You see that Donald Trump is tougher on crimes, which is extremely important in this country, and also the border; yet you don't like him personally so you won't vote for him? Let's let the criminals from other countries and our country take over our country, why don't we; because people will like you won't vote for Trump! Utter stupidity.

    The righteous on the right won't vote for the Orange Man because he is not righteous enough. The righteous on the left won't vote for the Orange Man because he is not lefteous enough. Who else but the Orange Man is going to close the Southern border and end these horrible wars without end in Ukraine, Israel & Yeman? WHO?
