Ive read hundreds of rap sheets from EBR and it isnt the exceptions who basically skate. 25 arrests and a total of 4-5 years prison time. Thats not unusual.
But to go back to what I believe are false perceptions, they aren't limited to "people skating on minor shite for years". Every thread about a killing will have someone saying they are going to get a low bond and given a slap on the wrist.
But when a murderer gets 43 years hung on them, no one posts shite.
Now, again, will the "toughest" of the "tough on crime" folks say the DA should have put the family through a trial they likely didn't want, just to get an L-I-F-E life sentence? Sure. But four decades ain't a slap on the wrist, and sentences like this get handed down in the 19th on the regular. This is the norm, not the exception.

as I’m sure you can understand the frustration is not exactly with the sentences at the 19th JDC or the percentage of cases or any of the statistics I’m certain you are correct on and more qualified than most to point out.
The frustration of the law abiding community of Baton Rouge is not about the individual perp, it is about the brazen criminal behavior of a very specific and easy to identify demographic which to this point shows no sign of being adjudicated out of existence or severity.
So, ask the average non criminal Baton Rouge resident what is the most likely outcome here and he/she will be correct…the dude in the pictures will likely be found, will likely be arrested and released, will likely not serve any time, and will likely re-offend over and over and over again until he eventually winds up in Angola after a crime of violence
And you will be right to respond that it is not the role of the criminal justice system to prevent future criminality. We are reaching the point with these people and this specific demographic where the civil rights of the offended must take precedence over the offenders and serious consequences must follow less serious crimes.

How much of that 43 will he actually serve?

But they would not be correct, at least in my opinion. I outlined a bit ago on this thread the way I would expect this case to go, assuming they are caught and the DA has a reasonably strong case.
If someone wants to be frustrated that misdemeanor theft only carries six months and theft after two or more convictions (it doesn't escalate from there) only carries two years, they have that right. But that's not what I see on here. I see people constantly bitching about "the judges at the 19th JDC", and when I point out that their problem isn't actually with the judges and they should call their congressman, the screeching is as deafening as it is boring.
The bonds set in the 19th generally aren't unreasonable high or low (though I've gone on record multiple times that I think our monetary bond system is fricking retarded and we should move to a system that more closely mirrors the federal system, but that's neither here nor there) and sentences, generally speaking, are within the norm as well. That doesn't mean there aren't people who "get off" with dismissals or low sentences the average person might disagree with, but that isn't the norm, and people should stop pretending as though it is. It's not only bullshite, but it's counterproductive bullshite, as it precludes any reasonable discussion of possible solutions.

Because I don't really do criminal defense work anymore, I'm not as off the cuff on that kind of thing as I used to, but depending on the exact date that offense happened, he might be eligible (but almost certainly wouldn't be granted) parole after serving 75%, so a bit over 30 years. If his offense date is after the abolition of parole went into effect in 2024, then his earliest good time date would be after serving 85%, so 36 years and change. At least to the best of my recollection.

Detectives also believe the suspects were armed with firearms at the time.

It's actually becoming an interesting mix. You have houses built in 1968 that haven't seen a remodel in their entire existence either still being lived in by the original resident or being rented out. Then you have houses that have undergone full gut renos and are selling for $500-$750k. Obviously still not "rich", but not exactly what most people mean by "middle class", either.

I blame the criminal and the victim.
Lock up the Tpos criminal
Lock your fricking car doors - to the victim.
If you don't lock your car door, you are inviting a crime to your neighborhood.
Sorry, no sympathy for the victim.
If a lady on a sidewalk gets her purse stolen do you blame her for not having it padlocked to her shoulder?
I'd love to see your list of what else is considered Inviting a Crime. I bet it's fascinating.

“Criminal Justice”. Nah.
It’s the Victims that need Justice. Not the criminals.
There doesn’t seem to be even a solid, plain language working definition of Justice.
As a suggestion:
Justice = A Lack of Injustice.

Say if one of these thugs gets caught breaking into a vehicle by a homeowner and is shot to death, could the homeowner theoretically be charged?

You would need to amend both the US and Louisiana constitutions.

Yes.
In Louisiana, while force may be justified to protect property, lethal force is not.
Justifiable homicide
vs
Use of force
ETA: The above is assuming the homeowner isn't inside of the vehicle at the time, obviously.
