These judges keep letting these frickin thugs out with no bail, suspended sentences, and DA's choosing not to prosecute just to make a political statement
Just like a person with multiple DUI's how frickin many you gotta get to see significant jail time before you kill somebody and they will kill somebody

First off, murderers should at least be life-imprisoned. First-degree should be executed.

Imprison judges that let criminals go, only to go create more victims. If these judges face consequences for their actions, their bullshite will stop.

No doubt that a small group of repeat offenders drives most violent crime. But the U.S. already tried the “lock everyone up” approach for decades and ended up with one of the highest incarceration rates in the world while repeat-offense patterns barely changed.
The places that actually moved the needle focused on the known high-risk group, tightened supervision, and stopped the constant churn of the same people in and out of the system. A targeted-enforcement problem, not a volume problem.
A big part of the problem is the revolving door — guys get picked up for violent offenses and are back on the street in hours or days. When the same small group keeps getting released immediately, you’re basically guaranteeing the cycle continues. That's where the focus needs to be.

That's entirely false.
In the American colonies if someone was arrested for a "high crime" they were tried within a week or two and if found guilty they were immediately and publicly hanged in the town square.
And the murder rate was six times what it is now.
Don't believe me; look it up yourself.
And that was for any "high crime," not just murder. Stealing horses, for example.
For "misdemeanors," which could be anything from petty theft to blasphemy to adultery to idleness, the process was the same except instead of being hung you might be branded, you might be confined to the stocks (also in the public square), tarred and feathered, horsewhipped, or you might get a fine.
Not going to argue about this back and forth. I'll just refer you to El Salvador as a modern example.
