So I'm curious why jurisdictions would continuously cycle individuals through the system.  I'm sure some of it is the writing of laws (vastly different by venue and political make up).  I'm sure some of it is interpretation of the law (also vastly different).  I'm sure infrastructure plays a part also.  

But the one thing I can't get away is the idea that there is so much to be gained in distribution of tax money on the front end of the system (lawyers, judges, support staff) than the back end (prisons).  Haven't dug into the nuts and bolts of it, but there usually is a reason different than the reason given.

I also ponder why you rarely see 10-35× repeat DUI offenders.

@unplucked_gem

 It has everything to do with " the enforcement " of laws already on the books, and not " interpretation."  The progressive Dems just choose to ignore laws ( witness our southern border as another prime example of this behavior by Dems).

As I stated earlier,  the reason why progressive Mayors, Judges, DAs , etc. in our cities go lenient on crime  is because they feel society is to blame for the crimes committed by these perps....there is no accountability by the perps, and therefore the repercussions are a slap on the hand.  What a bunch of idiots our dear Dem leaders are; this only encourages the activity by the perps to continue. 

@packersbackers  "Trump derangement syndrome and domestic terrorism"

Vast majority of domestic terrorism comes from far right extremists according to FBI data and justice department.

Crime is nonpartisan.  Multiple factors influence crime rates.  For examples, economic hardship, demographics and others.  Democratic and republican mayors have little influence on police department budgets or sizes.  Neither political party has done a better job at reducing crime.  But overall, US crime rates have fallen during last 3 decades.

Charlie's assassination seemed pretty partisan to me.
