No argument from me. I was just responding to the statement that putting him away for good wouldn't have prevented this. It would have. I read once that the median annual cost for a federal prisoner was something like $50K.
That's freakin' rediculous. For many of these animals, prison is actually a step up in their standard of living. I say bring back road gangs. "Cool Hand Luke" anyone?
Today's prisons are a country-club for the Mexican mafia. You lock him up in there and throw away the key, in 5 years' he might pop up as the next kingpin of MS-13, having hits' carried out on the judge and jury who put him there.
Put him in the electric chair, and don't wet the sponge.
