The Punishment Should Fit The Crime

We have to take a tougher stance on crime because it's only getting worse. I have started to hear the excuses already. Quit extending grace to these unrepentant heathens. " If you let the devil ride, he'll want to drive." We're going to have to lower the gauntlet in spite of who gets caught. I even found myself trying to determine the level of each of these suspects involvement in the most gruesome acts of violence I've heard about. They robbed someone and set him on fire. This takes violence to a whole new level.

Nothing we do now is going to help Kelvin Cooper. But maybe we can keep it from happening to somebody else. In spite of what some people say. Some things you just can't make right. I suspect a love triangle here somewhere. I'm not so sure Kelvin Cooper wasn't a sugar daddy.The young woman was the catalyst. Without her it would have never happened. The two men are both responsible. One did it and the other did nothing to stop it. We have to send the message " guilt by association." If there was a chance that these people would be subject to the same pain and suffering they inflict. These type crimes would all but disappear. The punishment should fit the crime.
