Wait, Andy. Are you suggesting that arresting and then convicting an individual who was thinking about maybe committing a crime is a bad thing? Oh, you crazy "conservatives." Always trying to protect the guilty.

Well said. One of the main tasks of government is the maintenance of law and order. Justice is supposed to be swift and blind. The failure to perform this duty will inevitably devolve into people trying to defend themselves and their property. This results in criminalizing the victim of the crime who interrupts the crime and injures or kills the criminal. To say the criminal justice system is broken is a gross understatement. The progressive answer- defund the police, release the criminals, eliminate bail, hamstring the prosecutors, and try to eliminate the second amendment. What we get is contempt for laws, lack of justice, and chaos. Electing and tolerating people who implement this madness is the source of this madness.
