We are about to be flooded with early release prisoners, many of which are violent offenders. I wish I owned an alarm system company.

We need to build more prisons and keep these people locked up for public safety…you don’t reform a guy that does something like this…there should be no bail in cases like this…keep him locked up…just like the shooter in Sacramento…he has been in and out of prison all his life for weapons charges and worse….we deserve better from our state’s leaders….they are failing us…
