Throw away the key

 There is something I don't understand . Putting it simply - it drives me crazy.

Every other day you put on the TV or read about someone shooting a person,  shooting a group of people, knife attacks and the like.

Then if they are lucky, the cops get hold of them alive and take them into custody.

Following me ?

Ok- now begins the tomfoolery. 

They are kept in jail and deliberations begin IF they are guilty or not.

Where does this IF  come in.

Then if they can't afford a lawyer, the state provides then one. 

Now that's a sweet and generous gesture if ever there was one!

It now becomes the perogative of that lawyer to DEFEND the rascal and try and either get him out of prison or get his sentence reduced to the minimum. 

The same guy who has caused untold misery- has taken a life or lives of innocents and often of kids too, now hopes to be set free! He has ruined people's lives and livelihood.  He has scarred others for life.  Does he deserve any mercy ? 

If all goes as per plan , he is often out, either freed or on parole before one can say Jack Robinson or whatever!.

Reports tell you he was on a 'Watch list' of some agency or the other. Or else he had just come out of prison or mental asylum.  At times he was supposed to be undergoing therapy.

Am I missing something ?

Who was watching him ?

Why was he not being watched properly ?

Why was he out of prison?

If he had mental issues and people knew he did - pray what the hell was he doing with a deadly weapon? 

Out on parole? Who gave him parole in the first place. 

We surely live in a strange world. 

Please don't tell me he deserves to be defended .

That's a load of bunk and balderdash. 

These imbeciles need to be put away for good.  No parole whatsoever.  

100 life sentences. 

Better still , deposit them all on some vague uninhabited island and let them do whatever they please with themselves and each other.

He or she doesn't make a difference .

What's with our world ?
