    Why do they keep letting these people back out on the streets?!! Keep them locked up!
    I wish they would bring back the 3 times and you are locked up for good law. They know they will get out and they just keep repeating the behavior or up their game and kill someone the next time.
    It’s time to protect the rest of us law abiding citizens and lock up the bad ones.
    Also in the article it stated she did not show up for a court appearance, how come she wasn’t picked up at that time. The system sure lets a lot of people fall through the cracks. Time to crack down!

      How much longer is she going to be a menace to society?
      Isn’t it time she was locked up for good, how many times does she get. Obviously she hasn’t learned a darn thing.
