Underincarceration and the drumbeat for “sentencing reform” that lies behind it are the catalysts for tragic and avoidable murder. No humane society should tolerate such a thing, but ours does, routinely, simply to genuflect to demands by criminals and their swooning spokesmen to treat them as if our behavior were the problem, not theirs.
This is false, foolish, immoral, and lethal. Here’s one recent example.
From Asian Dawn, “Their Names Were Jenny and Bao Lam & They Were Executed During a Home Invasion.”
Jenny and Bao Lam, both 61, were living the American dream. They immigrated to the United States with nothing, worked hard, sacrificed, and ended up becoming a Subway franchisee with six restaurants in the Houston area. They had two children, a son and a daughter, and both eventually went on to attend affluent colleges. The son became a captain in the United States Air Force.
On January 11, 2018, Thursday night, Jenny and Bao Lam returned to their Northgate Country Club gated community home and were ambushed as they parked their car into the garage by Erick Alfredo Peralta, 20, half-brothers Aakeil Ricardo Kendrick, 21, and Khari Ty Kendrick, 23.
Houston police believed and later proven right—the couple was targeted because they were Asian. African-American youths have been targeting the Asian community for several years from Los Angeles, Houston to New York and across the Atlantic to London and Paris….
Jenny and Bao were tied up and beaten for information. Once the murderers obtained the safe combination from the couple; they were both shot in the head, execution-style.
Here’s the kicker:
It turns out, one of the perpetrators, Khari Kendrick was a 6’6 all-star basketball player at Cypress Creek High School and was supposed to be sentenced to 30 years in prison for a string of 20 burglaries completely separate from the Lam murders in the Houston area, but he was freed after serving only three years by the state parole commission in an attempt to help reform African-American youths, the bail system in Harris County as a then-demand by Black Lives Matter-backed coalitions, including Right2Justice.
If you’re waiting for the BLM-backed coalitions or those in academia and think tanks who lionize them to have any serious second thoughts about their blood-soaked ideology — the ideology that hatched this racist atrocity — you’ll be waiting a long time.
Speaking of underincarceration, the man who attacked Dave Chappelle onstage carrying a replica gun with a knife attached had previously been arrested for attempted murder of his roommate.

If I understand it correctly, the second item in the following post (https://cw39.com/news/local/icymi-murder-suicide-leaves-4-dead-trial-begins-in-spring-robbery-murder-formula-shortage-hitting-home/) says that the trial of Khari Kendrick started this past Friday w/ jury selection..
