I have to live with that every day.
I believe people can change and should be given a Second Chance. I live my life to give back and to help others.
I respect your thoughts, but have different beliefs about that.
My brother and I went to prison for taking the life of our abuser. I spent 13 1/2 of a 25 year sentence in Alabama. Made parole and have been pardoned.

If youβve never been in that situation where you feel like you life is constantly at stake- then you donβt understand their desperation.
I donβt condone murder- but I can understand being pushed to this state. My brother and I were there.
I never said they shouldnβt pay- but itβs time for FREEDOM
I canβt speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters arenβt going after gang members. Theyβre hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.
Easy money, no risk.
Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.
@jacobsoboroff.bsky.socialβthank you for your words.
How could they have gotten away? Donβt you think Jose would have found them and harmed them. They wouldβve ruined his life!!! He couldnβt have that.
They didnβt kill them for the money. My brother and I had 4 months before we were arrested. We had the same mentality they did- FREEDOM

They did it to escape the abuse. All trauma responses
How should they have handled it? In 1989, they would be accusing a rich person of sexually abusing them. How would that have turned out? They were fearful for their lives and escaped the abuse. I believe them Wholeheartedly!!!!

You probably have some creative ideas for amendments. Submit them now to help keep vote-a-rama going for as long as possible. π

Castor: They told Heidy SΓ‘nchez, βCome in earlyβwe want to check on your status.β And she did the right thingβ¦ And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

But then I was looking through old state codes and I saw a three strikes law from 1923. Then I found dozens from around this time, and wondered (naively) what was going on.
