What do you expect, with a lousy criminal justice system like ours. This is also compunded by other societal shortcomings. Parents need to start raising kids again and teaching them respect for themselves and others, people need to stop settling for mediocrity. Kids need to learn how to deal with adversity and failure and overcome it rather than being sheltered from it.
Shit like this is but a symptom of a more insidious disease that is infecting our society. Citizens need to start becoming more affirmative in their demands to take back their streets, making wrong doers accountable and raising children who respect hard work and don't have a sense of self entitlement. Just remember there are more of us then there are of them and by them I mean criminals, and those who protect them them.
In closing I have to ask, what's the difference between being tried and convicted by a jury of your peers and reponsible and vigilant citizens keeping their neighbourhoods safe from the scum that dwells there?
