CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 17, 2023
THE TRAGIC SHOOTING AT MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. HOW? MORE GUN LAWS? NO.
THE SUSPECT, WHO KILLED HIMSELF AFTER MURDERING THREE STUDENTS AND SERIOUSLY WOUNDING FIVE OTHERS, HAD BEEN EARLIER CHARGED WITH FELONY GUN VIOLATIONS, CHARGES THAT WERE REDUCED TO A MISDEMEANOR BY A GEORGE SOROS PROSECUTOR.
THE PROSECUTOR, CAROL SIEMAN OF INGRAHAM COUNTY, RETIRED AT THE START OF THIS YEAR AFTER FACING CRITICISM FROM JUDGES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS FOR HER SOFT-ON-CRIME POLICIES.
THE WASHINGTON FREE BEACON REPORTED THAT SIMEON MADE IT HER OFFICE’S OFFICIAL POLICY TO DROP MANDATORY PRISON SENTENCES FOR FELONY FIREARMS CHARGES. SHE SAID THE SENTENCING ENHANCEMENTS LED TO “DRAMATIC RACIAL INEQUALITY” AND WAS “NOT IN ANY WAY LINKED TO THE GOAL THAT WE SHARE OF KEEPING THE PUBLIC SAFE.”
REALLY? TELL THAT TO THE FAMILIES OF THE DEAD AND WOUNDED.
THE DEAD SUSPECT WAS BLACK AND WAS GIVEN PROBATION. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN JAIL. THE BLOOD IS CLEARLY ON THE HANDS OF SIMEON AND OTHER WOKE PROSECUTORS WHO ARE ENDANGERING THE PUBLIC BY THEIR LIBERAL POLICIES. I’M CAL THYOMAS.
