The trouble with an arrogant, carefree approach to what’s clearly a misguided and dangerous law, is exactly that -- it’s dangerous. Instead of a strict and sensible system of criminal justice that recognizes public safety above all, which it should, we will get a system that willingly fails to recognize that some criminals belong behind bars.
Senator O'Mara offers his weekly perspective on many of the key challenges and issues facing the Legislature, as well as on legislative actions, local initiatives, state programs and policies, and more. Stop back every Monday for Senator O'Mara's latest column "From the Capitol..."
This week, "Where in the name of justice?"
