This is why the hammer needs to come down on low level crime. People who rape and murder usually have a long rap sheet. It's all random thefts and assaults until they decide to kidnap someone or push them off a subway platform.

In this case this was a convicted child molester? (didn't see the video) Second strike for touching a child should bury you under the prison. I know some people have said that might lead to molesters killing more children, but what's the alternative? Let them loose to molest more kids and eventually kill one when they feel like it?
