Normally I ignore poorly-sourced exciting stories like this
(rightwing tabloid stuff, hard to believe)
but several news venues have picked upon it so, why not?
Ok. Thanks for sharing. What are your feelings about this story?
Revolving door “justice”.

Or pass a “100 strikes and you’re out” law.

Nothing like misrepresentation and omission. This crime happened in Marion County (metro Indianapolis). That blue square in the center of the Indiana map surrounded by the sea of red. Marion County, and Metro Indianapolis is overwhelmingly Liberal Democrat territory. The City and County Government is Democrat controlled and has been that way for at least a decade. Freakin’ Libs is so spot on.

■■■■■■■ fascist…
Well I think
- he probably should have been locked away already.
(although i wonder if the story is 100% true.)
I have always said the GOP needs to move about 3 (or six) steps to the right.

In a red state…. Are laws set at the state level or county level?

Law enforcement policy is overwhelmingly local. It is all about jurisdiction. The local jurisdiction where this occurred is a progressive liberal Democrat island floating in a surrounding sea of conservative Republican waters. On the island stupid liberal policies are in effect. Remove the demographics of the Island from the rest of the state and disproportionate influence of the island becomes obvious. But you will keep pointing to the surrounding waters and ignoring the island.
As to the state overriding the local law enforcement policies, I can hear the claims of fascist and undemocratic now if the conversative majority in the legislature were to strip the county/city officials of their jurisdictional power to dictate local law enforcement policy. Now feel free to make your usual vapid arguments.

I thought you knew . . .
laws are written by state legislators, and signed by state governors,
but the police, the prosecutors, the judges and many of the jails are at the local (county) level.
That’s why we say things like “In New York city police do that,” and “the LA County prosecutor did that.”
Red State Governors. That’s where we can send in the Naitonal Guard right? (I mean, when the government is open)

violent crime. Not sure anyone can class Indianapolis as a progressive liberal city. Nothing about the city strikes me as particulalry liberal but wjat do I know I have just lived here for 20 years.
Any chance Rick Snyder knows Indianapolis as well as you do?
Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police President Rick Snyder expressed outrage over the case. “We’re really confronted by our after-the-fact, ‘Billy Badass’ prosecutor and our ‘woke, broke’ criminal justice system,” Snyder told “The Hammer and Nigel Show.”
Snyder criticized Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears for reducing Boose’s charge from attempted murder to aggravated battery.
“That means this case, without even taking its first breath in the court system, has automatically been downgraded and reduced, cutting the possible sentencing range from an attempted murder at 20 to 40 years of imprisonment, all the way down to three years to 16 years,” Snyder said.
Boose has nearly 100 prior arrests, with charges ranging from trespassing and theft to battery and drug crimes. Records indicate that most cases ended in dismissals or plea deals. Despite his history, he has never served time in prison.

dont let the facts get in your MAGA rant
Panel hears warnings on rising Indiana prison population, local corrections funding shortfalls.
“If you think about it, just from a numbers perspective, 75% is more than 50% so they’re serving a longer period of incarceration,” she said, referring to changes in Indiana’s sentencing laws that increased the portion of a sentence that offenders must serve — from 50%, or day-for-day credit, to 75%, or three-for-one credit.”
indiana does a fine job imprisoning criminals. and the prisons there are at 95% capacity.
this article was about an impending fiscal crunch with the state not ponying up enough money to run the prisons.

LOL IFOP, their reputation locally is not good. They spend more time raising money to line their own pockets than anything else.
