How Is That Criminal Justice Reform Working Out?

Furlough for prisoners? Of course. Why not? Alleged Westminster home invader had been released from jail three months prior

He was released and was supposed to work at a dog kennel in the area. But he left and went to live with a friend in New Hampshire.

During his appeal of the DOC’s decision, King contended he did not relapse into substance misuse and did not commit any other crimes. King also said the owner of the dog kennel took his phone and tried to poison him.

That is up there with the dog ate my homework as an excuse. Still, a judge let him out.

On March 14, King kicked in a door in Shady Pines Park, shouting “ATF, come out with your hands up.”

The homeowner, Nathaniel Keefe shot King shortly thereafter.

He is now being held without bail on the new charge of burglary of an occupied dwelling with a deadly weapon.

King has a criminal record extending back to 1999, including 10 felonies and three misdemeanors and is currently serving a three-and-a-half to 10-year sentence imposed in 2018 on charges of burglary, accessory to burglary, and possession of stolen property.

He could have been locked up until September of 2027, but that wouldn't have been fair.

Any bets on what he will be sentenced to? My guess is that he will NOT be charged under federal law as a felon in possession of a firearm. Because enforcing the gun laws we already have is not fair, not if it means keeping people in jail.

Western civilization was nice while it lasted.
