The Other McCain has a post touching on a subject that drives me crazy some days. Recidivism. Two Words: ‘General Population’
Say hello to Don Steven McDougal, 42, another repeat offender who never should have been let out of prison. Over the years, I’ve called attention to lots of criminals who fit this description. They keep getting turned loose until finally they commit an atrocity that makes nationwide headlines.
I don't know if this story made national headlines or not, though it should have. But the media's bias is not the point of this post.
That’s eight convictions over the span of about 20 years, so it seems that McDougal spent basically his entire adult life either (a) committing crimes or (b) serving prison time. At no time was he ever a law-abiding citizen, but they kept turning him loose until he finally killed somebody
And this didn't happen in a Blue City. It happened in Livingston, Texas, a town of about 6000 people which is about an hour's drive north of Houston.
