This is the type of thing that worries me about some members. They get so caught up in everything that they think they are always right and everyone else is always wrong. It's one of the unfortunate realities of the isolationism from real society on TFP. Remember, on TFP you can't read my face, hear my tone of voice, or pick up on any other non-verbal communication. When I said, "We're all pulling for him", I meant, OBLIVIOUSLY, that we want him to reform. Nothing in my entire posting history could even suggest that I'd want someone guilty of a crime released without justice, so your conclusion and subsequent lecture are useless.
It's a shame that you allow your want to lecture to override your reasonable perception. I hope what I meant is clear now that I spelled it out, and hopefully we can avoid misunderstandings in the future if we ask what the other person means instead of assuming they're wrong and you're right. I'll promise to do the same.
Hahaha....yeah I jumped the gun there. I assumed that the judge was contacted and he made the determination to release her. That wasn't the case, I gather. I meant to name the party who released her, whomever that was.

yeah, it was so obvious. Again, YOU may want him to reform and see prison as a methodology to reform. I do not.

I also cannot pick up on the words that you don't type.
And no, I know all about the great state of California. I grew up and lived there for 20 years. I couldn't stand the hypocrisy of the people who lived there and the governement.
I'm still trying to find the exact item that gave Sheriff Baca the ability to reduce sentences via a federal mandate to reduce prison over crowding. IMO that is unconstitutional on it's face and maybe this brings it to light.
what I have found so far and it's a bit pithy.
