incarceration to remove the chances of this kind of action happening again by that individual

What is the point of incarcerating individuals if the entire system is turning an ever increasing number into criminals. Either through rampant poverty, which correlates very closely to crime, or by criminalising formerly innocuous activities.

Instead of doing what feels right and locking up and killing criminals, why not do the thing that will actually reduce criminal behaviour and reduce the factors that encourage crime in the first place. Poverty, lack of education, McJobs and drugs all correlate highly with crime, but the right seems addicted to punitive revenge methods instead of spending the money where it's needed. Spend some of that prisons budget on better schools. The War on Drugs not only doesn't work, but actively encourages crime. When drugs are illegal, organised crime steps in to supply the demand. Legalise them, tax the hell out of them and use the money for addiction relief. No more drug gangs pushing people into addiction through peer pressure, no more gangs fighting for dominance whilst the innocent suffer.

If you truly want to make society safe for you and your family, try doing something that works rather than something that feels right.

My God, it's full of air.

I'm in the UK and so can't donate either, but really hope this guy wins.
