We have a man living in our neighborhood who is a convicted felon. He's a registered sex offender and even worse, a pedophile. This house has become an eyesore in our community. Couple years ago he was busted for trafficking Opana. Whole bunch of pills and a wad of cash on him. After a little more than a year of the case being constantly continued he was finally convicted and given a few years probation. This scumbag is once again selling drugs out of the house. While this is not related to the particular discussion in this thread it is still related.

The big reality here is that regardless of the crime, there is no real consequence for breaking the law. Drug dealers, rapists, thieves, and murderers are being turned out on the streets with no good reason to change their nasty ways. Our system has failed us, the upstanding law abiding citizen.
