re: #62 Floral Giraffe

I don’t know that the 3 strikes law, has reduced crime at all.
I do know, that if the offender if facing a third strike, many seem to prefer “suicide” by cop.
I’ll go look for some info on the crime stats.

You a California girl..Remember the anger over the Paulie Klaus case?
That lead to 3 strikes law…The law was applied unevenly..
People with 2 strikes stealing a pizza were given 25 years in Prison…
Thus desperation and higher violence upon the 3rd strike…Yes you are exactly correct
