Those who released that criminal need to be held accountable.

14 Pryor arrests how do they let them out my god these DAs need to be held accountable and judges

[jamesadams]

Remove the judge that released him, if you're going to hold parents responsible for their children's actions ( like in Michigan) for a shooting, then the judge that allows him out needs to be held responsible

[sheilasmith]

This is terrible. Praying for the victim🙏🙏

[larryshennum]

Don’t worry he will be out of jail soon.

Praying for the train conductor. How is it possible that a guy with fourteen previous arrests, could even by free and on the streets to commit another crime?. How is the criminal justice system so lenient on some but then so harsh on others who commit lesser crimes?. Jeff Lewis, Detroit.
