Charlotte, NC

Break-ins … shootings … robberies …
They’re all seeming to be on the rise here in the Queen City … but if the folks around here have their way, that rise is gonna finally stop … and soon reverse!

Now, the Charlotte Observer ran a very good article about the meeting between the City Council and citizens who’ve just had enough of this criminal surge and want something done about it. They had stories from different people who’ve been victimized … stories that could’ve just as easily been any of ours!

But if the Council seemed like they were almost tiptoeing around the issue, it’s because it’s not totally in their hands. It kinda runs like this: The perpetrator — more often than not, a repeat offender — knows he can get through the “system” with little more than a slap-on-the-wrist! And, if he does serve time, it’s minimal. So he (or she) knows that another crime will result in just another “bond-out”.

Y’see, it’s one thing to have sufficient law enforcement to handle all the 911 calls and complaints issued every day … but it’s another to have judges who’ll muster the backbone to give criminals (especially the habitual) the full sentencing they should have, and not bondafterbondafterbond they can post, or suspended sentencing.

If we’re ever to make this city safer, the courts have to send a strong message to criminals (especially the habitual offenders): YOU COMMIT CRIME, YOU WILL GO TO JAIL OR PRISON! PERIOD!

And then have the courage to back up that statement, either with more D.A.’s (I agree with Pete Gilchrist completely on that need!), more law enforcement officers, a new and better chief, … and some determination!
