In my view, it's the D.A.'s and judges who are more concerned with the rights of the drug addicts and the mentally impaired vs the right of Citizens. In Burlington, Vermont, same problem, the D.A. has a thing about not requiring bail even for repeat offenders! I understand there can be a lack of jail housing and a lack of court officers to handle all the mayhem, but just in the last week in Burlington, an Officer got punched in the head and had to be taken to Hospital with possible TBI ! Inflicted by a multi time offender. It's just unacceptable, especially in jurisdictions where they also are against people defending themselves, utter insanity if you ask me.
