Gunther Eagleman wrote: "RELEASED ON BOND — ACCUSED OF MURDER 90 MINUTES LATERA North Carolina man with a long criminal record was released on bond for a previous offense.
Police say roughly 90 minutes later he got into an argument, lay in wait, and opened fire in Charlotte. One person is dead, another injured.
This is not an isolated incident. Similar cases keep surfacing where violent repeat offenders are quickly back on the street.
Former FBI investigator Bill Daily’s blunt assessment:
Police are doing their job. The rest of the system, soft bail policies, lenient judges, and legislatures that prioritize release over public safety, is failing the victims. Statistics show a large share of violent offenders are rearrested within years, many much sooner. When dangerous people are cycled back onto the street this fast, the consequences are predictable, and deadly."
