Where IS the outrage??????????

Four Years for Murder?

The Greektown shooting the other day continues to pop up in our comments and e-mail:

• OT: Hey SCC, if you get a chance look at the background of two of the offenders involved in the Greek Town shooting. Both are on parole for Murder, both charged in 2008 and eventually convicted. Offender 1 was sentenced to 18 years and offender 2 was sentenced to 80months. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you didn't get day for day good behavior on a murder conviction? How in the world is offender 1 out of prison and how does offender 2 get 6 1/2 years on a murder?!?! Where's the outrage, where's the accountability, where's the protest? News Media, you want to know why our City's streets are lost? Start by looking here!

It seems the shooter was convicted of Murder. That's a felony for starters, so he shouldn't have had a gun according to the law. More interesting is the rap sheet that says he served only FOUR years of his EIGHTEEN year sentence. His accomplice, who actually handed him the gun, was convicted of the same murder and served ONE year of an EIGHTY month sentence.

We're wondering where the outrage is? Where's the media's breathless coverage of democrats releasing murderers back into society where, 'lo and behold, they manage to get a gun, get into a fight, blast a few people and generally be a pain in the ass to the taxpayers.
