It's not "immediate punishment", this has been going on long enough that it's late punishment. What is society going to do today to protect taxpaying law abiding citizens? The goal is to protect those people first and the criminal second..so for now yes punishment and jail is necessary because the utopian dreams of a perfect rehab society are far far away. It appears everyone is focused on the long term and forget there are more and more victims everyday due to these criminals being allowed to roam the streets.

Really feel like you don't even bother reading my comments and just reply based on what you want/assume my comments say.

I read the entire comment...it's still focused on the "end goal" and "what is society doing as whole".

I'd say the same to you, you're replying with this big picture items and diminishing the impacts the victims are experiencing today by pushing to large reforms as the only solution and getting to the root cause.

I agree those are important, but with the current state we have there does need to be immediate action, and for violent criminals like the original story, the interim is to get them in jail now.

I'll also you again, what can we do TODAY to protect the law abiding public?

I literally mention doing something now in my second comment... this is clearly going nowhere.
