When the Victim Is a Registrant, Justice Gets Discounted
There are stories that make you shake your head. And then there are stories that should make everyone reading this furious. This is one of them.
According to a recent report by Perk Valley Now, an inmate at the State Correctional Institution – Phoenix brutally killed his cellmate. The victim? A man labeled a “sex offender.” The outcome? A plea deal for third-degree murder with a sentence of just 8 to 16 years.
Not life. Not decades upon decades. Not the kind of punishment society claims to impose for taking a life. Eight to sixteen years is all the state is seeking! If the victim had been anyone else would the prosecution be satisfied with a sentence of less than a decade? You get more time for a technical registration violation! Is this what justice looks like when the victim carries a label society has decided makes them disposable?
The message this sends to the public is that some lives are worth less. That the state will look the other way when it’s someone on the registry that if you assault or even kill a registrant… well it’s not so bad.

This is all part of the plan. They make paper felonies so we will be reincarcerated. They hope that degenerates will do what degenerates do when caged up. Then a slap on the wrist. Despicable.
The 8-16 years will run after his gun related sentence is complete. IF there ever was a potential menace to society, this gent proved it with one assault and one murder behind bars. And we wonder who should be committed for further treatment and saving society?!
Only if we had a cash cow
