Whatever your stance is on sentencing in the American justice system, I’m betting that you hold one principle: People who commit violent crimes against other people or who destroy or take the property of others should be punished in some form.
And Now A Reference to a Cartoon by Gary Larson.
In one Gary Larson’s single-panel cartoons, a dog has its paws on a steering wheel. In the panel a policeman is leaning over the passenger side of a car, where the passenger, holding something that looks like a leash, says, “Hey, I’m not crazy… Sure, I let him drive once in a while, but he’s never, never off this leash for even a second.”
That’s Oregon. Alissa Azar, found guilty of riot and second-degree disorderly conduct related to a 2021 clash with Proud Boys in Oregon, received two weeks (cut to a week, I believe) in jail and three years of probation with specific restrictions regarding body armor and complying with law enforcement orders to disperse. Yep. She’s on a leash. Hey, Alissa, I thought we told you to disperse. Alissa, please move along. Alissa, I’m not going to say this again. Alissa, I said break it up. Move.
That’s New York. “The Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office in Ithaca, NY, a self-described sanctuary city, appears to have failed to honor a valid federal arrest warrant for Jesus Romero-Hernandez, 27, a criminal alien with an assault conviction,” said Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove. “Yesterday, despite the warrant, a defendant with no legal status and a history of violence was released into the community.” Yep. Leash…er…Jesus! Jesus! Come back here, Jesus. Here, Jesus, here! Jesus. Back here, Jesus. Now! Oh! Thanks, ICE-ERO for apprehending Jesus Romero-Hernandez. Thanks also, U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Having a dog drive while on a leash is still having a dog drive the car.
