Wow! A bill in the Washington State Senate, SB5266-52, would grant early release to convicted murderers who… er, “only” committed two murders or less when they were 18 years old (https://legalinsurrection.com/2025/03/bill-could-allow-early-release-for-juvenile-killers-if-they-didnt-kill-more-than-two-people/).
The reason for letting them out of jail at 24 years old is–get this–is because the brain isn’t fully developed till the age of 24.
Sounds like some state senators’ brains aren’t fully developed yet, either.
Oh! And they also want to give “rental vouchers” to released murderers. Out of jail early and live rent-free!
Of course, if you’ve murdered three victims or more, you’ll have to serve at least 20 years.
A similar bill has already failed in the Washington House. (The Senate to the rescue: “Let ’em out!”
Why do Democrat senators want to do this?
Damned if I know.
Good Lord! I have a differing view of youth offenders. In many cases, someone who commits serious crimes in their youth are giving all observers a preview of what to expect when they become adults, and that is more trouble, not less. There are exceptions, occasionally such offenders join the human race, but to the best of my knowledge, this is relatively rare, and I don’t see any sense in granting early release in the expectation that these people will act exceptionally. I’d wager that most of these people will offend yet again.
The statistics are on your side.
But this is the kind of folly that’s meat and drink to leftids.
It’s wickedness, just plain old sin and evil. Only evil folks or those who are insane would want this. Or, maybe, they are so brainwashed, that only the Blood of the Lamb can heal them and wash away their sin. Elder Mike
Thank you, Mike.
