What colour was the criminal
In reality, it should not matter; a criminal is a criminal. But in a lot of these cities, if you are black, it is racist to keep you in prison.
100% agree it should not matter. Just taking a wild guess here.
To the Rules for Radicals.
Not really racist in that kind of way. But more about it looks bad on the Black community when jails and prisons are hugely over represented. So for sake of PR and trying to protect them from people always noticing it, they let them loose so it doesn't become a front page arrest with a police station mugshot.
Create the problem, provide the solution.

I dont commit crimes either, unless someone wants to claim a handful of $40 speeding and parking tickets since high school are arrest worthy. And one of the parking tickets I even got cancelled by the city.

Iryna Zarutska’s accused killer Decarlos Brown Jr. could face death penalty after gruesome Charlotte train stabbing
Accused killer Decarlos Brown Jr., 31, has been charged with violence against a railroad carrier and mass transportation system resulting in death.
I never understood this American fetish of death sentence and public executions, instead of first of all prevention by educating communities ; drug education and treatment, and also rehabilitiation. Where does this Hammurabi shit comes from? I assume it's the same Puritan logic that that resulted in Salem trials, but I don't understand what was the origin of that. Long shot: people that emigrated to America were all pretty hardcore on life, so then all of those people ended up in one country.
This is all related to how Americans designed their cities, and now are surprised by the consequences. European cities are LIVING cities, and that includes downtown. There are regular people living in the middle of Berlin, Paris, Rome, etc. Actually the city closest to the US example is Brussels, nobody wants to live in the center over there.
I have no fucking clue why anyone would have any interest in trying to rehabilitate someone who slashed a poor girl to death completely unprovoked.
You and your dentist could run security at the Louvre.
Fun fact, the recidivism rate for a violent felon who received the death penalty is......ZERO.
What if the court made a mistake and sentenced an innocent to death? Do we go with "well, if it's 0.1% of cases it's fine, can't be right all the time!"?
Presumably if the jury knew the sentence would be carried out quickly, they would only vote guilty for the crime if there was 100% zero doubt and a history of similar violent behaviors. The lawyers would do the responsible thing and only charge based on what evidence they have and the defense would actually proffer guilt pleas to avoid it, saving us all the time and $$$ of a pointless trial.
Well, that's the European way. Although I can see an argument for death penalty like the guy that killed Iryna - seems pretty clear cut to me.
To be fair what did you expect seing the reaction to George Floyd's death? They were praising a literal criminal who OD-ed.
I don't know how many time he was convicted in those 91 times (i suspect everytime), but to me more than 5 convictions means you are a career criminal. The problem nowdays being criminality is actually a better career choice than anything else for a lot of the dumbest people, since they can make money quick and when caught they aren't really punished.
If you go look at those cases there were sketch to begin with (if you believe this article is accurately representing the case). These days the sheer amount of electronic data makes a lot of "I wasn't even there" defenses pretty easy to corroborate. Pure "I say he did it" witness testimony is stuff that shouldn't carry the DP in most cases.
The problem with this attitude is that the criminal element only grows. As the "good people" move away it strands the less fortunate and the cancer spreads. Cities have operated this way for DECADES and you can see how it eats the heart right out.
