Letters: After San Jose triple homicide, stop electing judges who are soft on crime
"Why was Mr. Vicencio not in jail - especially after emptying an automatic pistol into the front window of the MLK library in 2019? Now three people are dead. "We charged him with 11 felony counts and asked for him to be sent to prison for nine years. We recognized that he was a dangerous person," Rosen told reporters. "The judge granted probation in that case over our extremely strong objection.""
"Presidents have often blasted the media for perceived unfavorable reports in the media. A difference today is that Congress is acting on the president's wishes to eliminate the sources of these reports ... clearly a free speech right the original Constitution writers wanted to preserve. What goes around comes around, and it won't be long before we have a Democratic president doing the same, and a Democratic-majority Congress mimicking the present Republican Congress."
A suspect in a triple homicide previously avoided incarceration despite violent acts, including firing an automatic pistol into a library window in 2019. Prosecutors charged him with 11 felonies and sought nine years' imprisonment, while a judge granted probation over prosecutors' objections, prompting calls for voters to scrutinize judicial candidates and reject perceived leniency. Congressional actions to eliminate media sources aligned with presidential criticism raise concerns about erosion of constitutional free speech protections and potential reciprocal actions by future administrations. Conversations led by the media and support for responsible journalism are urged. An executive order imposing a fee on H-1B visa applications is praised as beneficial to the American people.
