"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."
"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. How to bring us back to the intentions of the First Amendment?"
Lenient judicial decisions can allow dangerous individuals to remain free and later commit deadly crimes, prompting calls for voters to scrutinize judges on ballots. A probation decision in a prior case where a suspect allegedly fired an automatic pistol at a library raised questions after a subsequent triple homicide. Concern exists that liberal sentencing policies may fail public safety, and voters are urged to consider judicial records when voting. Robust, independent journalism is urged as a remedy to censorship and threats to free speech, with warnings that legislative actions against media sources could be reciprocated. A proposed executive order would impose a $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications.
