I discuss some recent stories which say very troubling things about our criminal justice system:  The mass shooter in Texas should have already been in prison for life, a Missouri man commits his fourth murder after "paying his debt to society" for the first three, and a 23 year old out on parole steals a car at gunpoint for a half-hour joyride in Chicago.  Prisoners guilty of violent crime have a 71% chance of rearrest within 5 years.  Good enough?  Disgustingly far from it.
