So let me get this straight: "Rushing to judgement" on a Repeat (Habitual) Offender and Law Breaker with a lenghty criminal record (FACT) is somehow considered (by you) ethically immoral as it violates the Bill of Rights and Constitution!?! What do you think the primary duty of a Judge is?
I reserve the 'right' as an individual citizen of the US, to 'judge' based on any historical account. That in no way should be confused with a formal judgement made in Court of Law with or without penalties.
So, what about all of the individuals 'rights' that were violated time and again by this guy -committing crimes across Wilmington without being locked-up? Where is the justice? What about all the laws he's broken (and been convicted) which has propelled himself into criminal status yet, he still walks? Where is the justice?
I can only hope that you or I won't be a victim anytime while he walks free b/c the non-judgemental decision made when setting his bond.
The chief going on record was commendable; notifying the public is the right thing to do.
That's another problem, SCTom
