22 Comments on The Murder of Real Estate Agent Sarah Walker
He was released to make room for deadbeat dads, pot smokers, and the like. The legislators have elevated so many formerly civil offenses to criminal, pretty soon a jay-walker will spend 10 years in prison, if they already do not.
Prison administration is BIG BUSINESS.
David, the focus on Sarah is the thing that touches me. I understand your furry and share it, but the story is this lovely woman who did a kindness for a stranger and was killed for it. We need to be careful and mindful and remember that none of us is invulnerable. I just said a prayer for Sarah and her family.
I concur with Sheila's perspective. We all need to be uber careful about our own personal safety.
Lenn, city treasuries, politicians, penal system administrators and attorneys are running out of cash to wine and dine their pals at Las Vegas conventions on the taxpayers dime. They have to barnstorm and come up with creative methods for raising cash and legislate the imposition of fines for picking your nose in public.
I have a prayer for her, too, Sheila.
"May the Lord bless and keep her and her family in His hands, always, and slaughter, destroy, incinerate and vaporize, without mercy, the filthy, vile, nasty dirt bag that took her life. Amen."
Thank you, Carol, for your good thoughts.
Tragic indeed. I have an associate who was almost attacked during a showing. She was alone and met a man at a house. That same man murdered another female Realtor the same week. Personal safety has to be out front.
Thoughts and prayers for Sarah and her family. I always cringe when I hear someone convicted of a violent crime getting out and doing it again. Lenn is right about letting them out so we can house a drunk driver or dead beat dad. Violent crime convictions should have no early release or what is the point of giving them long term sentences. Do we really want these people in the same society as our children and grand children?
Good Morning David, 'Always be Vigilant" is the best advice to offer members of the real estate profession. This is truly sad news.
Tragic beyond comprehension, Sam. Safety protocols have to be in place and mandated for every brokerage. The economy has wreaked havoc on the psychology of the nation and it doesn't help matters. It's created a desperate circle of slimeballs.
I agree, Randy.
I'm not a dove about capital punishment.
I will always believe and support the notion, that violent criminals forfeit their right to exist among the righteous, forever.
Thank you, Dan.
I think Lenn said it all.. we have to make sure we keep the bad guys in jail in perpetuity.
I agree with everyone that this creep should never have been let out of prison. But, they claimed their prisons were "over-crowded." I am guessing that they could not build more prisons due to reducing prison budgets, which is crazy. We, as a country, cannot take care of all of the things that are SO important, if we only concentrate on cutting the budgets on these things.
Unfortunately, you get what you pay for, and, in this one horrible, detestable case, this poor woman, her family, and all those who love her... are paying for it every day of their lives.
What can we do about it ? Get our priorities straight, and keep monsters like this off the streets.
Agreed, Joan.
What we can do is to ask the attorney general to publicly execute the bastard who killed her, and any scumbags like him, Karen.
That made me cry. I read about this so long ago, but the memory is still fresh, David. I will write to the attorney general, in fact, I will make this a priority.
Thanks.
Sadly, the world is an enormous hiding place for filthy trash like the sleazebag lowlife that took her life, Suzanne. That dung pile will probably die in prison, but I'd see that cockroach executed and vaporized if I had been the judge.
David
Oh my God....this is so horrible. Convicted of a vicious crime before, and allowed back on the street? Incomprehensible.
No creature under heaven should suffer as she did, Pacita.
