I agree. I think it should be 3 strikes for violent offenders, not every crime. But then again, there should be some latitude for the Judge there too. Say 3 domestic violence convictions and the guy gets life. That's rough if it was only pushing and shoving as a lot of convictions are. A year, not life. And then theres a double jeopardy issue to it too. Because you are being sentenced to serve time again for offenses that you already served time for and were released. If the 1st two convictions have any bearing on the sentence there's double jeopardy.
