Of the three I posted to you recently: one was a 4-by-4 post, one was a knife, and one was an illegal gun. "we still have 32,000 gun deaths a year....???" Right. Mostly in those urban corridors, committed by people wielding illegal guns, or by Police or honest citizens in the act of committing a justifiable homicide. Some suicides but when people commit suicide in a violent manner the problem is beyond controlling guns. Yet your mission is all about taking guns away from honest conservatives. ... Your positions are typically disconnected in that way because of the mental block created by your partisan extremism.

Nineteen year old Sonya Santiago was murdered by an early release prisoner in the state of Florida. He was sentenced to 6 years but was "grandfathered" and allowed out after 3 years. He was wearing an ankle monitor and under the watch of the probation department. His employer repeatedly wrote him excuse notes so that he was able to roam the area at will and not go directly home from work. The restaurant was within sight of Sonya's apartment. He not only raped her, he slashed her throat. DNA put him at the scene. Three months after murdering Sonya, he broke into a house a few blocks from her apartment and raped a mother and her 9 year old daughter. DNA also tied him to this. news.google.com

Hammer and knife: William Coday, Jr. Jurors in 2002 convicted Coday of the 1997 murder of Gloria Gomez, 30. Coday killed Gomez after luring her to his Fort Lauderdale home by concocting a story that he was dying of skin cancer. He used a hammer to beat her, and when it broke, he used a second hammer and a knife, leaving her body with 144 wounds. Gomez was alive for all but the last of those hammer blows and stab wounds, according to forensic evidence at the trial. It was not the first time that Coday killed an ex-girlfriend. In 1978, Coday used a hammer to kill Lisa Hullinger in Hamburg, Germany, where the 19-year-old woman was an American exchange student. Coday was also studying there. When Coday went on trial in Germany, his attorney used an insanity defense and Coday was sentenced to three years in prison. He was released after 15 months and sent back to the United States with orders to get psychiatric treatment. He got some help but dropped out, partly because of the cost, he later said.

The system isn't working. Since 2002 33 parolees have been linked to 38 murders here in Colorado. I doubt we are the worst state but I haven't researched the others. and In nearly every murder in which a Colorado parolee was convicted or accused, The Post found a breakdown in the system that was supposed to monitor them: • Three parolees who killed had been arrested or charged with a crime while on parole, two of them accused of brutalizing the women they would later murder. Police investigated another who was not arrested. • Nine parolees who murdered had warrants out for their arrest but had not been picked up or were missing. • Twenty-nine of the parolees committed violations ranging from using cocaine and moving without permission before they were arrested for murder. • A third of parolees who murdered left prison with no home but for a shelter or motel. • Five had been suggested for intensive supervision parole, which requires electronic monitoring and state-paid drug testing, but were placed on lower supervision levels. Three were not placed on intensive supervision because of budget constraints or program caps. • More than half of the convicted killers spent time in solitary confinement in prison, deemed too violent and unpredictable to live among the general population; three were released directly from what is known as administrative segregation to the streets. • Rehabilitation was absent in many cases. One murderer tagged for drug treatment was wait-listed for a substance-abuse program and released from prison, walking out on the streets never having received the class. In another case, a sex offender never received treatment and while on parole killed the daughter of a lover who had spurned him. denverpost.com
