In the old days, before political correctness and cultural diversity, when American was a land of pioneers, the local residence would have stormed the jail, dragged out the piece of human garbage, and unceremoniously hanged him from the nearest White Oak tree. I submit for your consideration, in the days of the "Wild West" under vigilante justice, there were fewer innocent victims of violent crimes, per capita, then there is today with liberal political correctness (i.e. don't be a racist).
