Calling someone who has a history of violently assaulting people a "low level criminal" is exactly the kind of bs that make Democrats look soft on crime. Guess what? People don't want "low level criminals" in their neighborhoods, riding their trains, or occupying the public spaces. People know it only takes one second for that person to become a "high level criminal" when their long history of BLATANT DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE results in murder and those in charge suddenly say "Oops, I guess I should have denied bail."
