Arizmendi's Role In The Criminal Justice System

Despite the dimmed lights, I vividly recall seeing the dark red wine-like blood slowly trickling down my poor mother’s pale complexion as she desperately ventured to defend herself any way she possibly could. In agonistic shouts she demanded I flee the claustrophobic upstairs bedroom my 2 siblings and I shared. But I couldn’t. The overwhelming fear simply paralyzed every fiber of muscle in my scrawny 6 year old body and stopped any attempts I made in aiding my helpless mother. I merely managed to cowardly curl into a protective ball against the furthest reaches of the room as I tensely witnessed these traumatic events unfold. The despicable assailant, Gustavo Arizmendi, was a former well known comrade of my father. From small talk on the job to sharing cold beers after a long day at work, they gradually formed a friendship over the years.
However, little did we know how twisted and sick this man really was. He blatantly beared the label sex offender, yet his liberty was generously granted by our glorious justice system. Whether it be deficient funding of state prisons or the authorities simply appealed to Arizmendi’s disciplinary actions, his impetuous release allowed for this tragedy to befall upon our family. Individuals with the grand power of jurisdiction should not and cannot be placidly releasing these societal threats. Countless other dangerous criminals are given minimal sentence leaving innocent American families to sleep in terror and uncertainty. Plain and simple, this country needs to re-evaluate and improvise its justice
