If they had caught the guy who threw the brick, what do you think would have happened to him ? Some liberal judge would have said "dont do it again", "next case". I used to work in a juvenile detention home ( for a short time ). The kids in there admitted to me on MANY occasions that there was NOTHING they were afraid of concerning the courts. They knew until the age of 18 they could do ANYTHING just short of murder and pretty much get away with it. It's not much different with adults. When a person gets 10 yrs in jail BUT only actually serves 12 months, where is the deterrent ? Many mean people figure the risk outweights the deterrent. Until we reverse that situation , things will not improve
