Yes, we need to do more prevention. I have had run-ins with some of these guys. It is disheartening.
I have a 15-year-old son. A guy walked into my house while he was home—I was at work—at three o'clock in the afternoon. He locked himself in his room in the basement so they could not get at him. I will agree that the damage to him is done, but a harsher sentence.... This was that guy's ninth conviction. If he had a harsher sentence from the start, he would have been off the street. He would not have been in my house, and quite frankly, we wouldn't have had to deal with him.
