This is absolutely f*cking mindboggling ” At the time of his arrest, Lassiter was found to be on probation stemming from previous narcotics distribution and firearms offenses. ” Why the f*ck was idiot ever given probation? This nonsense will continue unabated until judges are held responsible for their actions. Just consider the amount of resources and taxpayer dollars that are wasted catching , processing , housing , prosecuting , etc only for them to do it again.
