There really are superpredators like Darrell E Brooks ( Waukesha Christmas parade massacre. Dozens of other assaults and rapes of children and young adults of color.)
And sometimes we need to take a serious look at a justice system that allows bail and early release for such individuals. The vast majority of crime is committed by very few people that destroy hundreds of lives each.

No, no, no. No shifting of goalposts. Vast majority, very few people, you said.

Now "crimes" becomes "serious crimes" and you say you aren't moving goalposts?
