Quick Bits: Top five reader comments of the week

Here’s what you had to say this week, Southwest Riverside:

On Murder-suicide victims at Hemet courthouse identified

Johnny: “Unfortunately the laws are skewed in favor of the mothers. Sometimes it leads to unfortunate actions on the fathers who are unable to deal with the unfairness of the whole process.”

On RivCo officials promise careful examination of inmates released from county jails

Robert Durham: “Your solution is to release parole violators to parole supervision? AB 109 requires all parole violators to serve their violation time in county jail. That is ALL parole violators – not just the “low level, drug and theft” offenders. When you release parole violators early understand who it is you are releasing – child molesters, rapists, gang members, and other violent offenders are those being released early and without consequence. Without the threat of being returned to custody for violating parole, what incentive is there for a child molester to keep his GPS charged and refrain from associating with children at the local park? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!”

On Parole denied for ex-CHP officer who killed SDSU student during traffic stop

John: “I remember that case and I’ve been down to the bridge where it happened. He totally abused his power and took this innocent life. He needs to remain in prison for the rest of his life!”

On RivCo: New Year offers amnesty to some with unpaid tickets

Alicia: “How nice. So, for those who have been trying really hard to pay off their tickets from over the last few years, making monthly payments, they get nothing. But those who haven’t done squat get a break. WTF?!”

On Man collapses, dies at Palm Springs Film Fest

Jesse: “I heard about this, I was there but only saw the ambulance. I am so sad this man didn’t make it. My prayers go out to him and his loved ones.”
