4/20/2010anyone trying to say there isnt a crime problem with tacoma is either blind or doesnt know about tacoma.
i believe the main problem with the crime in tacoma is the legal system there being the pierce county superior court. this court runs on the belief turn them in and out as fast as you can, we dont want to spend any money on housing criminals.... just let them free.
a prime example is maurice clemmons. in 2009 clemmons was arrested for child rape in the second degree, being a fugitive from justice, and 8 count of felony assault(which was on pierce county sheriff officers) mr clemmons had a long history of criminal behavior before these arrests and this court allowed him to walk free which eventually he committed multiple murders while on bail.
my ex is a habitual felon in the tacoma area. she has been convicted since may of 2008 for unlawful possesion of a stolen vehicle, 2 counts of felony identity theft, another unlawful possesion of a stolen vehicle, and making a false statement to police, remind you these are just the charges she has been convicted on not any that are pending which is a few.
she has done less than 6 months in county jail for all of this, only uses a public defender and has never even been put on probation.
how does this town expect crime to get better when their own legal system allows criminals to know that they will not be punished for their crimes. it is a joke.
get harder on crime by invoking stiffer punishments and you will see crime decrease. the best way to reduce crime is that a criminal knows they will get more than a slap on the wrist.

pierce county superior court is a joke -
4/20/2010maurice clemmons for example.. if you live or know anything about tacoma then this name should ring a bell. check pierce county legal information network exchange(pierce county linx) this man was set free by this court numberous times before his multiple murder and death.
my ex is in this system and has commited on average 2 felonies a year since 2008 and gets nothing more than a slap on the wrist.
there is no wonder why this town is so overwhelmed with crime.

4/19/2010the pierce county superior court is a joke. and criminals laugh at it. just take the maurice clemmons case for example this is a man who in may of 2009 punched sheriffs and was let out on bail, then in july of 2009 was charged with child rape and let out on bail, only to after that commit multiple murders. he had a long arrest history and record and was not dealt with properly by this court system.
my ex lives in this area and is a known meth addict, since may of 2008 she has been convicted of 4 felonies on 3 occasions, she has done a total of 5 months in county jail and is currently in the drug court program, i would like to add that none of her charges are drug related.
i know that in missouri and most any other state she would have done time in prison by now for sure.
it is no wonder tacoma scores so high in crime, they only give criminals a slap on the wrist and release them to commit more crimes knowing that they will not have to face any serious punishment for those crimes.
