It is very easy to target Jason with all type of negative comments. Nevertheless, you need to know him in person to abstain from further condemning this tortured soul. ARMED robbery is not excusable anywhere and not acceptable under any circumstance. For the last (at least) twenty years that I have known him, Jason had been fighting a very sorrowful and desperate battle against powerful drug addiction demons. This was my reply to my wife when she e-mailed me the news about Jason last fall out: ????? ???? ???? ?????? May Allah guide his soul and get him out this! ????? ???? ???? ?????? is the five words of the following Quranic verse: {Men said to them: "A great army is gathering against you": And frightened them: But it (only) increased their Faith: They said: "ALLAH IS SUFFICIENT FOR US! HE IS THE BEST DISPOSER OF AFFAIRS."} Al-e-imran (The Family of 'Imran, The House of "Imran) Quran 003:173

Good job AAPD. Since a disguise was used in the commission of the crime, based on the photo in the article, it would be interesting to know how they found this thug.

How did the Parole Board conclude that this loser was safe to send back to our community?

Perhaps he might want to consider another line of work.

Wow, what a mug shot! I wonder if he is happy with the way the picture of him came out?

And by what chance is this person on parole? What happened to "habitual offender" incarcerations?

Not overcrowding: deliberate closure of prisons to save money.

If there weren't so many non-violent pot smokers and drug users clogging up the jails and prisons, these creeps would not be kicked out so early. Legalize and tax!

If marijuana were legalized in Michigan, we could finally be rid of those awful "Pure Michigan" commercials because people would be flocking to Michigan from all 4 corners of the nation.

Don't mess with Denny's. There are a lot of people packin' in there, and it might not end well for you.

Michigan spends more on prisons than education. That is a symptom of something gone very wrong.

Also, the state hasn't hired nearly enough probation/parole agents lately.

They say that it is cheaper to parole than keep the criminals locked up.

With the State closing more prisons, where are you going to put them?

The 3 strike rule works in baseball but not in law! Even in baseball you can strike out but you will get to bat again in the next innings... just ask Brandon Inge

Can't believe he was out on the street! With a record like his, it's evident he won't change his habits.

MPRI- the Michigan Prison Re-entry Initiative. Another failed program that the State dumped millions of dollars into.

I think we can all agree parole boards don't work. The criteria used is a joke- say your'e sorry and you can leave. Claim you never did the crime and you stay in until you understand how the system works. Michigan needs a sentance scale like the Feds use and NO parole.
