Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 24, 1994
Modoc, CA, a quiet town, is now up in arms. Melvin Carter, who admitted to raping 100 women, was released and is now in their midst. Prison officials said Carter was released for his good behavior, for being a model prisoner, and that Carter deserved a chance. Carter deserved a chance? What about the hundred victims, Mr. Speaker? Did any of them get a chance from Carter? There is something wrong in America when admitted rapists are turned loose for 'good behavior' but the victims of the assaults and crimes are forgotten. I say to the Members of Congress, we can talk about crime all we want, but the truth is, communities like Modoc, CA, have had it. And I do not blame them. This guy Carter should be in jail, period. A little common sense would help out as much as maybe a crime bill.
