Gile's family were very vocal to the local media and said Starr should never be released.
They were tormented by gangsters in the middle of the night afterward. Off duty police officers were volunteering to watch the house while they slept. Jeff's mom had to quit her job at The Bay downtown because they would show up and threaten her at work. Jeff's brother made regular appearances on the AM radio talk shows demanding changes to the justice system until the rest of the family convinced him to stop.
None of it did any good. I don't know what should be done with him, but clearly he's just one in a crowd, and not the source of the problem. They are a cancer of our society and we need to deal with the root of the problem.

having lived and worked in a fly in community, I've seen that retribution and vengance are just as much a part of their culture as it is of any other culture whether it's Chinese, Israeli, WASP, Somali or any other culture. To say otherwise is pure unadulterated bullshit from the ignorant
It's ignorant bullshit to say we should set a higher standard for ourselves than we do for others?
Not really, setting a lower standards for others is called tolerance.

Which should be reserved for those who do not have the ability to comprehend their actions.
Being any kind of addict in no way excuses one from personal responsibility.
