IMHO:

Question 1: How many arrests does he have ? 4, 5, 6, 7… or more ?
Question 2: Why is he out on the street ?

That’s a really simple answer…. It’s California. Where prisoners get better healthcare than me, criminals are rewarded for their bad behavior, and law abiding citizens get taxed to death and fined for every little thing.
