Re: your Aug. 28 article, "Judge struggles with sentence for robber of ice cream vendor":
Ventura County Superior Court Judge Alan Steele is not qualified to "judge" if he agonizes over appropriate punishment for Jason Rodriguez. The judges in our justice system need to wake up to the fact that they represent the last line of defense for us disarmed and law-abiding sheep. Rodriguez has amply demonstrated that he does not belong in a civilized society. He is a waste of oxygen and space. Lock him up and throw away the key.
