    If our legal system was functioning both of these stabbing incidents would not have occurred. Now 2 people are dealing with wounds that should never have occurred. Santivanez is a frequent flyer repeat offender, with over a dozen convictions dating back over a decade, from burglaries, vandalism.DUIs, drug possession, petty theft, drugs while in jail, driving while suspended, receiving stolen property, you get the idea. He was just arrested and released 7 days prior to the first stabbing. We spend most of our police resources re-arresting the same people over and over again only to have our legal system go soft and release them. Until we have meaningful consequences for crimes we’re doomed to being victims to these people again and again.
