law that only effects a small group is bad law. try taking away eligability for early release if you wish to give violent people longer sentences, but do it for every victim, not just a few victims.

Admin, You are in 2009 not 2001. Sen. Ray Basham (D) has created a very good bill to protect our Seniors from home invasions and other criminal acts, but this should cover the lawful age of 62 (Seniors) on up, and again Senators please support Senator's Ray Basham preposed Senate Bill 392 (Establish enhanced penalty for assault on the Elderly).
