One of the men who opened fire on a crowd of people in Sacramento early Sunday morning, killing six, was a career criminal who was released from prison in February just four years into a 10-year sentence for felony gun and robbery convictions.
The decision, made by California's Department of Corrections, was even made over the strenuous objections of the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office, which submitted a letter saying that the man 'displayed a pattern of criminal behavior' and posed a 'significant' danger to the community.
The alleged shooter, Smiley Martin, was arrested earlier this week at a hospital where he is still recovering from gunshot wounds received during the incident. He faces charges of illegally possessing a machine gun as well as possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, as well as murder, of course.
Two others were also taken into custody including Martin's brother, Dandrae Martin, 26, who himself has an extensive criminal record, having been charged with domestic violence, aggravated assault, criminal damage and marijuana violations. "Smiley and Dandrae are believed to be the two who fired the guns. Smiley posted a live Facebook video of himself brandishing a handgun hours before the shooting. Authorities are trying to determine whether the weapon seen in the video was used in the shooting," the Daily Mail reported. Smiley had been serving a 10-year sentence after being convicted of domestic violence and assault with great bodily injury, according to the Sacramento Bee. According to a letter from the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office to the Board of Parole Hearings on April 29, 2021, Danielle Abildgaard, the deputy district attorney, asked for the California Department of Corrections to deny Smiley's request for early release due to her belief that "he poses a significant, unreasonable risk to the safety of the community." She also stated that Smiley "clearly has little regard for human life and the law," as he had demonstrated a clear pattern of criminal behavior throughout his adult life, having committed several felonies. The letter also noted that Smiley had a number of prior felony convictions for robbery and firearms possession, as well as a previous misdemeanor conviction for providing false information to police. "Inmate Martin has demonstrated repeatedly that he cannot follow the laws, or conditions the court places on him," said the letter. "His history indicates that he will pursue his own personal agenda regardless of the consequences and regulatory restraints placed upon him. "If he is released early, he will continue to break the law," it added. But none of that mattered to the left-wing sycophants on the state DOC. They agreed to Smiley's request and now a half-dozen more Californians are dead. Shouldn't they be responsible for those deaths, considering this thug had another six years left on a prison sentence?
