Here is a story that will make you want to scream into a pillow until you pass out. It comes from Australia, specifically New South Wales. It is a perfect example of why the human race is doomed and why our systems are built by absolute morons.

Here is the short version: A guy named Julian Ingram, who also goes by "Hoolio," is on the run. The police want him because three people are dead. Shot to death. One of them was a pregnant woman. Another person was hurt bad. It happened in a place called Lake Cargelligo. Now, everyone in the town is hiding inside their houses because this guy is "armed and dangerous."

That is tragic. It is awful. But that is not the part that makes my blood boil. The part that makes me want to throw a chair through a window is this: Julian Ingram was already in trouble. He was out on bail. Do you know what he was on bail for? Domestic violence charges.

Let’s stop and think about that for a second with our tiny little brains. The justice system had this guy. They looked at him and said, "Hey, we think you hurt people in your home. That is very bad. But tell you what, promise to be nice and we will let you go for a bit." And he said, "Sure thing, judge." And they let him go. And now three people are dead.

This is not just an Australian problem. This happens everywhere. It is the universal stupidity of the "justice" system. We have this idea called bail. The idea is that you are innocent until proven guilty. Sure, that sounds nice in a textbook. It sounds nice when you are sitting in a law school classroom pretending the world is a happy place. But in the real world? It is a joke.

When someone is accused of violence—real, angry violence against their family—why do we let them walk out the door? What do we think is going to happen? Do we think they go home, make a cup of tea, and meditate on their life choices? No. They go home and get angrier. They stew. They get a gun.

Now we have a manhunt. The police are using all their toys. Helicopters, tactical teams, big trucks. They are telling people, "Stay inside! Don't open the door!" It is a terrifying action movie for the people living there. But it is a movie that didn't need to be made. We wrote the script for this weeks ago when a judge banged a gavel and let a violent man walk free.

Domestic violence is the biggest red flag in the world. Ask any cop who is actually honest with you. They will tell you that the guys who beat their partners are the ones who end up killing people. It is not a secret. It is not a mystery. It is a fact. But the courts treat it like a minor mistake. Like a parking ticket. "Oh, you hit someone? Naughty boy. Go home and don't do it again."

So now, a pregnant woman is dead. A baby that never got to be born is dead. Two other people are gone. And for what? So we could pretend we have a fair system? Who was it fair to? Was it fair to the victims? No. It was only fair to the criminal.

People love to talk about "rights." The suspect has rights. He has the right to be free until his trial. Well, what about the right of that woman to not get shot? Does that count? Apparently not. Apparently, her right to live is less important than his right to walk around town.

Now the politicians will come out. They will wear nice suits. They will look sad. They will say things like, "This is a tragedy," and "Our thoughts are with the families." They might even say, "We need to look at the bail laws." They say that every time. Every single time this happens, they act shocked. They act like nobody could have seen this coming.

But I saw it coming. You saw it coming. Anyone with eyes and a brain saw it coming. If you let a violent dog off the leash, it bites someone. If you let a violent man out of jail, he hurts someone. It is simple math.

Julian "Hoolio" Ingram is out there somewhere right now, unless the cops found him while I was writing this. The locals are terrified. The families are broken forever. And the rest of us are just sitting here, reading the news on our phones, shaking our heads. We aren't surprised. We are just tired. We are tired of a world that protects the wolves and then acts confused when the sheep get eaten.

So, here is my advice to the people of New South Wales: Lock your doors. But also, remember this the next time someone tells you the justice system works. It doesn't work. It is broken. It is designed to fail. And until we stop trusting violent people to "be good," more people are going to die. It is grim, it is cynical, and it is the absolute truth.
