The New York Times
This article is about a “three strikes” law that Connecticut Republicans are trying to pass. Under this law, a criminal with three felonies would face life in prison. The author gives two examples of why the Governor wants to pass this law. After reading the two incidents, almost anyone would vote for this law. However, this author is definitely a Democrat because they are against this law. They give examples of why the law would be unacceptable and make a good point. This is a well written article but there is a lot of bias from the author

I think criminals that have been convicted three or more times should have longer punishment, but life in prison is to strict. Prision didn't help them the first two times. They should come up with a better plan to help these criminals.
I think that three felonies is a lot, but the sentence should be just to what they commited. I don't think automatically sentencing them to life in prison is fair or a good way to go about serving justice. Obviously, they didnt learn from the first two times. There should be programs to help them out of their habits instead of just locking them away so they are useless to society.
Even though the author is bias, at least he gives good examples. I like when authors use quotes from credible sources.
