So we've got at least two situations that create mortal danger that he was convicted of and a bunch of other low-level criminality. The "but all he did was steal hedge clippers" defense is so obviously stupid and dishonest that it's hard to take anyone framing it that way serious. What exactly you should with someone that just keeps robbing people isn't entirely clear to me, but the right answer definitely isn't to just keep letting him out until one of his armed robberies or home invasions ends in maiming or death.Bryant was convicted in 1979 for attempted armed robbery, in 1987 for possession of stolen things, attempted forgery of a check worth $150 in 1989 and for simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling in 1992, all before his 1997 arrest for the failed attempt at stealing the hedge clippers.
