Please don’t shed any crocodile tears over Brian Balentine, even though he just got sentenced to life in prison for shoplifting five CDs from a Wal-Mart in Conroe.
The dirtbag deserved it.
This wasn’t his first rodeo. He was paroled in 2006 after serving time for killing a Good Samaritan in 1984 who stopped to help him when he appeared to be having car trouble.
That was the state’s first mistake. He should have died in prison of old age.
But we’re a forgiving lot, so we let him out. Unfortunately, Brian proceeded to revert to a life of crime. He broke the law at least three more times before the shoplifting incident.
All were thefts of one kind or another. In the last one, a police officer was slightly injured trying to stop him. It occurred just days after he completed a 30-day jail term in Harris County.
Clearly, ol’ Brian was not going to get on the straight and narrow. He was going to keep breaking the law as long as we let him.
Remember this the next time some serial loser gets put away for a relatively minor offense. After a while, career criminals need to go inside one more time … and stay there.

The loser should never have been out in the first place. A series of judges really must review their priorities with regard to the protection of innocents UNDER THE LAW instead of angling for higher-court appointments.
