Narrative:
I feel aircraft xyz was flown in an unsafe condition on flight abc bjx (leon, mexico) to dfw. On the previous flight XXX, the captain wrote up 'left window heat went inoperative at FL350 followed by outer pane cracking.' the aircraft departed bjx on flight abc to dfw with no action. Taken, or inspection by maintenance, the captain's windshield was shattered with a long burn or arced line along the entire bottom edge of the window. This condition extremely obscured the view from the captain's position.
