This little criminal shot and killed an innocent man. He deserves to have his life ruined, honestly. |
What you fail to understand are that there are some people who cannot be left free in society to pray on innocent people. |
It worked by imprisoning a generation of Black men. Did that solve the overall problem? Nope. Here we are again a generation later. |
Locking people up for petty and non-violent crimes doesn't solve problems. But violent crimes like murder? Well if we lock these criminals up before they can reproduce, yes it'll solve the problem. |
It did work though. And instead of thinking this as a black or white issue, how about we just treat people as individuals. If you commit a crime you go to jail. |
Agreed. Also, there won't be a criminal record or lengthy prison term ruining the lives of the kids who were killed in the crash of a carjacked car, or the 12 year old with 8 prior carjackings who was killed in self-defense by the gun-wielding off-duty security officer. Those kids won't have any records. They're dead. Had they been held responsible for their crimes (especially the 12 yo carjacker) and not left to roam the streets uncorrected, then they might still be alive. |
Actually, we can put all the criminals in jail, and whatever generation they're in will be fine. This is a country of 300 million people -- there's no "destruction" from putting a small percentage of them in jail. But there is "destruction" from letting them roam free and continuing to terrorize other people. |
Do the crime, do the time. I don’t care if you’re 12, 14 or 30. If you’re old enough to take a life, then yours should be behind bars. Soft on crime policies in progressive run cities is what is ruining America. |
