[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obama's "criminal justice reform" has already released 6,000 convicted felons onto America's streets.

Convicts - who would otherwise be in prison right now.

And DeBlasio is busy dis-mantling the exact programs that vastly reduced crime in NYC.

So it is no surprise that the crime rate is going up.

We are now led to believe that the solution to increasing crime is simply to "throw money at the problem" ??

This "solution" is utterly stupid.  If this idea is representative of "progressive thinking," then count me out.[/quote]

I know, right?  DeBlasio was clearly responsible for the uptick in crime in DC last year.  [/quote]

Laugh it up.  The dead bodies will pile up at an increasing rate in DC; just as they are in Baltimore. And NYC.  Policies, like elections, have consequences.

But you go on; make jokes.[/quote]

Did you read the article?  In California, when they implemented the program, the homicide and assault rates decreased dramatically.  It may not work as well in DC as it did in CA, but there's no reason to think that the program will result in dead bodies piling up.  More generally, there's no reason to think that DC is like Baltimore or will become like Baltimore.  [/quote]

I don't give a damn how they do it in California.  Paying criminals not to commit crimes is a stupid idea.

You can pay a mobster protection money (extortion) and they will not beat you up.   Same exact thing.

I have a better idea:  arrest, prosecute, and incarcerate.  At least they will not be victimizing the public while they are locked up.[/quote]

Incarceration is not effective, except to continue the cycle. You should know this by now.[/quote]

I have never been victimized by an incarcerated criminal. Have you?

So I beg to differ that incarceration is not effective, as you claim.[/quote]

Are you really that stupid or just like to play stupid?  Majority of the criminals, even the violent ones eventually come out of prison and commit other crimes.  If we can prevent even a few from becoming lifetime law breakers, I think it's worth the money.[/quote]
