[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is there this movement to not prosecute crimes or allow some crimes? Why is there a leniency push these last few years? What is driving it? Who supports it? I honestly don’t get how being less tough on crime will help reduce crime. Can some please explain it clearly?[/quote] White Guilt for the mass incarceration of AAs, usually on petty drug possession charges that didn't warrant it, but that's the gist of it.[/quote] White Fear that their property values would plummet if crime became an issue in their gentrified neighborhoods. "That was a car backfire; that was not a gunshot, Shaw is a perfectly safe neighborhood. Oh sh*t, here comes an ambulance. Can we clean up the blood before tomorrow's open house." [/quote]
