Just say you hate hispanics and blacks and be done with it.

Nope. I hate white liberals who treat POC like they were pets. Poor, simple creatures who can’t look after themselves without the intervention and guiding white hand reaching down from their ivory tower to care for them, since they can’t take care of themselves. Your polices have destroyed generations of black families. And your soft on crime nonsense has ensured they live in neighborhoods saturated with crime. I’m glad to see the fruits of all your labor coming to bear in your own communities now, too. This is what you have wrought, and now it’s on your doorstep. Good.

You don’t seem to realize that crime was lower in 2019 than 2020.

2019 Homicides: 15
2019 Aggravated Assault: 795
2019 Vehicle Theft: 905

That number of homicides is the highest the county has seen since the 90s.

But here's the thing. People don't experience violence equally. Most of the violence is occurring in small parts of the county -- equity focus areas. So when you "reform" the criminal justice system and take away both enforcement and consequences, you end up hurting African Americans for the most part. And then to a certain extent, Latino residents.

Really? Montgomery County is sun exclusively by Democrats.

Or do you mean the criminals? Maybe, but my guess is that the criminals are voting for the Democrats also.

Bail, jails, and prosecution are not the answer!

We are talking about human beings here. Our own neighbors no less! Don’t they deserve a second chance?

After they served their time or paid their fines. Yes. Otherwise, no.

Agreed, no one is learning an immediate lesson after committing a crime, unless there are consequences. Don't want to be prosecuted or go to jail? Follow the law... somehow the rest of us have figured it out.

And 2022 stats are higher although murder is down. Robberies are up. Shootings are up. There have been 21 shootings in October alone.

Don't. Not that I like them any more than you do, but the guns used in street crime are illegal guns.

I blame the NRA and the gun-toting Republicans.
