So her “champion of the middle class” slogan has fallen flat. Now her winning slogan for 2016 will be “let all the black criminals out of prison.”

The easiest way to increase crime in poor neighborhoods is to keep the criminals out of jail.
Perhaps they should focus on changing the behavior of the criminals rather than simply looking the other way.
"YOU'RE OUT OF ORDER..THEY'RE OUT OF ORDER!!!!"
(BTW that movie took place in Baltimore)
Heck, it's hard to get INTO prison nowdays without committing a violent crime.
That said, why does nobody in the media question these platitudes?
Why not just ask: When somebody commits a violent crime, if not prison, what should society do?
Are there particular FEDERAL crimes you would remove from the books? As you know the overwhelming majority of prison time is served in STATE prison for the violation of STATE crimes.
Should the Federal government dictate to the states what actions are crimes and what the punishments would be?
I don't agree.
The problem is there are too many crimes. And, the penalty for those crimes is far, far too lenient.
Like Richard Pryor said, “Thank God We Got Penitentiaries.”
