Gosh, that thought was new in the early middle ages. It hasn’t aged well. So, we let psychopaths out because somebody in Africa died? To honor him? Really?

Sounds like a good idea. Only if we release them to South Africa.

More and more in the news of the day, I have to look up to see if any particular story is from the Semi News / Satire site. We're thru the looking glass with the "look squirrel!" - anything to distract us from the Obama tyranny and lawlessness.

 Speaking to host Al Sharpton, Alter suggested:

So my question tonight, Rev, is can we import that spirit of forgiveness and apply it to the hundreds of thousands of people incarcerated who, for the rest of their lives, you know, will be stigmatized by this. Could we figure out a way to forgive them, maybe expunge some of those records? Release some prisoners who, with three strikes and you're out, you have, you have people who have been there for so many years.


I wonder what Sharpton said in response to this. I'm keeping in mind that Sharpton is stupid and racist to the bone. But even he would have to back off such an insanely idiotic idea.

Right?

Release them around where Alter’s chirrens go to school....And make sure it’s a gun-free zone.

“More and more in the news of the day, I have to look up to see if any particular story is from the Semi News / Satire site. “

I read an FR posted article a few years ago with the best ever explanation of why liberals do such crazy, irrational things. Liberals realize that for thousands of years society has done the logical thing and WE’RE STILL NOT IN UTOPIA! Therefore the thing to do is the exact opposite of logical and viola! We’ll be in utopia! (This only makes sense theologically if you don’t believe in God as utopia comes in heaven.) Frankly, I’m guessing heaven will have its little intrigues too, just at a different level and with better music.

How about “necklacing” them instead? That’s also a Mandela legacy.
