AOC, the brilliant sociologist weighs in. Such wisdom /s. I remember when I had all the answers to society’s problems. I was probably 18 or 19.

There are sociopaths. It is a real thing. They cannot be around the public at large because they can be dangerous. It has nothing to do with “locking up people of color”. Let this guy out and look what he did. Some people should be in prison. Unfortunately many are black, and that looks bad to a stupid mouthy leftist. (AOC)

Our ancestors had a just and sensible alternative to incarceration. It involve the use of a noose.

Ocasio-Cortez is stupider than dirt. I’ve known earthworms with more intelligence.

“explore just alternatives to incarceration’”

I agree with Occasional Cortex.

Execution, not incarceration.
