New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker, who supports a pending sentencing reform bill that would reduce sentences for violent criminals, wants America to have a “candid conversation” about what violent crimes should be treated as violent crimes.
...
Booker is a supporter of the bipartisan Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act of 2015 (SRCA), which is being pushed by House Speaker Paul Ryan, resident Barack Obama
...
Not likely to be included in this conversation: Victims of crime, such as Army veteran Stanley Carter.
He died after Malcolm B. Benson robbed and shot him at a Detroit bus stop in September 2015. Benson got out of prison early for good behavior after taking a plea deal for second-degree murder and felony use of a firearm and served 19 years. He robbed and murdered Carter only months after his release.
Benson committed his second murder at age 49 — had Michigan’s tougher Truth in Sentencing guidelines that ordered convicts sentenced after 1998 (Benson killed his first victim in 1995) to serve their mandatory minimum sentence been in effect, Benson would have still been incarcerated and Carter would still be alive.
Booker also explained that the SRCA is only the beginning of what the bill’s progressive proponents want: He personally would like to see all mandatory minimum sentencing requirements for criminals sentenced to federal prisons scrapped entirely, leaving sentencing solely up to Obama-appointed judges’ discretions.

Newark is a good place to just pass by on the interstate.
a violent crime isn’t actually violent or a crime if the victim is white.. and the perp is a “person of color”
This is the push of the race baiting president and his ilk.
All about creating justice for the criminal element. Ryan needs his ass kicked out if he gets this approved!
Crime- black job description!
some of these politicians are nucking futs.
And most seem to be obammys people or just a-hole RINOs like Ryan.
Sen. Cory Booker wants a “candid conversation”?
No, you don’t, Cory. You want to lecture white folks. If white folks dared to candidly tell you what they really thought, you would flip out.
Well I am certain the knock out ‘game’ will be one of the first thrown off the violent list, it’s just a game ‘yo, just some boyz blowin’ off steam on some crackas heads. Be cool Mr. Judge. Don’t be judgin’ our culture’s views of fun.
How many violent crimes are actually prosecuted in Federal courts?
Dana PeRino, Eric Bolling, Glenn Beck, SE Cupp, and other “conservatives” are rushing to a meeting with Boooker to discuss this issue.
Said Ms. PeRino:
“I put myself in Corey’s shoes and I can see where he’s coming from. It seems to me some violent crimes are committed “out of love” and Trump supporters need back off on the hateful speech if they expect to win elections going forward.”
Said Mr. Bolling:
“I..I...I...It’s..an...an....an....what’s the word....h...h...h...honor..to...to..to.. be here Dana!”
Said Mr. Beck:
“Mmmmmphhhh - Cheetos.....”
Said Ms. Cupp:
“If it wasn’t for Trump and his idiot supporters there would be no violent crime!”

Booker believes that UNTIL Booker is assaulted.
FUCB!
How’s that for “candid”?
Shoot a veteran - oh, that's not a violent crime.
WTF is wrong with these people? Seriously?
Booker T, and that other numbnuts, DEVAL Patrick have been floated as possible VPOTUS candidates for hillary.
Booker is sucking up to the black “community” by borrowing from that old Four Tops hit, “Ball of Confusion”,...”Vote for me and I’ll set you free!”
You mean like drug dealers killing one another over turf? No harm, no foul? I can live with that.
Satanic ideology. Right is wrong, wrong is right. Perversion is a sacrament, righteousness is evil.
Why do you think they love Mohammadans ?
People that commit violent crimes are apprehended and sentenced to prison in order to keep them and their own family members safe from retaliation by the Family of their victims. Don’t believe me? Let them out and see.
And in Corry’s world, what euphemism would he use, “uncomfortable events”? Friggin’ ass hat!
DFW has already done this, and it has flown under the radar. Therefore in our brave new world, it can be considered a success.
Liberals never want a “Conversation”, they want to lecture us.
