However, I do not live in that city.
Since this is what the voters of that city have chosen, I have to respect their choice.
That is a straw man.
No halfway intelligent person, in any society, has thought that arrests and prosecutions would end all crime. The purpose is to bring those that you can to account, remove them from society for a while and hopefully deter them and others from committing crimes. It is nearly guaranteed that an inmate won't commit any crimes in general society.
It reduces crime in those ways. Not pursuing justice guarantees that crime will grow exponentially. Ending all crime is an insane fantasy promulgated by con men.
What a schwantz.
The criminals want easy money. When getting caught and jail time, the idea of easy money sails out the window.
Is shooting them dead in their tracks while they’re in the middle of committing a crime an option? Asking for a friend.
If the majority of a city is composed of mentally deranged but functioning people who voted to abolish jails for criminals, is it put into action?
This is what DC has become, an insane majority of leftist prosecutors and judges who keep DC a killing ground, on purpose.
Glad I got out of there. Even my son who was a federal police officer (still doing national security work) wants to get out as soon as his term of service ends.
PS: He was a combat soldier in Iraq in a company that was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation for combat operations that helped end the war. DC is a ( criminal) war zone just like Iraq was.
Wayfortunately, I agree. Way too late to arrest prosecute and jail their way out of it. Fifteen years ago they might have been able to.
Take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way now.
In other words: Enforcing the Law is useless.
