Fair point. Jails and prisons represent an improvement in one’s standard of living. Especially in Communist strongholds like Nuevo York and Aztlan. I mean Commiefornia.
Just cut off their hand or kill them on the spot.....
He’s going to lose.
Uh...keeping society safe from criminals?
Making ones realize there will be consequences for disobeying the laws that protect society?
Gosh, Zohran, I thought it was done to protect the general population from them.
Serious question: Does he do drugs?
Well then he would be ok with criminals staying at his house then and dating his daughter. Their rhetoric falls apart when it applies to THEM.
exactly, eiter you lock them away from all the good people, or you excile them, or you execute them.
Those are the only options.
Because saying you shouldn’t do that, and letting them go isn’t an option!
They keep thieves ,rapists,kidie didlers &other anti social types under lock & key instead of running amok on the streets
exactly!
liberals NEVER apply what they push to themselves!
They LOVE stealing money from OTHERS to give to the poor or whoever, but will fight tooth and nail if you try to take money from them to do it!
As I understand it, the origin of prisons came from exiling people. However, in landlocked areas there was no way to keep people out, so the idea of exiling people turned into prisons.
We should exile some of our criminals to Canada!
What a monster.
Keeping thugs separated from law abiding citizens is enough reason in my book.
If they were to abolish prisons and jail for everyone, I could have one hell of a time taking care of business. I mean think about it, the good upstanding people in this country, without the threat of being arrested or doing jail or prison time, could clean the vermin from this land.
He’s going to lose.
Did you catch the girl agreeing and clapping when he asked “What purpose do [prisons] serve?”
Frankly, you have to be either totally delusion or have the IQ of a carrot if you can’t answer that question.
Nah, they would still have prisons for otherwise law-abiding citizens trying to defend themselves.
In fact, that may be the only answer to the question that Mamdani agrees with.
