What about bookmaking, collecting, putting money out on the street at 3 points a week...

Are they just talking violent crimes or everything?

They need to clarify.

Absolutely right.

Criminals have their part to play. They need to defer their crimes until after the storm has passed.

We can all rest assured that criminals will respond maturely and sensibly.

Note to criminals, this cessation of crime included a temporary end to gun violence...so adjust your behavior accordingly.

Why NOT?

YOU told everyone to stay home and imposed a curfew.

YOU aren’t allowing me to conduct my chosen profession of selling drugs and mugging people so you now owe me.

Geeeeezzzzzz

So, we have nothing to worry about as liberals empty the jails.

That’s a relief.

Imagine that.Criminals taking the day off from committing crimes and Police Officers just sitting in their patrol vehicles listening to the radio killing time.

What a wonderful world that could be.

Criminals will see this as an opportunity to loot and pillage, just like they do every natural disaster.

I’m thinking that if, instead of emptying the jails, the cops promised to quarantine prisoners there until the outbreak is over, we’d have a lot less crime...

Maybe they could kindly ask that all criminals obey all the time.
