A decade of mandatory sentencing has reduced crime to almost acceptable levels.
Almost.
Keep that in mind next time you hear somebody suggest the mandatory sentencing laws should be "relaxed".
In California the combination of mandatory sentences and the 3 strikes Prop have had a real impact in reducing crime.
The left wing lunatics about every quarter start whining and telling about someone who stole a package of chips at a 7/11 going to jail for a long time.
The reality is that 3 strikes and mandatory sentences have made most communities in California safer.
This doesn't apply to the cities that voted heavily for al Ghorroid during the last presidential election. Those cities have severe gun laws, coddle the criminals and make good police move to other communities. So their murder, rape, violent assault and robbery rates are still high.
Almost.
Keep that in mind next time you hear somebody suggest the mandatory sentencing laws should be "relaxed".
Will do. Which state are you in? (Do mandatory sentencing laws obtain in all of the states?)
