Regarding the NY candidate, that is quite scary. Who is the GOP nominee? I assume the Dem is well ahead. I guess if he wins it means the people of NYS are not really the least bit concerned about crime.
Same in MA. When crime goes up and prisoners get more rights than victims, no one who voted for Patrick has a right to complain.
Not the folks Downstate, anyway. The diff between NYS and MA, though, is that NYS has mostly red counties. Last I knew, MA didn't have a one.
Don't you see, if (when) that happens it'll be the Feds fault for not sending enough money.
