Nothing new with this garbage. They’ve been spewing it for decades. Yet one more case of wanting it both ways. They decry rampant crime in the black community. One way to ensure there is less of it is to lock up the criminals! Duh. But then the criminal coddlers scream that too many men are locked up, because of Bush. If it weren’t so tragic it would almost be comical.
If Clinton or Obama are president next year, and the percentage of people in jail remains close to what it is now (which seems likely in any case) will they still be screaming about America locking up so many guys??
New project for America. To Hell with the infrastructer problems, let’s clean up our major cities, bulldoze the ghettos, hire all these jobless, uneducated losers for the stoop labor they might be capable of, and get on with things. The alternative choice for these people is military service, which would involve a real education for the first couple years, then military training. Those incarcerated for minor crimes should have an opportunity to change their lives. Surprisingly, it would cost less in real dollars. Since the serious welfare state began in 1964 with the signing of legislation to help the blacks like we helped the Indians, this has all been downhill. We haven’t learned a damn thing, and we might elect a new leader to continue down this path. If ever there was a wake-up call, it is so loud, it is deafening! I still believe there is some leadership in this country, and what is holding them back is the biggest mystery of all. You could take any CEO from the top 500 corporations in this country and they could do a better job. Same goes for governors and mayors of large cities. So, what is the problem? The mob thinks it knows best.
