Words fail me.

To quote Richard Pryor......”THANK GOD WE GOT PENITENTIARIES!”

[Gen.Blather]

Gosh, that thought was new in the early middle ages. It hasn’t aged well. So, we let psychopaths out because somebody in Africa died? To honor him? Really?

[EEGator]

[Responsibility2nd]

Sounds like a good idea. Only if we release them to South Africa.

[Slings and Arrows]

Wow. Even for a Leftist, that’s stupid.

[Mr. K]

can we release them into your neighborhood?

[areukiddingme1]

Jonathan Alter — Release the prisoners, fine we will give them all your address — Problem solved.

[Mr. K]

can we release them into your neighborhood, Alter?

[Responsibility2nd]

 Speaking to host Al Sharpton, Alter suggested:

So my question tonight, Rev, is can we import that spirit of forgiveness and apply it to the hundreds of thousands of people incarcerated who, for the rest of their lives, you know, will be stigmatized by this. Could we figure out a way to forgive them, maybe expunge some of those records? Release some prisoners who, with three strikes and you're out, you have, you have people who have been there for so many years.

I wonder what Sharpton said in response to this. I'm keeping in mind that Sharpton is stupid and racist to the bone. But even he would have to back off such an insanely idiotic idea.

Right?

Release them around where Alter’s chirrens go to school....And make sure it’s a gun-free zone.

[dfwgator]

Bet you a dollar Mr. Alter lives in a gated community.

[GOPJ]

Let’s start small - 200 violent criminals can be released on the condition they live within 2,000 feet of Jonathan Alter’s home. If Jonathan lives in a single family neighborhood - zoning can be changed so 20 violent criminals can share the same house... I’m sure his neighbors will be thrilled.

[Pollster1]

Those of us who feel compassion toward minorities can have only one caring response: NO!

How could they suggest doing this to the (mostly minority) residents of the (mostly minority) neighborhoods into which these (mostly minority) convicted felons - rapists, murderers, and armed robbers - would be released? Women and children of color would be hardest hit by this racist proposal.

[ColdOne]

Why don’t they just put tires around their necks and light them on fire? Wouldn’t that be a better tribute?

[dfwgator]

THIS JUST IN: Nelson Mandela is still dead.

Yeah, let’s make jokes at a Lefty’s demise for a change.

[MeganC]

So long as the prisoners are all released to The Hamptons I’m all for it.

[LeonardFMason]

Sure Baldy. What is your address? We’ll do a pilot program at your house. You house, feed, clothe, and care for them. PUT UP or SHUT UP.

[RichInOC]

I don’t know what they’re smoking over there, but I...no, actually, I don’t want some. It’s making them say some messed-up stuff.
