“Libs like to say that the felons have paid their debt to society. No they haven’t if they haven’t paid fines and court costs.”
Even if they’ve paid fines and court costs, restitution, that is extremely unlikely. Real restitution doesn’t mean just that. Think about the damage just one kid can do who steals a new car, tears it up, runs over a few lightpoles, takes out an electrical transformer or a natural gas feed, any number of high dollar things, and finally plows into somebody’s house. They can cause tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars damage routinely.
None of those costs are ever recouped from the perpetrator. Instead they are cost shifted onto the taxpayer. REAL “restitution” doesn’t mean some administrative fine paid to the government, it means making the people he injured whole again financially. This basic concept has been completely removed from society.
Just throwing the kid in jail, that’s just a further, additional net drain on society. Three hots and a cot, medical care, etc. Incarceration costs big bucks.
DeSantis should run for Rubio’s Senate seat when his first and only term ends in 2022. Rubio runs for Gov. and gets his executive experience and gets THO of the senate.
