FROM THE ARTICLE: Why I Support Reform Prosecutors
Justice or safety? It’s a false choice. They reinforce each other. \ By George Soros
Americans desperately need a more thoughtful discussion about our response to crime. People have had enough of the demagoguery and divisive partisan attacks that dominate the debate and obscure the issues.
Like most of us, I'm concerned about crime. One of government's most important roles is to ensure public safety. I have been involved in efforts to reform the criminal-justice system for the more than 30 years I have been a philanthropist.
Yet our system is rife with injustices... [snip]
The Guest Op Ed by Soros in the WSJ shows the open dialogue allowed on the conservative (so called) side of the spectrum. DJT does not get a similar forum.
Soros is not being open about his state office campaigns in general -- the SOS office runs etc.
“Our” system?
Really, S0r0$?
You’re still a Nazi.
Where does Soros get off saying “our” justice system? Is he talking about the one he’s paid for? The system that now allows hardened criminals back out on the streets more quickly so they can kill and rob again?
Keep in mind that Soros is a convicted criminal. He tried to bankrupt the UK using highly illegal means.
This former NAZI child capo needs to shuffle off the scene.
What moron is supporting so-called ‘reformer justice’ prosecutors who are letting our cities be destroyed?!
[checks author]
Oh... of course... The guy who spent his billions to make it happen and has also claimed he wants America destroyed.
Soros…..
“Because I’m a Nazi and China is paying me to weaken and destroy the US.”
Soro exit from America and take your money with you! We do not need you here! You are not an American.
justice and safety do go together, except opposite of the way Soros thinks.
Less law enforcement results in an increase in crime. Eventually, the city becomes unlivable.
Hair-heads, like Rousseau, believe man is naturally good, and civilization coarsens him. They call it the noble savage.
No. The proper reference is Hobbs. Without law, life is short and brutish.
Yep.
He isn’t very open about how he spends hundreds of millions of his dollars recruiting and paying for the campaigns of Prosecutors, Secretary of State(s) and other select office holders at the state level.
Looks like Ukraine and other places for sale.
My first thought as well. “Our” system is likely better than the one he sent his fellow Hungarians to during WW 2. “All aboard the Holiday Express!” Right george? You can phu cough! 🤬
The exit journey to be effective must be to a grave
No man alive has done more harm to the American nation and the American people than George Soros.
“We need to acknowledge that black people in the U.S. are five times as likely to be sent to jail as white people. That is an injustice that undermines our democracy.”
The above state shows the key error in Soros thought process.
Like Obama he is fixated on “disparate results”.
In the case of crime, Soros ignores disparate causes. Were it not for the higher, disproportionate rates of various crimes committed by black persons, there would not be the higher proportionate rate of black persons sent to jail. The jail rate is a result of a disparity in crime, not a refelection of a “unjust” cause.
Soros and his prosecutors think they can fix things merely by rigging the arrest numbers so fewer black persons go to jail. It is no different than how colleges try to “fix” admissions rates by lowering admissions standards. In both case the problem begins down below where the “progressive” “solutions” they are attempting to provide. With crime the solutions neeed are in the community and social factors among it - rates of out of wedlock births, rates of single parent female headed households in poverty, and similar issues. In education the problem is in K-12 education systems (also partly affected by the social factors relating to crime), not the college admissions standards.
Rich liberal globalist elite billionaire talking down to us American rubes. We’re practically savages compared to the much more sophisticated international citizens.
If the last hundred years has taught us anything, it’s that the “experts” have no idea how to stop criminals from being created, or, once in existence, how to “rehabilitate” or “reform” them.
The best place for a violent criminal is either behind bars or on the gibbet. Maybe the best place for a lot of experts, too, since they seem to have no more regard for the safety of society or human life than their criminal pets.
Hey George,
Go live in Englewood or Lawndale for a month, and then get back to me.
My precis....
We must kiss black ass
I would agree Georgi. One of the biggest injustices is that you are running around free.
Somebody actually GAS what Georgie Soros thinks? That’s what is destroying “democracy” in this country.
