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]

“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.”

We need to acknowledge that a random black person is ten times more likely to have committed murder than a random white person.

I love how Soros attacks the “problem” from the wrong direction. If he is serious about criminal justice reform, that process starts by sunsetting the sheer number of statutes and regulations that can result in jail time. There are so many thou-shalt-nots that law enforcement and the Courts can pick and choose which ones to enforce, and against whom.

Remember, when the 2018 Election was coming up the RNC never told us that Soros was funding these DAs and what they’d do.

Because you don’t live where you’ll feel the effects?

Right, but way, way wrong.
Fighting for justice from the wrong end there Georgy Boy.

100,000 US factories off-shored- used to be that hard work could get a troubled kid a job with a living wage and future.

Flood of ILLEGAL invaders - taking those rough, first step jobs, or taking over whole service industries, that low-rent housing, and overwhelm “free’ low-income public services.

Rat Run Schools have abandoned teaching, training and civics.

The intentional destruction of sound money-

Grievance Culture pushed by Race Pimps have clouded the minds of young men.

so . . . no schooling, no jobs, no wealth, crappy neighborhoods, and a constant media barrage of RAYCISSMMMMM!

Do that to ANY group, and the Ties that Bind folks to a Community get severed.

I think we should avoid “random.” It is obvious that there is a higher percentage of blacks that commit crime. Using random implies that any black is likely to be criminal while there are plenty of honest blacks just like there’s a majority of all racial and ethnic groups that are honest. The exception is Democrat politicians as we all know.

Every sentence is a study in cynicism and unconscious irony:

Like most of us, I'm concerned about crime.
(and as a criminal I am more intimately familiar with the issue)
One of government's most important roles is to ensure public safety.
(to protect you all from yourselves, 'cause hell, I never could tell you apart)
I have been involved in efforts to reform the criminal-justice system for the more than 30 years I have been a philanthropist.
( I was robbing you for your own good )

yet our (my) system is rife with injustices that make us all less safe.
(the margins of this chart are too ragged)
The idea that we need to choose between justice and safety is false. They reinforce each other:
(swivel one lever a little and the other will automatically adjust! Amazing!)
If people trust the justice system, it will work.
(Sit the F^*@ down and shutup!)
And if the system works, public safety will improve.

The floggings will continue until moral improves.

Soros was a teenage KAPO (a Jew who aided the Nazis either to save themselves or for gain). Soros was a KAPO who tried to atone for his crimes and actually aided the Hungarian Revolution movement but later decided to become a James Bond type evil world dominator.

He will support .mainly far-left causes and individuals (I.e. the DAs and other legal activists/officials and destructive anti-American groups all over the world).
