Huckabee clearly has a problem with “getting his point across” then.
If he believes there’s a problem with the length of sentences and their effects on criminal behavior then he should have advocated for change rather than playing God and letting evil loose among us.
Exactly. If sentencing is a problem fix sentencing. If prison conditions are a problem fix prison conditions. In any case it is a false dichotomy to blame criminal behavior on “the system.” The reason people end up in jail is as a consequence of their actions. It is bassackwards to then use those consequences as a reason to excuse even more deviant behavior. That isn’t compassion that’s a neurosis.
