Excerpted on the advice of Admin Moderator. The body of the text goes on to say that this idea is being considered for Cook County Illinois, which includes Chicago.

[Tigerized]

I see. If you’re black, you get a pass.

So much for equal protection under the law. Now it’s dead, too.

Man, they really do want massive civil unrest so they can lower the hammer, don’t they?

[shibumi]

I am posting this to the forum for your comments, because I, for one, am speechless at this incredible abuse of the legal system and the threat it poses to society, should it become ubiquitous.

[Jim Robinson]

Stupid is as stupid does.

[Myrddin]

Sounds like a stupid idea. It violates equal protection by giving criminals of a specified race a pass on responsibility for their criminal acts. You do the crime, you do the time. The legal system is stuck on stupid of late.

[bgill]

That’s racist!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Typical failed liberalism. Never addresses the source of the problem.

Maybe they can "expunge" this speeding ticket I got last week while they're at it.

[chris_bdba]

What a great idea just think a rapist could have his record exponged and then go to work as an orderly in a hospital!*sarcasm*

[Drew68]

It appears this initiative has less to do with "giving blacks a second chance" and more to do with the lack of money available to lock up repeat offenders.

Just wipe the slate clean and hope for the best.

There's going to be a lot of this happening around the country as budgets dry up. Stay armed and keep your head on a swivel! There's a lot of bad guys running loose.

[freespirited]

Changing that dynamic could begin with expunging their criminal records.

I got a better idea for "changing the dynamic." Stop committing crimes.

[Just mythoughts]

Well somebody already successfully expunged our elected Pharaoh’s records. No surprise it would be considered as means and methods to make common.

[I see my hands]

Whites are the largest group. One would think whites would fix things in their favor. Or at least actively secure fairness. I hear them say tough stuff and all. Huh.

[Cyber Liberty]

What could go wrong?

[wildbill]

If this doesn’t work to improve their self-image, I suppose the next step of affirmative action would be to put their criminal records onto whites.

Why you could just pick whites out of the population at random to make it fair(er)and put a criminal record on them, assessing each so many juvie busts, a few minor misdemeanors and then some heavy felonies.

Just look at what that would do to the job market, college applications, and applications to country clubs.

“...East Chicago-based group Working Outside the Walls...”

Anyone remember the movie “Escape From New York”?

I suggest the cretins DO this...but, build a wall AROUND Chicago before you do.

Then, reap what you sow. The rest of us will watch.

[piytar]

Yeah, because giving people a pass on their prior bad behavior always leads to more responsible behavior in the future. /SARC

Liberalism really is a mental illness. It's also known by the terms cognitive dissonance, self-delusion, narcissistic personality disorder, and just plain crazy...

[goldstategop]

Wow... so its not the fault of people who commit crimes, its society’s fault. Every black person in this country is the victim of Da Man.

No one is ever responsible for anything they do. Liberalism 101.

[Free in Texas]

That’s crazy! Think of how many homie’s street creds would be ruined once their rap sheets got cleaned up! Chaos would reign! The bangers would lie down with the Five-O! The Car-jackers would give up their nines! Who’d slap the ho’s? Oh, the horror!/Sarc.

[rockinqsranch]

I looked at TOPICS/KEYWORDS for humor, comedy, satire, but didn’t find it.

This is real. They really did this.

Head shakin’, and spinnin’ I will just move on down the front page for more news.

[Conservative Tsunami]

What the hay? Who needs city jails? Oy, the upkeep and overhead...

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I think we need to have a “reverse” Nobel prize for the most stupid idea ever conceived by humanity. This would get my nomination.
