‘A small but troubling number of state and local prosecutors are vowing that they will not enforce entire categories of core criminal offenses, as part of a misguided experiment in “social justice reform.”’
And in the cities that have allowed that, the crime rate has sky rocketed....what a surprise.
We are all aware of the corrupt cop as stereotyped in media. They do exist. But often a good decent cop will bust someone for something small because they believe that person has done something much worse and may do it again. Better to get them removed from society even for a short while. This progressive “zero zero tolerance” view of the crime is jaded. Take each case as they come. I’d rather see an armed robber taken off the street for a year and a $10,000 fine for public urination, than let him walk around because they don’t want to prosecute homeless people.
Qualifying the word “justice” with words like “social” or “economic” or “climate” defines a qualified, incomplete sort of justice. “Qualified justice” is an oxymoron.
If citizens perceive that they will not receive fair justice in the courtrooms and legal retribution for horrible crimes, then those citizens may decide to take the law into their own hands.
Our early history in the old west is full of vigilante groups who believed justice was not being meted out.
In Texas, now, the Left controls not only most of the big cities, but also the counties that contain those cities.
And given the discretion that prosecutors have, having the Left control that process is great if you are an ethnic who lives in LaHood and you’re into robbing, assault, and rape. However, if you from the ‘oppressing class’ (i.e., white) and you make even a minor mistake, you could be looking at years in jail.
It is for that reason that I’ve told my kids to STAY CLEAR of these counties and simply live outside them - in red counties. That way if, for example, you have a shoot a guy who’s about to rape your daughter, he goes to jail (assuming he lives) and not you. It’s really that simple.
George S0r0s. We have one here - arbitrarily suspended the death penalty. Also the Chicago prosecutor in the Jussie Smolett case. S0r0s has spent millions getting these misfits elected all around... anything to weaken the United States.
Social justice is a program to label and eliminate the justice system in this country as unfair and racist. Many states are opening their jails, removing bail, allowing those who should be locked up free to return to their communities and their life of crime. Would you press charges if you knew the government did not have your back and the perp will be out the next day?
