New Jersey lawmakers are expected to approve a bill that would release up to 20% of the state’s prison population in an attempt to curb the spread of coronavirus

New Jersey has no coronovirus problem right now. Cases are plummeting, deaths are down to 12 or 13 per day and falling. So the above premise is a lie.

[Veggie Todd]

Catch and Release.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

That Tree of Liberty is getting mighty thirst folks. These Governors and Mayors keep crapping on law-abiding citizens and tell us it’s chocolate.

[Alberta's Child]

This measure has nothing to do with COVID-19. The state is simply bankrupt and is looking for opportunities to save money.

[Georgia Girl 2]

As if it wasn't a crappy enough place now. 😝

[Steely Tom]

It’s the liberal’s dream time.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Anyone who tries to earn a living by operating a gym in NJ is subject to being thrown in jail. Crass hypocrisy.

[Skybird]

But...but...if they wore masks, like everyone on the “outside” is being directed to do, that would stem the tide.

[Iowa Slim]

NJ tries its best to keep firearms out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, though, so it’s OK.

[Pearls Before Swine]

In a more paranoid mood, I might think they were making room in the prisons for future detainees. It’s happened before.

[Amendment10]

Of course the about 3000 prisoners that could be released will each be tested for COVID-19 and released only if they test negative, right?

[BipolarBob]

Give us Barabbas!

[yoe]

Are New Jersey Houses of Worship open?

[mewzilla]

Why not just mask the inmates, hmmmm?

If masks work.

[Alberta's Child]

It’s more likely that the state wants to let all their crooked politicians serving prison time go home in time for Thanksgiving. :-P

[Texas resident]

That is part of the liberals plan. Disarm citizens and then turn criminals loose on the general population. When citizens fight back, they are now the criminals for having evil guns. A version of fast and furious.

[liberalh8ter]

Sowing the seeds of chaos, 24/7. That’s the Democrat party.

[EasySt]

Of course! They have to make room in the prisons for the people that won’t
wear the masks that don’t work.

[HIDEK6]

Someone should warn them that roaming the streets unmasked is justification for locking them up again.
