Democrats will never run out of excuses for criminals. They drone on about "racism," "root causes," "poverty," "drug addiction," "mental illness," "learning disabilities," "he made a mistake" and "prison doesn't work". It's not the government's job to probe criminals' psyches.
At the New York gubernatorial debate last week, feisty Republican challenger Rep. Lee Zeldin hit Gov. Kathy Hochul on the crime wave engulfing New York. Finally, he said, "We're halfway through the debate, she still hasn't talked about locking up anyone committing any crimes."
- In a city where citizens are afraid to leave their homes because of crime, she responded by saying, "Anyone who commits a crime under our laws, especially with the change we made to bail, has consequences." "Has consequences" is progressive code for "restorative justice." In lieu of actual punishment, the criminal will be required to write a letter to the victim, hug it out or attend a family "mediation."
The purpose of the criminal justice system is to lock up bad guys, not to allow liberals to feel good about themselves
- Separate criminals from the law-abiding is the government's most basic responsibility
- It's also the only government program where liberals suddenly become hard-nosed fiscal conservatives
- In just this one case, we get detailed breakdowns of the cost of prison
- How much do public schools cost?
- The cost of subsidized housing for able-bodied (but nonworking) Americans?
