I don't know.  But the way the polling is going, LA is going to get a heavy dose of BLM and turn LA into a bigger shitshow than it is.

I’ve been saying it. What is currently happening is exactly what the residents want. I don’t know why that is though.

It's very simple. They're stupid.

Terrible. I don't know what the Portland Freedom Fund is but they should be focusing on bailing out non-violent offenders, not domestic murderers.

Ready the story.  They’re misguided do-gooders just like you.

I think they believe jails and prisons should be abolished altogether. I think everyone here can agree that some people should be locked up their entire lives

I worked in and around prisons for nearly 40 years. They are necessary, and they separate a lot of dangerous people from the general public. Every inmate earned his or her way in somehow. People aren't randomly snatched off the streets and incarcerated.

Lawyer fucked them.

I wonder how much crime would be prevented if plea deals and early releases weren’t a thing.

Not sure what this is based upon. Is the justice system perfect? No. But 99 percent of the inmates who you talk to will tell you that they are innocent, they got railroaded, their lawyer sucked, they took the fall for somebody else, etc. I have heard the same stories for 40 years.

I don't know exactly what those numbers are based on, but they're consistent with a tidal wave of research and voices who have been analyzing the criminal justice system for decades.

America incarcerates people at an astromincally higher rate than every other developed country. Twenty percent of the world's incarcerated people are in the U.S.

Do you honestly believe that every prison inmate belongs there? If so, no offense, but I think your career has understandably hardened you.

If you're in any way interested, an excellent read is The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander. Her emphasis is racial disparities in mass incarceration, but it's an excellent overview of the flaws in the criminal justice system as a whole.

I don't understand the "abolish prisons" movement as it seems entirely idealistic and impractical to me. But I do believe the U.S. criminal justice system is plagued by serious flaws that render it unjust to many, many people.

Taylor, there are over 200,000 unsolved murder, rapes and abductions in the US. I think the criminals are in the lead in terms of imbalanced justice. 

Here is just the murders in DC this year.

I wonder who is responsible for all of these people of color being murdered? If there is a racial disparity it's because there is one regarding murder in urban areas.
