I know, such a silly question that is. The Other McCain looks at the history of Democrats and “criminal justice reform. It is a history of fake compassion and terrible results
When Democrats embraced “criminal justice reform,” the consequences were predictable, especially to anyone who remembers the 1970s, an era of lawlessness that inspired movies like Dirty Harry and Death Wish. The basic idea behind New York’s misguided 2019 “bail reform” law was that it was racist to keep suspects locked up before trial unless they could find someone to post their bail. Why was it racist? “Disparate impact” — i.e., because more black and Hispanic suspects than whites were kept in jail. This is an interesting theory, but the Democrats who insisted on changing the law, to release most suspects without requiring cash bail, apparently didn’t stop to consider all the possible ramifications of this so-called “reform.” There has been a dramatic increase in violent crime which has been particularly harmful to blacks and Hispanics, there very people on whose behalf the “reform” was promoted, reminding us of what Ronald Reagan said: “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
Of course Lee Zeldin, a United States Congressman and a candidate for governor was attacked this past weekend, and the man, armed with a deadly weapon was arrested and promptly released, without bail, That is the smart power of New York. The feds have since arrested the attacker, because attacking a member of Congress is a federal crime. But if e had attacked any regular person, he would be out walking around, because Democrats CARE!
