I used to think muguru was the dumbest person I've run into on the internet.

I would like to formally apologize to him.

There are some places in Europe I'd suggest you visit if you truly believe the bolded.

  "some places"?  so there are more than one?  geez, must be secret places...haven't heard of waves of people rushing to live there.  do you need citizenship?  or can you just walk on over like here?

If it took you this long to figure it out, well, I don't know what to say.

You haven't heard of waves of people moving to Europe?  Western Europe has about the same %-age of immigrant population as the United States. Around 15%.

And yes some people have walked there.

  and...they have solved societal problems?  meaning they don't need jails or prisons?  where in europe may this place be?  umm, no, i haven't heard of such a movement.  maybe we could start a new thread on this utopia you and hardy speak of.  this could be ground breaking stuff

Anybody else think Mr. ALM-except-when-attempting-a-coup-then-blue-lives-no-longer-matter should stick to threatening to fire female employees for wanting to shave their head in support of their friend going through cancer because they're just drawing attention themselves and away from precious business?

I can't believe I have to spell this out for you.

Auschwitz, Dachau, Bergen-Belsen.

  I know.  But prosecutors have some leeway in what they charge or downgrade a charge to.  My point is that those who are arrested habitually or commit some type of violent offense should not be let go as easily as some seem to be.  Not all, but many are let out way too easily.  We hear about them on  the news (local news even).  And if you listen to AOC, Talib, Ohmar, etc., they say the the entire carceral system should be abolished.   So yes.  There are some extreme outliers.  The problem is that some of them are in congress.

And before anyone jumps on the whataboutism train, I'm strictly replying to Pak's question about who's saying people shouldn't be locked up.

Could you find some examples of AOC or Omar saying the whole system should be abolished (without, of course, any replacement). Are you really suggesting they're advocating for a system in which murderers are never incarcerated?

As for violent offenders getting out too easily ... we agree! That's one reason why the cash bail system makes no sense. It allows a well-off killer or rapist go free, while a poor shoplifter or drug user sits in jail. Pretrial release should be dependent on the defendant's background and the nature of the offense, not financial means.
And by clearing out the jails of people who really don't need to be there, we create less overcrowding pressure on the system that can often force the release of the truly dangerous.

Equating murderers and rapists (obviously rocket's "some people") with innocents gassed because they were Jewish kinda disqualifies you from judging anyone else's IQ.

I know you're old, so I'll give you a pass.  My comment was directed at the bolded portion.

But, by all means, please defend rocket.  He's a stand up gentleman, and standing along side him is such a good look.  You know, with all his good takes.

Get your head right.

Heh.  I'm not the only one to notice this I guess.

Happened when I was in school too. I'm sure you were concerned then.

There was nothing wrong with his "bolded portion". The "some people" he's talking about are clearly violent criminals, not innocents. Conflating the two is not honest.

If you can't see what was wrong with what he said, you are also beyond hope.

I thought you weren't.  Please prove me wrong.

I have no idea why you thought that. 

[WellsstreetWanderer]

"Plenty of evidence" is one news story? Usually if someone prefaces a statement that way I'd be expecting, you know, actual data.

Maybe there actually is "plenty of evidence", I don't know...but I do know this isn't it.

   So an actual news story isn't evidence.  Wow!  There are daily accounts here in California of such things happening.  DA s are becoming subject to more recall referendums.  I'm all for fairness in treating people who make a mistake but a revolving door for chronic criminals does nobody any good. For example, the LA county sheriff now charges felons in Federal Court rather than local courts to protect the citizens.

One news story isn't "plenty of evidence."  it's a news story.

"Some people are unfit for society" is what you bolded. Guess what? Some people are - they've disqualified themselves. Do you honestly think that mass murderers or violent rapists are fit for society? I bet not any society you want your wife and children to inhabit.

Could "some people are unfit for society" be used as an apology for genocide? Sure. But you know that wasn't the case here. Acting like you don't is dishonest.
