You get mad when I point out that violent crimes account for most of felonies and not MUH DRUG LAWS.



This is what dating apps look like in 2021.


why would i get mad when i learned that 10 years ago in undergrad?

drug felonies being only a minority of felony arrests and imprisonment doesn't serve as a defense for the war on drugs. we're still wasting a lot of money.

Not only that - a lot of violent felonies are the result of people having had their life destroyed by a drug sentence when they were young. Imprisonment sets people up for future failure and crime, particularly those coming from a weak socioeconomic background who don't have strong connections or families to fall back on after release. Throwing people into prison over minor drug offences breeds further crime rather than preventing it.

I'm pretty sure some other less sentient species would be capable of making a living wage working 50/hrs a week at an Amazon warehouse. There are places for ex-cons.

I've known undocumented alien friends from youth who found jobs in sanctuary states. You're literally being an apologist.

Yea, you're never going to be as rich as you were before. And most businesses just straight up won't hire you. But there are options. In general, everyone's first job underpays them.

We need to stop encouraging these toddlers.

This just doesn't happen in any other community.

People inside prison saying things that encourage said people to keep being criminals.

Who would ever expect such a thing.

the idea that leftists aren't also mad about crime stats in black communities is one of the lazier fallacies among right wingers.

idiots think saying "black on black crime" is owning the libs. when in reality lefties see black crime as a result of nothing more than failure of the system.

im in the middle of course and see both cultural issues with the black population and societal issues, but its still a moronic talking point when its presented as a trump card.


who mentioned blacks? lmao.

that is absolutely true. we have statistics to back it up. 13% of the population commits 50% of the murders. especially on each other. and that's just for murders.

what I did not understand is how snipa said it's blacks when no one mentioned skin color?

it's fun for racists to point out that without blacks, america has less gun crime than canada

but acknowledging that without context and solutions is pointless
