"chicago is the real danger" - GOP
"ok so like can we fix that" - DNC
"ummmmm, u guys dont want to fix it, then they'll vote for us" - GOP
"ok we'll take that deal, now fix the inner city. maybe housing projects? increased school funding? gun buybacks? reduced sentencing guidelines and restorative justice programs?" - DNC
"lol no those dont work, but we can offer spamming the number dead on twitter" - GOP
Except most of these "solutions" put forth by the DNC are actually making the issue worse and
causing the violence epidemic in inner cities.
Every single day I get to see accounts of career criminals with 10-20 felonies under their belt being picked up for more violent crimes and immediately turned around and let loose again through the revolving door justice system of "reduced sentencing guidelines" and "restorative justice programs". For the latest example, on Tuesday a woman was nearly killed by an attacker who slashed her face with a beer bottle and severed an artery. The attacker got charged with three counts of criminal sexual assault, criminal use of a weapon, 2nd degree assault. Then we find out that same attacker had been arrested on felonies three times in the past month, let alone the lengthy criminal history.
Is the solution really more subsidized housing that creates a ghetto underclass of welfare recipients? Why is it that the high school I went to, academically one of the best in the entire nation, has significantly less spending per student than the inner city shithole high schools with 0-20% math/reading proficiency and graduation rates? And heck, we're in a thread about mass shootings, we've already seen multiple school shooters in the past few years alone who had their red flags ignored and went on to shoot fellow students
because of restorative justice programs and the Obama administration leaning on schools to "end the school to prison pipeline".
If the building is on fire, I want to call the firemen to put it out, not more arsonists
