The prosecution of Daniel Penny, the murder of Debrina Kawam by immolation on the NYC subway and the slaughter of Iryna Zarutska pretty much fully turned me against the Democrat/liberal notions of how we should handle public disorder and crime.
Basically, we should be nearly zero tolerance for adult offenders and put people in jail for a long, long time on the first offense. I donโt mean for something like shoplifting. I mean for any violent crime and for repeat offenders who commit property or other crimes. Even for those who are โjustโ harassing or hassling others, we should be pretty punitive. The whole liberal shtick of, โThe poor downtrodden vagrant should get a few free sexual assaults and murders to make him feel betterโ just doesnโt fly with most people. I donโt give a shit what fake racial disparities it causes. As they used to say, if you canโt do the time donโt do the crime. We need to get back to that and away from the liberal nonsense of, โHaving a young woman or two raped and murdered is a small price to pay for a vagrant not to experience a micro-aggression.โ
Getting it wrong by arresting the wrong person sometimes is worth it to avoid animals running loose making the world worse for everyone.
