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 don’t 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 “just” harassing or hassling others, we should be pretty punitive. The whole liberal shtick of, “The poor downtrodden vagrant should get a few free sexual assaults and murders to make him feel better” just doesn’t fly with most people. I don’t give a shit what fake racial disparities it causes. As they used to say, if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime. We need to get back to that and away from the liberal nonsense of, “Having a young woman or two raped and murdered is a small price to pay for a vagrant not to experience a micro-aggression.”
Getting it wrong by arresting the wrong person sometimes is worth it to avoid animals running loose making the world worse for everyone.
