Hillary Clinton Wants to Unite Economic and Criminal Justice Reform

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate, on Wednesday dove into the debate over the death of Freddie Gray, the young black man whose death has triggered days of protests in Baltimore. In her speech at Columbia University, Clinton outlined a broader vision of criminal justice reform.

“What we have seen in Baltimore should indeed--and I think does--tear at our souls,” Clinton said. Her speech strove to put Gray’s death in police custody in the broader context of poverty in Baltimore. Clinton reminded the audience that one out of every three young black men in the city are unable to find work. She noted that while just six miles separate Baltimore’s Roland Park and Hollins Market neighborhoods, a 20-year difference in life expectancy also divides the two. Gray’s death is part of “patterns [that] have become unmistakable,” Clinton said, as she mentioned the names of other black men killed by police across the country: Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice. “We have to come to terms with some hard truths about race and justice in America,” she told the audience to a round of applaus

That means Hillary will have both trials at once.

Might as well require all swimming pools to be sold with pink lemonades.

Economic justice would mean get your stinky little fingers out of the market, except in matters of bare integrity i.e. weights and measures. Let the market do itself justice.

If you want charity, do charity, but make it private please. Don’t tap anybody’s taxes for that.

"If I had to live under these conditions, I'd be rioting too!"
-- Vice President Hubert Humphrey, after the Detroit riots

Those words came back to haunt him in the 1968 election.

Well there you go, Hillary has just locked in the black vote. Though I don’t see how she gets them to the polls.

There is no situation so good that she can’t fix it.

Isn’t that the truth.

That’s a great motto for the Democrat Party too.

The liberal AHOLES will always immediately.....

1. “lament” the violent situation, then....

2. “blame” it on whatever the ‘talking point’ should be.

I suggest a reprise of "I don' feel no ways taaaahrd." That should do it.

Well, ‘old hag’ lets put it this way about what you want:

“Wish in one hand and s___ in the other and see which one gets fuller the fastest”

This ‘old hag’ Clinton needs to go to some island somewhere, never to be seen or heard of again!

Hillary laments the lack of opportunity that leaves a third of black men unemployed. Unfortunately many in this group are unemployable due to their comprehensive lack of skills and education, poor work habits, drug use and trafficking, extensive criminal histories, street gang associations, etc. Surely Hillary knows that no organization — take the Clinton Foundation for example — can maintain credibility with thieves, rapists, liars, and scoundrels on the payroll? Oops...never mind.
