Conservatives Oppose Mass Criminal Release
AIM ^ | February 1, 2016 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 02/01/2016 6:50:03 AM PST by detective

With the presidential race the focus of most of the media attention, a major division among Senate Republicans over so-called "criminal justice reform" has gotten little attention. But the liberal media are now beginning to notice that conservatives are mounting a campaign to stop a piece of legislation that has been advertised as a major part of President Obama's left-wing legacy.

The Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act (S. 2123) would release thousands of criminals back on the streets at a time of rising crime rates, in the name of reducing what liberals call "mass incarceration."

This has been covered up by the politicians and the MSM. The Obama administration and the Democrats are pushing a bill through Congress that would release thousands of convicted criminals. Some Republicans are going along.

This is probably so the criminals can be released to commit more “gun violence.” The Democrats will use the spike in crime as a justification for gun control.

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

— Ecclesiastes 8:11
Godless leftists debauching morals, and they pretend that so-called “mass incarceration” is not the result of that.

Considering ‘prison’ doesn’t even attempt to right the wrong to whomever/society, let alone ‘reform’ the individual, I say: So what?

I only hope the State for which they attempt their next crime is a carry State, where a Citizen takes out the trash.

IMO, Courts have RUINED this once fine country. Gone are the HARD-labor, chain-gangs. Punishment that most came out saying, “I’m NEVER going back again!”.

Just look at the push-back Sheriff Joe gets for his tent city! Pu$$y, compared to what I’d give ‘em! Then I’d be spending my time and taxpayer $$ defending every damn action.

Lawyers. Shakespeare was right

Thanks to 0 and the dems, these newly-released convicts will have a hard time finding a job. Many will return to a life of crime. Of course, the media will not blame 0 and the dems for that.

...would release thousands of criminals back on the streets at a time of rising crime rates, in the name of reducing what liberals call "mass incarceration."

I take issue with that. By just about any statistic you care to name crime rates - particularly violent crime rates - in the US have been decreasing more or less steadily since about 1990.

Now, the correlation here is that oddly enough, incarceration rates started increasing right around the same time. Hmmm... We started putting more criminals in jail, and crime rates started dropping... Wonder if there is a causal relationship there?

Of course, the liberal "logic" or response to this is "gee, lets let a bunch of criminals out of jail." I think people are waking up to the fact that we are far safer right now than we were back in the 70s and 80s. Of course, the liberals need fear-mongering to push through their agenda on emotional terms. Even the sheeple that feed at the MSM trough are twigging onto the lower crime rates... The liberals need help, they need more crime to instill more fear...

Obama has done everything possible to start the race war. He’s probably decided he needs these prisoners to get it started.

Perhaps there are specific reasons some leaders want to release so many criminals...and it is not race nor budget constraints nor a heart of kindness for criminals or their families:

In case you wondered how far up in leadership this view goes:

http://www.clarionproject.org/analysis/obama-visit-us-mosque-tied-extremism

Realize, Islam is not a religion but a evil political system created with a stated goal to dominate ALL civilizations to bring them under Sharia law which is the written code of how to apply the Islamic teachings found in its trilogy of Koran (64% political and 9% Jihad), Hadith (37% political and 21% Jihad) and Sira (81% political and 67% Jihad) pointing to their prophet.

In this context religion involves people’s relation and activities between themselves and their god. Political involves their relationship and activities towards people outside their faith which includes non-believing Muslims who do not adhere to Islamic teachings and are considered apostate or unbelievers (Kafirs: the lowest form of life and cursed by Allah) by good Muslims just like Jews and Christians and Hindus etc. are Kafirs.

An American scientist breaks down Islamic teaching by clarifying what it teaches and its goals etc. in very short videos:

A running scorecard of Islamic violence in world (worse than most realize):

Previously a Muslim Brotherhood terrorists born in Bethlehem, Walad Shobat now fights Islam as a Christian: (warning, he does not pull punches and some pictures are the ones usually not allowed by US main stream media):

Every time I seen a variation of that phrase, I ask "What was that offense pleaded down from?"
