Obama: ‘Simply Locking People Up Doesn’t Make Communities Safer’
Breitbart News Network ^ | 23 Apr 2016 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 04/23/2016 12:36:43 PM PDT by george76

resident Obama argued that the US does not have more people in prison than any other developed country “because we have more criminals. It’s because we have criminal justice policies, including unfair sentencing laws, that need to be reformed.”

He added “simply locking people up doesn’t make communities safer” because “It doesn’t deal with the conditions that lead people to criminal activity in the first place, or to return to prison later.”

Right O bozo but one thing is certain: indefinite sentencing and capital punishment are 100% effect in stopping recidivism.

Thought experiment: If you depopulated an area, and locked up absolutely everyone — how much crime would there be after ALL the people were gone?

I’m sure everyone would be safer if we let everyone who is in jail walk free.

Another day, another incredible lie from the lips of Barack Hussein Obama.

He does the bidding of his father (John 8:44).

We told you so, America. You didn’t listen. Twice.

Disrupting the pipeline from underfunded schools to overcrowded jails.


What’s with this liberal talking point about the school to prison pipeline?

Does everyone know that some of our big city school ssytems, such as Washington, DC, spend more per capita on education than the national average? So what the hell is he talking about with “underfunded schools”????

Liberals make it sound like racist cops are going into these schools, and pulling aside black children who didn’t do anything, and throwing them in jail for no reason.

The fact is, most of the criminal element are not in school in the first place. They are in the streets doing God knows what criminal activity.

Well, shooting the criminals would probably make the neighborhoods ultimately safer. But, no one will let us do that.

(Said sarcastically.)

In our area of MA, the judges are so easy on bail that violent idiots are out of jail in months, and it takes two or three trips through the system for the judges to catch on.

What makes our cities unsafe is the lack of parents who do nothave two brain cells to rub together.

It’s not stupidity. It’s planned chaos in as many ways as possible.

He knows exactly what he is doing.

..Obama: ‘Simply Locking People Up Doesn’t Make Communities Safer...

Really? Apparently keeping illegal alien drunk drivers out of the Country doesn’t cut down on drunk driving deaths and injuries caused by them either. Or, murders of young American women on San Francisco boardwalks either.

And yet the crime rate was dropping for thirty years until Obola took office.

Add that in with McAuliffe(?) and it’s just part of the DNC criminal enterprise. 60’s radicals who never changed. Big surprise this guy started his campaign in the home of a 60’s radical, whose organization of choice had murdered people right here in the old U.S.A.
