“Councilman Ritchie Torres (D-Bronx), who voted in favor of the bills, urged “hysterical” critics to reconsider how criminal records picked up over minor offenses could hobble young minorities’ “access to financial aid and higher education.””

So he’s accusing young minorities of being the culprits.
He’s a racist.
.
“...reconsider how criminal records picked up over minor offenses could hobble young minorities’ “access to financial aid and higher education.”””
Sounds to me like more of the left’s “the soft bigotry of low expectations.”
So essentially what Councilman Ritchie Torres (D-Bronx) is saying is, “It’s too hard to expect “young minorities” to live respectfully in a civil society so we must lower the standards to meet their ability to live in a civil society.”
Sad!
