Tucker Carlson is flat-out wrong on a number of these points. I'll just cite a few:

1. I'm no fan of Jared Kushner, but tying these riots to a Federal prison reform movement is absolutely ignorant on Carlson's part. Most people serving time in Federal prison are there for non-violent offenses. I even contend that many of those offenses shouldn't even be crimes at all -- let alone Federal crimes. The founders of this country would have found it repulsive, for example, to even consider the idea of imprisoning someone for firearms and narcotics "offenses."

2. What Americans want most right now is an end to this chaos. They want their cities to be saved. This is awfully presumptuous of Carlson. I don't give a flying sh!t about these cities. In fact, I've made personal and business decisions based on my desire to stay the hell away from cities as much as possible. Between the 2016 election patterns, the COVID-19 fiasco, and now this widespread insurrection, it's long been obvious to me that American cities are cursed ground. I wouldn't even buy the entire island of Manhattan for the same $24 the Dutch paid the Indians for it back in the 1620s.

3. We’re going to begin with where my family lives and has lived for 35 years, in the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C. There's your problem right there, Tucker. Your entire column is written with the simple-minded ignorance and naivete of someone who has lived for 35 years in a city that has been one of this country's worst urban sh!t-holes for decades. Aren't you the same guy whose home was sacked -- with your family inside -- by the same types of misfits and losers who are causing all this chaos and disorder now? And you still live in that neighborhood? And you still think the police are going to save your ass when the sh!t hits the fan?

I usually find Tucker Carlson to be thought-provoking and intelligent. He should have put his bowtie and his diaper back on before delivering this idiocy on TV.

Reasonable points all. In reality, we are in the last stages of a coup and the fall out is going to be horrible. Toilet paper will be the least of our worries.

Re: “Most people serving time in Federal prison are there for non-violent offenses.”

96% of federal inmates have pleaded guilty to a reduced charge.

When these people get early release, the general public has no idea what crimes they actually committed.

We also have no idea what crimes they committed when they did NOT get caught.

Actually they’re in on non-violent offense (drug trafficking) plea bargains. Because it’s harder to threaten some anonymous lab technician (who identified the dealer quantity substance seized as illegal drugs) than it is to kill some witness to a murder back in the hood.
