the one crime they will hold someone for, hurt a judge or a D.A. or their family suddenly they want to hold the criminal . justice for just us.

And how many years did it take to the bureau of Justice to come up with the statistics on the crime rates in blue cities that don't have any bail bonds or will not lock up a criminal you notice they never tell you then types of statistics why is that

[@ghost2030]

They need to look at the statistics on violent crime, burglaries and theft instead of all crimes because you used to have crimes that were illegal, like grown men exposing theirselves parading around in the streets, which is legal now but should be illegal no matter the event, and then you got marijuana, which should have never been illegal which is now legal in a lot of states. So of course you might have statistics showing a decline if you look at all crime as one but whats the statistics on violent crime burglaries and theft individually not as one.

It would be nice if you guys to talk about jobs kind of would help if somebody is working 8 hour day. When there's only 24 hours in a day. If you keep somebody busy working. Something's better than nothing. Maybe make a ban on working at least you know people that have jobs or busy doing something instead of starting something.
