Democrats working to increase gun and violent crime in Minnesota

[2aguy]

The democrat party is the driver of about 95% of our gun crime and they really want to increase that number.......

colleague Bill Walsh explains:

The presumptive sentences are displayed in a grid that is used by judges to determine the appropriate sentence once someone is convicted of a felony. The y-axis on the grid refers to the severity level of the crime, from low-level assault (1) all the way to murder (11). The x-axis refers to the criminal history score of the perpetrator.

You can follow the link to see the grid.

On Dec. 16, 2021, the Sentencing Guidelines Commission will vote on a proposal to eliminate custody status points from consideration for felony sentences. The commission believes criminals should not be given stronger sentences if they commit more crimes while on probation or parole, or even if they’ve escaped custody. That will mean lower sentences for criminals who commit murder, rape, assault, robbery and felony DWI!

This proposed change would lower presumptive sentences for convicted felons in all categories, with sex criminals getting a special break:

Worse yet, sex offenders currently receive double points for their custody status, so eliminating this part of the grid will disproportionally benefit the worst criminals in our system.

Why do democrats want to release the criminals committing almost all of our gun crime?

The anti-gun extremists here on USmessage need to explain this...

The goal of the so-called Democrat Party is to continue allowing the criminals to keep using firearms in their crimes until the populace gets so fed up with it that they will be willing to demand that the politicians take the firearms away from the law-abiding citizens who aren't a danger to them and who aren't committing crimes with their firearms.

I think the democrats are trying to reduce perceived inequalities in our justice system by going soft on violent crime. But as noted in the OP, all they're really doing is putting violent criminals and sex offenders sooner so they can commit more offenses. It's basically pandering to the black vote, even though I venture to say that quite a few black voters do not approve of what they're (democrats) doing.
