Mayor Deblasio in New York is going to start releasing prisoners from New York Jails....they claim it will be less dangerous criminals...but keep in mind, many criminals have illegal gun charges plea bargained down in order to get a successful prosecution.....so they are far from "non-violent."
Um, yeah, we already lock up too many people.
If Covid-19 gets into a prison, we are going to be screwed.
No...those criminals will be screwed....but we can isolate them in their already isolated prison cells.........rather than let them out to attack normal citizens....
I wonder, do you feel the same way about those who are imprisoned awaiting trial? What about those who did not do a plea deal?
Also, I find it strange that someone so adamantly for gun rights would describe someone having a gun illegally as automatically violent.
We are not talking about normal gun owners...we are talking about repeat offenders.....caught with illegal guns over and over again.....constantly having their illegal gun charges plea bargained away.....then getting released, getting another gun, illegally, and shooting other criminals...
Normal people are not sitting in jail waiting trial for illegal gun charges.....criminals with long histories are sitting in jail waiting for trial.....
You're moving the bar pretty quickly here, and doing it without any evidence that I see. You said that many criminals have illegal gun charges plea bargained down. Now you say repeat offenders, and further go on to say repeat offenders caught with illegal guns over and over, constantly having those charges plea bargained away. Just how many people in prison do you think have been caught with illegal guns over and over, had charges for those guns plea bargained away, then went and illegally obtained more guns and shot people with them?
I didn't say anything about people sitting in jail waiting for trial for illegal gun charges. You once again moved the bar. I want to know if you feel that all people awaiting trial should just be "screwed" if this virus gets into the jail they are in. That seems to be your position based on the OP.
The people in jail awaiting Trial should stay in jail and await Trial..........
