She might as well have a free gun drive, free custom window tinting, weed, air fresheners for hood rats.

I don't like this "equity" thing. I'm against drive-by shootings. I don't think it's a good idea to lower the punishment for people who carry them out.

Washington State Lawmaker Who Is A Convicted Felon Drafts “Racial Equity” Bill To Lower Sentencing For Drive-By Shooters​

December 24, 2021

OLYMPIA, WA – A convicted felon turned lawyer who later turned into a state legislator in Washington state recently drafted a bill that would lower sentencing for murderers who committed their crime via doing a drive-by shooting. And per the language of the bill, this is meant to promote “racial equity.”

According to the Washington State Legislature online portal, House Bill 1692 was pre-filed on December 23rd, poising it to be considered during the 2022 legislative session. Said bill is sponsored by Democrat Representatives David Hackney and, most notably, 44-year-old Tarra Simmons, who’d previously been sentenced to 30 months in prison in 2011 for drug and theft convictions.

After Simmons served her time in prison, she attended law school, worked at an NPO for a couple of years, and then ran and got elected to the state legislature back in 2020. Rep. Simmons is unsurprisingly an advocate for criminal justice reform, specifically the soft-on-crime version of said activism.

And that soft-on-crime approach really shows itself with her sponsored bill, HB 1692.
According to the opening of the bill text, the proposed legislation aims to reduce the sentencing for murderers who killed their victim(s) during a drive-by shooting, claiming that doing so would help promote “racial equity.”

“AN ACT Relating to promoting racial equity in the criminal legal system by eliminating drive-by shooting as a basis for elevating murder in the first degree to aggravated murder in the first degree,” the bill states, “amending RCW 10.95.020 and 10.95.020; creating a new section; providing an effective date; and providing an expiration date.”

WA doesn't have a legislature for all intents and purposes. The last two years, it has been a monarchy ruled over by Jay Inslee. The populace has voted on initiatives twice in that period and the legislature has thumbed their noses at the initiatives. Previous to this, the state supreme court found that the legislature was remiss in their paramount duty to "fully fund" public education. The legislature did nothing for two solid years and when they finally did act, they still didn't fully fund the system hence most school districts in WA have levies to pick up the slack.

Why evaluate him?

He's not a convicted murderer.

He is not convicted, correct. But he was held in jail for over a year.

 

[Synthaholic]

Repeating lies doesn't make them true.

Please show the class how conservatives got women the right to vote.

Or just continue demonstrating what a fool you are.

and?

 

[Synthaholic]

Repeating lies doesn't make them true.

Please show the class the bill put forward by conservatives, to create Social Security.

Fool.

 

[Synthaholic]

Odd, then, how you mention it here -- and admit it's a source of far-left ultra-biased spin.

Yeah, I'm aware that they exist.

 

[Synthaholic]

It could turn into law, you dumb asshole!

Many, many steps down the road. But I forget that you're ignorant of how government works.

That it is even on the docket proves just how ignorant democrats are two democrats created it and a democrat put it on the docket.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Conservative media has to keep their base fed with red meat

Left loons ignore things like this and then wonder why crime is astronomical

You're going to wish you hadn't asked.

The Republican History of Women’s Suffrage​

Eventually, the Republican party became the first major party to advocate equal rights for women, and it wasn’t until the Republicans gained control of Congress in 1919 — after Democrats had defeated the 19th amendment four times — that the amendment passed. Twenty-six of the 36 states that ratified it had Republican legislatures.

Maritza Bolano, a chairwoman on the Suffragette Committee and the editor of a forthcoming book detailing the suffrage movement and the founding of the club, emphasizes the importance of the Republican party’s role in suffrage. “The Republican party was the leader in women’s rights, as it had been the leader in abolition from Lincoln. The party leaders welcomed women and wanted women to participate.”

Fool.

Nope, we can give credit for that to Democrats. You can tell because it was racist and sexist.

Most women were excluded from the benefits of unemployment insurance and old age pensions.[12] Job categories that were not covered by the act included workers in agricultural labor, domestic service, government employees, and many teachers, nurses, hospital employees, librarians, and social workers.[13] The act also denied coverage to individuals who worked intermittently.[14] These jobs were dominated by women and minorities. For example, women made up 90 percent of domestic labor in 1940 and two-thirds of all employed black women were in domestic service.[15] Exclusions exempted nearly half of the working population.[14] Nearly two-thirds of all African Americans in the labor force, 70 to 80 percent in some areas in the South, and just over half of all women employed were not covered by Social Security.[16][17] At the time, the NAACP protested the Social Security Act, describing it as "a sieve with holes just big enough for the majority of Negroes to fall through."[17]

Nope. Crime is not “astronomical.”

Many, many steps down the road. But I forget that you're ignorant of how government works.

It certainly is convenient of you to ignorantly think so. We expect nothing less from you.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Nope. Crime is not “astronomical.”

US records highest increase in nation's homicide rate in modern history, CDC says | CNN

The US has just recorded its highest-ever increase in rates of homicide in modern history, according to the CDC.

Even CNN says it is. Stay dumb and in denial. It suits you.

 

[B. Kidd]

"Equity" sure is being used to push a lot of horseshit lately.

Equity, as a Marxist paradigm, is replacing the Capitalist paradigm of the 'work ethic'.
Why are we letting this bullshit happen??

Wrong. Crime was at the lowest in decades in 2019 just before the pandemic. Increases from that bottom do not constitute “astronomical.”

Fir intelligent people watching the massive failure of liberal policies that have resulted in historic, record-setting murder, theft, drug, and other crime rates, opposing this retard's legislation and kicking him out of office should be a 'no-brainer'.

Fir intelligent people watching the massive failure of liberal policies that have resulted in historic, record-setting murder, theft, drug, and other crime rates,

Name these “liberal policies” that result in “historic” murder, theft, drug, and other crime
