Gee, reading the comments and attacks on then Senator Joe Biden as the author of the Crime Bill of 1994 is one more example of ignorant character assassins who are in full panic knowing Donald Trump is toast.
The OP's lie that Biden wrote the bill is ludicrous and clear evidence he and others above do not understand how bills in Congress are written and by whom.
Of course those in the circle jerk will not read anything which proves how dishonest they are, but once again I will offer a link to prove Joe Biden didn't write the Bill:

Really, cuz Biden claims he did write it.....but after years of calling it "The Biden Bill", he is now trying to distance himself from it. The innerweb won't let that lie fly.
Biden: 'I Got Stuck' Writing the Crime Bill Because I Was Judiciary Chair
Biden in 1993 speech pushing crime bill warned of 'predators on our streets' who were 'beyond the pale'
"We have predators on our streets that society has in fact, in part because of its neglect, created," said Biden, then a fourth-term senator from Delaware so committed to the bill that he has referred to it over the years as "the Biden bill."

The Crime-Bill Debate Shows How Short Americans’ Memories Are
Through the years, Biden didn’t just promote the crime bill occasionally—he made its passage a centerpiece of his decades of legislative accomplishment in Washington. Tough-on-crime rhetoric and policy proposals became a signature part of his political persona, not just in Delaware but on the national stage. He long supported civil-asset seizures of drug proceeds, mandatory sentences for drug possession, and harsh differences in penalties for the possession of crack and powder cocaine.
Biden portrayed the 1994 bill as an unalloyed political asset for a Democratic Party that had been at pains since the late 1960s to prove its bona fides on crime. “The liberal wing of the Democratic Party is now for 60 new death penalties,” he said on the Senate floor at the time. “The liberal wing of the Democratic Party is for 100,000 cops. The liberal wing of the Democratic Party is for 125,000 new state prison cells.” And, he added, “I’d like to see the conservative wing of the Democratic Party.”
In hindsight, complicated policy conversations get flattened into stark shades of right and wrong.

Joe Biden bragged about a harsh 1992 crime bill that did 'everything but hang people for jaywalking'
Biden, then a senator from Delaware, characterized his bill during a May 14, 1992, speech on the Senate floor as legislation that would "do everything but hang people for jaywalking."
The resurfaced comments come at a time when Biden is facing backlash for his past positions and has even hinted at reversing his stance on supporting capital punishment.
"Let me tell you what is in the bill, and I'll let you all decide whether or not this is weak," he said. "Let me get down here a compendium of the things that are in the bill. One, the death penalty. It provides 53 death-penalty offenses. Weak as can be, you know?"
"We do everything but hang people for jaywalking in this bill," Biden added. "That's weak stuff," he said.
In 1992, then-Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware boasted his crime bill would pursue the death penalty for dozens of offenses.
