Is Bernie Sanders crazy? Not if you compare Crazy Bernie to nutjob Joe Biden or lunatic Beto O’Rourke.
Commenting on criminal justice reform during Thursday night’s Democratic debate in Houston, Joe Biden said:
“The fact of the matter is that what’s happened is that we’re in a situation now where there are so many people who are in jail and shouldn’t be in jail. The whole means by which this should change is to — the model has to change. Nobody should be in jail for a nonviolent crime.”
Nobody should be in jail for a nonviolent crime? You can’t get any crazier than that!
Nutjob Joe’s proposal is not only downright crazy, but it is also absolutely dangerous because sooner or later, a significant number of nonviolent criminals will become violent. Some years ago, for example, a man with an arrest history for passing bad checks shot to death a Houston grocery store cashier when she refused to accept his check.
And what do you suppose will happen if you come across a burglar while unarmed and try to stop him from taking off with your valuables? You’ll likely end up in a hospital or in the morgue … and one of Biden’s un-jailable nonviolent violent criminals sent you there.
You can be sure that Biden now has the grateful support of all big-time dope dealers with no history of violence, burglars, thieves, white-collar criminals and the scam artists who wipe out the life savings of the elderly.
You have to wonder why the anti-Trump media has remained absolutely silent about Nutjob Joe’s crazy proposal. If Trump or any other Republican had proposed that nonviolent criminals should not be locked up, the media would trumpet that story for weeks on end.
Almost as nutty as Biden was Beto O’Rourke when he was asked if he would confiscate AR-15s and AK-47s. O’Rourke answered:
“……… When we see that being used against children and in Odessa I met the mother of a 15-year-old girl who was shot by an AR-15 and that mother watched her bleed to death over the course of an hour because so many other people were shot by that AR-15 in Odessa and Midland there weren’t enough ambulances to get to them in time. Hell yes we are going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.”
How crazy is O’Rourke’s plan? Well, in Texas and other pro-gun states, any attempt to confiscate AR-15s and AK-47s would lead to open warfare between the owners of such guns and the authorities.
Responding to O’Rourke, Texas state representative Briscoe Cain from Houston tweeted, “My AR-15 is ready for you, Robert Francis.” And you may recall that Charles Heston once declared, “I’ll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.” Cain and Heston were expressing exactly how the owners of AR-15s and AK-47s are going to react when the authorities come to take those guns away.
You don’t have to worry about Lunatic Beto ever becoming president. What is really frightening though is that Biden will very likely be the Democratic nominee and that all the polls show if the election were to be held today, Nutjob Joe would beat Trump by a comfortable margin.
Same polls that predicted Hillary would win in a landslide Howie. The pollsters are the MSM/demedia. Fake News, Inc.
Did you watch the whole debate? I didn’t see any of it but got the ‘highlites’ later.
I watched about half of the debate before switching to an old cowboy movie on the Grits channel in order to keep from puking.
Howie,
“The fact of the matter is that what’s happened is that we’re in a situation now where there are so many people who are in jail and shouldn’t be in jail. The whole means by which this should change is to — the model has to change. Nobody should be in jail for a nonviolent crime.”
This is every day in Harris County and no one is paying attention.
Paul,
Another fact is that there are lots of persons who SHOULD be in jail, and yet they aren’t. Our system isn’t perfect. Most assuredly the solution is not to release everybody who’s been convicted of a non-violent crime.
The system can be improved. It can’t be improved by idiots making unsupportable, stupid statements.
Fat,
The problem with Criminals is that they commit violent and non-violent crimes. They do this stuff all the time. It is their job. When a criminal who has a record of violent crimes commits a non-violent crime doesn’t mean he should he get a pass on his new non-violent crime. If we let him go then the next time we catch him it will be on a violent crime. This is everyday in Harris County. Ask the H.P.D. officer who was shot by a non-violent criminal who was out on a free bond when he shot the H.P.D. officer.
Not exactly so, Paul. Brandon Bell, the punk who shot the HPD officer, was initially charged with misdemeanor trespassing and subsequently charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon in the carjacking case. The problem is that he was released on no bail for the misdemeanor charge before he was later charged with aggravated robbery. I think the cops fucked up big time when they busted Bell and charged him with a misdemeanor before they had all the facts.
But you are absolutely right when you say committing crimes is the job of criminals.
