It should stop. It's a bad practice.
It should stop. It's a bad practice.It's called plea bargaining and everybody does it.
What do you suggest? Just let them go?
Seemed to be the position of leftists/progressives/democrats.What do you suggest? Just let them go?
It's the crimes before that final step, that matters. That's how most of those random murders go.Where in his history he killed someone and is walking free just to kill again
Yeah, I found that puzzling as well. Apparently, getting guns off the streets reduces the murder rate.Why is @anatta singing the praises of a gun grabber State's Attorney and a Democrat run war-zone City of Baltimore?
Of course you do.
Only if you live within a block of the Inner Harbor. My spouse had to go John Hopkins multiple times. What a shithole part of the city that is.

Sounds good.Don't be absurd. I suggest this:
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott discusses how the city has brought violent crime down
"We know what causes it, right? When you have, here in Baltimore, the birthplace of redlining, purposeful disinvestment into neighborhoods over generations and generations. And at the same time, deindustrialization. And then you, of course, have the influx of drugs into the communities. You just have a melting pot of disaster.
September is when we fully implemented our comprehensive violence prevention plan. So, when you look deep into that plan it is multifaceted. We have the group violence reduction strategy, which is a focused deterrence model, where we actually go to those who are most likely to be the victim or perpetrator of gun violence. They get a letter directly from me. We knock on their door and say 'We know who you are. We know what you do. Change your life. We'll help you do it. But if you don't, we're going to remove you via law enforcement'. Those who have taken us up on change in their life – over 90% of them have not re-injured, revictimized or recidivated in crime.
We actually have case managers. They work with these people every day to make sure that they're getting the things that they need. I'll give you some examples. There was a young man who told our folks when they knocked on the door that this was the first time he had been involved in that life since he was 12, that anyone told him he could do any different. There are people who are now working for the city, at the public works, and at the convention center. Folks who have changed their life around because they're getting all of their support from the community portion of the group violence reduction strategy.
When you look at how we were able to really grow our community violence intervention ecosystem at such a rapid pace is because we used 50 million of APRA (the American Rescue Plan Act) to do so. We have local money into it, obviously, state money, philanthropic money and the federal money. That helped us to really rapidly deploy all of these resources."
Holy crap. That's just crazy.Seemed to be the position of leftists/progressives/democrats.
Here is the Seattle mayor saying we need to understand repeat criminals, not jail them.
Seattle mayor says better to hear 8-time offender's story than jail them
Asked how many offenses should trigger jail time, Mayor Bruce Harrell dismissed punitive responses.www.newsweek.com
Bullshit. They are result of Democrat failure to enforce laws. “Gotta let them destroy”, right? Was that Mosby’s attitude before we found out she was a criminal.Some of it is. Those dangerous ghettos are a consequence of our racist housing policy.
Is the Staten Island equivalent of Bloodymore?These are areas the Mayor's program is focusing on.
But I went over to east Baltimore the other day and saw plenty of terrific neighborhoods.
Nope. That is just the prevailing attitude among Seattle area leftists and Democrats. Remember, they never prosecuted anyone for taking over part of the city during the CHAZ/CHOP episode.Holy crap. That's just crazy.
The wonderful thing about America, a source of our freedom, is the principle of Federalism, which allows for a country free of restrictions from the federal government. How states and cities address crime is entirely their own power. As such, in a country as large as America, we will find a continuum of opinions and laws; from lock 'em all up to let 'em all go.Seemed to be the position of leftists/progressives/democrats.

Wasn’t that case about a murder on a North Carolina train?
Suspect in fatal N.C. train stabbing of Ukrainian refugee is charged with federal crime

That's the name of it? 13th?Another topic in the fine documentary, 13th.
Most people facing criminal charges never face an actual trial.

The good thing about all this is that you don't have to set foot in Seattle much less live there. Many of those who vote for Democrats wouldn't live in Seattle for many reasons. I hate rain and humidity, so I've never considered it, and I vote for Democrats.
Why are you concerned with Seattle?
Sounds good.
over 90% of them have not re-injured, revictimized or recidivated in crime.
what about the other 10%? What do we do with them? That's what we are talking about here. Not those that are one and done because they were helped. The ones that were helped and continue to commit crimes.
Crime varies within neighborhoods.Crime rates also vary considerably within a given state.

It doesn't take extraordinary knowledge to navigate a city safely. Stay out of the high crime areas, don't go wandering around after dark in unlit areas, stay sober if alone, don't escalate a situation.
The Neil Road area used to be gangland, but that was decades ago. The gangs still exist but their prominence has dwindled as the city has grown. Downtown is completely safe during the day, and safe at night unless you're a single woman wandering around inebriated and lost.
Crime here is above the national average but not extreme. I've never felt unsafe. Money for more cops would be wonderful. That's where Trump could help.
Interesting philosophy since the Democrats have wanted one Federal government ruling everything for decades. Now they don’t. LOLThe wonderful thing about America, a source of our freedom, is the principle of Federalism, which allows for a country free of restrictions from the federal government.
Democrats don’t want that though. They want one Federal government ruling the country.How states and cities address crime is entirely their own power. As such, in a country as large as America, we will find a continuum of opinions and laws; from lock 'em all up to let 'em all go.
Used to live in the area. Sad to see what was a beautiful city 30 years ago be destroyed by liberal Democrat idiocy.The good thing about all this is that you don't have to set foot in Seattle much less live there. Many of those who vote for Democrats wouldn't live in Seattle for many reasons. I hate rain and humidity, so I've never considered it, and I vote for Democrats.

Lol. Sure.The biggest problem with that (bolded above) idea would likely be offering a federal reward for state/local government failure.
IDGAF about Democrats. Get the Democrats outta your head.Interesting philosophy since the Democrats have wanted one Federal government ruling everything for decades. Now they don’t. LOL
My oh my, you are obsessed with Democrats.Democrats don’t want that though. They want one Federal government ruling the country.
WTF are you talking about? Yes, that's the entire point. Duh.Used to live in the area. Sad to see what was a beautiful city 30 years ago be destroyed by liberal Democrat idiocy.
Imagine that. Get tough on crime and crime goes down. What a novel idea.enforce the law and no more revolving door justice and crime drops...who'd a thunk?
"We had to let the criminal element know that it was a new day, that there was accountability and that you will go to prison," said Baltimore City State’s Attorney Ivan Bates told Fox News Digital.Murder rate drops in blue city as prosecutor vows ‘you will go to prison’
Baltimore's top prosecutor Ivan Bates explains how focusing on repeat violent offenders and invoking mandatory minimums helped reduce the city's murder rate significantly.www.foxnews.com
Bates said his crime-fighting platform was built around one promise: go after the people doing the most damage.
"If you are a violent repeat offender, you are our number one target, our number one focus, and we need to remove you from the street," Bates continued.
According to Bates, there were between 5,000 and 6,000 such offenders in the city. His office zeroed in on illegal gun cases involving convicted felons, using a powerful tool Maryland law already provided.
"In Maryland, if you carry a gun and you’re a repeat violent offender, the state’s attorney’s office could invoke a count that’s a mandatory minimum, which means that you would go to prison a minimum of five years without the possibility of parole," Bates explained. "It’s a minimum mandatory. The previous administration did not invoke those charges, accounts. We did."
"There is no magic pill. You just have to really hold people accountable," he explained. "When they know that they will go to jail, their attitudes change greatly."
