@wil_da_beast630 When you think about it, drawing conclusions from this kind of simplistic data, with no control for legitimate factors, is completely fallacious.
As governor, we passed voter ID in South Carolina. If you didn't have a photo ID, we offered you a ride to the DMV—free of charge. Only 25 people asked for a ride.
Voter ID isn't racist; it's common sense.
The consequences of crime go beyond the direct impact on the victim. Failure to consider indirect consequences is a major cause of bad policy in government generally, and that is part of the problem with soft-on-crime policies. https://t.co/gzsrBnAD3d
@Rafa_Mangual LBJ told America almost 60 years ago that a big increase in welfare was needed to address the "root cause of crime." Instead, crime soared. No matter how many times this fails, some people still cling to it.
The sooner we understand that violence is largely a psychosocial phenomenon, the sooner we can stop pretending that this is a problem the government can spend its way out of.
Serial rapist Andrew Luster is eligible for parole because drug-rape is supposedly not a violent crime in CA. Denied this time but likely in a few years. Prop. 20 of 2020 would have fixed this, but Mark Zuckerberg funded the opposition to it.

@RafaelMandelman Here is the plan to do better: (1) Recall Boudin; (2) Repeal Prop. 47. Seriously folks, did you not foresee that removing nearly all consequences for theft would lead to a *lot* more of it, with a consequent loss of quality of life for honest people?
