In California, one prisoner costs $132,000. The median rent is $2,800. You could house FOUR PEOPLE for that.

This is cruel. Evil.

mistakes acorn for a gun shot
trips over himself
hits nothing but his own car
says hes hit when no one else is shooting
holy fuck they truly just give a gun and a badge to anybody
No free college, no affordable housing, no minimum wage increase, no moves to address the cost of living crisis, no healthcare, but see how perfectly in alignment these ghouls votes are when it comes to unlimited funds for weapons of death and destruction?
