I also like the logic in “Chesa sometimes prosecutes crime, therefore he prosecutes all crime, and if you don’t buy it, you’re a hater”.

Or better yet, here's legit logic I actually DO like: Incarceration is not the only, nor always the best consequence for every crime. America locks up more people than any other democracy, yet we have more crime and more violence. Other paths to justice are needed.

Maybe we incarcerate more people because we have more violence. CA released prisoners on Props 47, and 57, and then for COVID, and look at us now.

If you're honest about it, the best you can say is that locking up millions of people has not resulted in America becoming less violent nor crime-free. Yes, look at us now, we're finally turning a page on a pattern that will be rued in history like slavery & segregation are now.

No society is crime-free. Human nature is not infinitely perfectable. And lol, we’ve turned that page of history a long time ago. You are not as important as you think you are.

My apology for mis-speaking, I meant “MORE crime-free” (I should’ve said “lower crime rates”), not 100% crime-free.

You might want to take a look at single motherhood, and how it’s connected to crime.

True, good point. Also, you might want to take a look at mass incarceration, and how it’s connected to single motherhood and kids being raised in foster homes, group homes, etc.

Mass incarceration is a consequence of welfare state and single motherhood. It self-perpetuates.

I’m glad you see the cyclical nature of this. If you want to end single motherhood, you should oppose mass incarceration.
