SF D.A. Chesa Boudin's radical policies are killing innocent San Franciscans. It's time for him to go. If you agree, please share my blog post.https://davidsacks.medium.com/the-killer-d-a-54d4c4a5135f …

David, it reads like your property crime recidivism solution is mass incarceration.
@chesaboudin‘s solution is mass supervision and high crime. How might we forge a third way? The goals should be low crime, recidivism and incarceration.3 replies 1 retweet 6 likes -
Until we find that third way our responsibility should be towards the innocent victims & not criminals. If they're likely 2 commit crimes when out & harm even ONE citizen, their release isn't palatable. So until the opposers of mass incarc.find that third way, the first way stays

It depends on the type of crime. Prison is super expensive. For violent and serious, absolutely! For non-violent/non-serious, different options short of incarceration would be better.

It isn't black & white. What if you were the same person at 16 that held up a store with a gun, released because you were under 18. Now at 19, you're caught again with a gun selling meth. Named as the POI in several violent crimes but not enough to prove. What would you do?

I would first look to solve why a 16 yr old has a gun?. Lets start there. 2nd why did a 16 year old had the need to hold up a store? If we intervened here, as a society, we likely will not have a 19 year old "with a gun selling meth"

We as a society don't want to ask the hard questions and actually solve the underlying problem. We are too quick to pass the buck. Let's look in the mirror and ask ourselves what could we as voters have done differently so a 16 year old doesn't have a gun and/or hold up a store

There's no passing the buck. They were caught with meth(with violence in the past in this made up narrative)which is why there's a higher bail. Their lives are THEIR responsibility, not society's. If they are actively CHOOSING to sell meth then they pay for it.

I don't think its that simple. Yes, their "lives" are their responsibility but that assumes they have "lives" worth living. Good societies make sure that every citizen has the economic opportunity to have a life worth living on a level playing field with a safety net.
