A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

"Prosecution, however, by definition, takes place after a crime has occurred, and to truly make the District safer, we need to focus on stopping crime before it happens in the first place," he added. "Prevention efforts cannot replace effective policing and prosecution, but are equally necessary in order to make D.C. safer now and in the long run."

Typical conservative spin. Take a sentence out of context. And then get enraged.

He literally said "We cannot prosecute and arrest our way out of it." and judging from the Dems stance on crime, thats what they think. It wasnt mispoken

To which the meaning of that, given the context, is "being a police state, arresting every one at the drop of a hat will not solve things, preventative measures will always be more effective at reducing crime."

But that's evidently too much context to understand, and strawmen args are more to speed for republicans.

There's a level between police state and giving probation to murderers. Surely you can see the issue here.

What are you even talking about?

What does that have to do with this?

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -1 points 9 months ago

It's what I was referencing. They literally gave probation to a murderer.

Sounds like they gave her probation because she was making an insanity plea, because she had psychosis. That, and she was seemingly remorseful. Therefore they gave her probation.

Are you saying insanity pleas are invalid?

Either way, this has nothing to do with the DC AG or what he said. You clearly have no argument for that conversation so you just moved to the next.

Then she belongs in a mental hospital
