We’ve seen it way too many times, almost always in “progressive” areas: criminal commits horrible crime, criminal pays little in terms of consequences (and many times goes on to commit more violence and mayhem).
What do you get under such a system? More crime.
For instance, you’d think if you went out to attack people for their race, and you ended up maiming a person by bashing them over the head, that you’d never see anything but concrete walls and iron bars for the rest of your life. But that’s not always the case in deep blue California:
NEW: A homeless man who murdered another sleeping homeless man in Santa Monica in 2023 by bashing his skull in with a metal pipe has been given diversion, and will see no prison time. He had also been charged w/ a hate crime & attacked two other people.https://t.co/mSoiGNLvc7
