Zero desire to jail a 6-7 time criminals

[headshuck]

How many 6-7+ crime people are roaming the streets of Seattle?

 

The mayor wants to get to know them. When does he find time to set up a sit down discussion?

This guy.    In Chicago. They call him the loop puncher.  He’s assaulted tons of people.   He’s clearly mentally unstable but jeez what do you do with him.   Similar to your situation.  One day he will snap and kill someone.     This woman says some were assaulted sexually too.   
 

Liberals will say simple assault is bad bla bla bla 

 

Chicago’s crime prevention policies don’t need to be any better right ?   People are safe right?

It used to be well understood that not only could you, but you had to, deal with the criminally insane in a way that protected the innocent.  You can study them to your heart’s desire in lockup.  But releasing them to prey on the citizenry is another crime.

This is a major part of Ronald Reagan's legacy.

A great example of conservative empty rhetoric. That kind of policy is expensive. It requires significant government funding and resources and conservatives (and tbf democrats too) are completely uninterested in providing those resources. Instead, they just use the image of mentally-ill homeless people and crime as a political football.

The quote in the tweet isn't even close to what he says in the video and the video cuts off as he explains why jailing people is necessary to protect people even though he doesn't "desire" to put people in jail.

releasing them is how you kill more people

if they have committed 6-7 crimes, i think we pretty much know them.

 

'they just want bread for their families'

Didn’t the Seattle mayor say that today.  May have even been your post

Yes, this is the ethic that allowed shoplifters to steal up to $800 of stuff because they need it for their families, every day and multiple times a day.   Yes, the guys family needed 18 packs of diapers today and tomorrow and later this afternoon.   

This is how they view the homeless.   They do not prosecute the homeless because they are just trying to get by.   When in reality, 95%+ of them are doing it to get money to buy drugs.   That is it in a nutshell.   And the city countenances that.   And that is one way how you get reduced crime levels if you arrest and do not charge.   If you as a taxpaying law abiding person did what they did, you would be thrown in the pokey.   But they are not.   And let me tell you winter here is not a fun place to be camping outside.   But they choose to do that.   

In fact there is a hotel (was a red lion) in Renton that the county bought to make it into a homeless shelter.   Guess what?   It is empty.   Why say you?   Well, it is this little thing about providing shelter with no behavioral requirements.   So they were allowed to do all the drugs they wanted in their "apartment".   So now the place is a toxic wasteland.   Suitable to be bulldozed and nothing more.   The county allowed these people to completely wreck the place they provided for them and did nothing about it.   The idiocy is just unbelievable.   

I live in unincorporated King County, not in Seattle.   But I see and hear enough about what is going on in there.  I try not to go to Seattle anymore.   I am trying to get World Cup tickets if they aren't outrageous next year, but I do not go there very often.

i would bet most of my retirement that if this guy had the chance to imprison a 1-2 republican offender

he would do so .

and make sure he made a lot of noise doing so 

[mspart]

I'm not so sure of that.   He's a moderate for a Seattle D.   They got tired of the crazies and voted him in.   Now he is up for re-election against a near crazy which is probably why he said that.   He's not R, but I don't see him as being a left wing lunatic like a lot are around here.
