Just like you have your flag burning parties.

I think we have found who is most obsessed with this.

Is it mental decline, or just more of the standard BS, that led him to recently claim “they call me the President of Europe, it’s an honor”. Have to admit of all his good one lines, that’s one of my favorites.

People have such a difficult time accepting they’ve backed or believed a lie that they will either deflect, or lie to themselves, to compensate.

Okay….well, you brought up the bail. (As was shown where I quoted you). I guess since the data doesn’t agree with what your politicians want you to believe (I know I know, they’re all trash), you’re ready for one of your shifts. Carry on.

Ummmm.....that's exactly my point. A decision to not prosecute has nothing to do with a system on how to determine pre-trial release. And I was specifically addressing your claim on how they determine pre-trial release. As I see your reading comprehension is suffering again, allow me to copy your quote: "Now do Chicago and the other cities that have this. Having no bail for some of these crimes is stupid" The point is that whether or not the defendant can come up with the money for bail has no impact on whether or not they will commit the crime. What the data shows is that with determining pre-trial release based on risk factors, rather than can they come up with money, is having an impact on whether or not those defendants are out of jail to commit another crime...or...not show up to court. The system does not mean everyone is automatically released, it means their release is not simply determined by whether or not they have the money. To put it into simpler terms.....gang bangers have cash. Drug dealers have cash. Determining their release based on risk factors other than cash.....since these violent criminals have the cash...has no impact on crime going up, which is what the talking heads want you to believe. The other benefit is that instead of $140 million dollars a year going to courts, it is going to the community retail store and restaurants, etc etc, all while not influencing an increase in crime.

Well, i guess first you have to understand the system has nothing to do with "not to prosecute", it solely has to do with how they now determine whether or not a defendant is released pre-trial. And, again, I asked what it says that the data is the data. If you don't want to face the data, that's okay. I'm not going to go through all your hoops with you this evening.

Do you actually expect anyone here to believe you have ever had one of these parties, and that you are not just talking BS out your a**?

I asked what it says that the data shows that violent crime, property crime, and failure to appear rates are down, I'm not saying the data claims crime has been eliminated.

What does it say that violent crime, property crime, and failure to appear rates are down in Cook County in the year that the state of Illinois (these are not city initiatives but rather state legislation) enacted this system. They are not down by a lot, but if they're down they can't be up....which goes against what certain media, talking heads, and politicians would have us believe.

No, but according to the article the people are saying he should be given clemency because he didn’t intend to kill three people. He just made a bad decision. The bad decision was incredibly stupid, breaking the laws of the road, which resulted in killing three people. By that same mindset, when people go out and get drunk and then decide to drive home, they didn’t intend to harm anyone, they just made a bad decision. That’s what I was getting at.

Yes. That was probably awhile ago when I had it down on the dock. When Hurricane Milton came at us last year I moved everything to the lanai, and then after decided to keep it there. I haven’t cooked inside since, and I cook alllllllllll the time. (Hence the comment about my neighbors)

Duh….robots don’t bruise

So their mindset is drunk drivers should be let off, because, they didn't go out meaning to harm anyone, they just made a bad decision. Three people are dead, I don't see how clemency is 'proportional justice'.

I haven't cooked bacon inside for a year now, and I cook a big batch most every weekend to have in the fridge for nibbling. I'm not sure if my neighbors love me or hate me.

Can't argue that

My man, you had me here....I was thinking okay give it an order, what do you have to lose.... Then I got here and opened the link, and saw that 24 oz package is 5x $$$ what I pay for the all natural, great tasting and texture bacon I've been getting, and realized money is what I have to lose! I think I'm going to have to stick to my guns.

I think that boarder is a pretty long haul for me…

I appreciate that. But I just have a thing about mail order food. I gotta see it, inspect, get hands on it.

Aldi carries some pretty good bacon at a good bang for your buck too. The course ground pepper coated is pretty much a staple in my fridge.

When you have to just make things up in your head to make yourself feel better.... Yes, soooo very mad.

There's a thread on here about hyperbole.....you should check it out. Obviously I said nothing of the sort. Just responding to the idea that an arrest always has a committed crime in front of it. I guess you can't face the fact that arrests....even convictions...have happened quite a bit on people who did not commit the crime, so you have to come up with something like that. More of that childish mentality.

If everyone on this board came down with a case of the clap......would we consider it a round of applause???

I mean, to be fair, how many times has someone been arrested....even tried and convicted...only to later be proven to have never committed a crime? The answer is definitely not zero.

You are correct, here’s your tissues, and these are for your tears. And a question…. are you not intelligent enough to come up with your own comebacks, or is taking someone else’s and just changing a few words the only way you can function? Do better. You’re weak.
