Phew. I'm so glad to hear Hamas draws the line at murdering, raping, kidnapping and using human shields. I was really worried they were the bad guys.

1 Dead baby is enough for me, buster.

It's just especially juicy since now he's president when the cows have come home.

They are the cause for the high tuition. I don't have it on me, but I saw a graph showing that when Biden made Student Loans impossible to forgive via Bankruptcy, the prices for tuition positively skyrocketed.

Natural reaction to being treated like disposable dirt for so long. We would all like the complete benefits of our total productivity.

Just cap the interest rate, my man. That would solve the entire problem.

Buddy, my friends and family live in Chicago. Statistics aren't going to convince them one way or another.

We need to rehabilitate the rapists and murderers. They super pinky promise not to rape or kill again!!! It was just one time, come on… have some compassion!!

Going through someone's post history is admitting defeat. No one is going to read a paragraph of illogical nonsense about defending criminals.

Get a job.

Don't bother, friend. Attacking someone's character is a logical fallacy. When they go into your post history they have no defense.

There's something very, very odd with the Fediverse because there is a very high concentration of illogical, emotionally charged liberal bigots on this site.

Fox News is a logical falacy scapegoat for people who wants to disqualify someone else's opinion bc it doesn't align with yours. Everyone tunes out "fascist" and "Fox news" when they hear it. Saying it doesn't silence the opinions or make people's whose opinions do not align with yours go away. Quite the opposite.

Yes. There are what the citizens are referring to as "armed caravans" driving around and assaulting pedestrians. Police officers have since stopped trying as hard since there are people filing lawsuits against the police, and it's also dangerous for them to be putting violent criminals away who will be out on the street within hours.

If you were a police officer tasked with chasing down and arresting violent criminals, would you risk your life for someone who was going to be released in several hours?

I'm defending being a citizen who does not engage in violence, theft or crime in general. I absolutely think prioritizing those people's needs should be prioritized over those who engage in those acts. Why is defending that class of citizen so bad?

Bro, you're defending criminals. I'm not having a discussion with you because there's none to be had. Just by defending criminals you tell me all I need to know about your opinions.

This is real life, not statistics. Eye witness and community member complaints.

It doesn't follow your narrative, of course you're butthurt by it. Dunno why it's so popular to defend criminals nowadays but definitely shows the flawed mentality that's so pervasive

Educate people who live there and are affected by it? They are living it everyday, sir.

I don't care about them being rehabilitated. I care about keeping dangerous criminals off the streets.

Letting people out/off early is a problem. From what I understand, Illinois has eliminated cash bail, which has made crime way worse.

Edit: This site has a huge problem with people being loud about things they know nothing about. I know people who live in Chicago who are an active part of their community and crime has gone up insanely. There are a bunch of emergency meetings about the significant increase in armed robbery and carjackings. Apparently to people on this site, the comfort and feelings of criminals matter more than innocent people who are just trying to get by in their own community.

This obsession with being soft on criminals is so backwards and fucked up. Anyone who defends this is delusional and a threat to a safe society.
