Not all violators are violent, but all violent offenders have typically committed non violent offenses. And violent offenders typically reoffend somewhere around two thirds of the time. If they in that revolving door they'll almost assuredly commit a violent offense. At some point don't you think they've forfeited their rights to be among the rest of us and deserve to stay locked up?

For nonviolent offenses? No, people shouldn't be jailed indefinitely for those.

Some felony charges have been reduced to misdemeanors. Many charges are dismissed under Bragg for procedural issues including violent offenses.

Good. Prosecute your case properly.

I'm not sure how you can't call that soft on crime. They certainly aren't aggressive on the issue. Cashless bail.

Again, good. No one should be sitting in jail for months without a trial for a low-level misdemeanor just because they aren't rich enough

you realize this is hardly the only social media platform out there, right?
we aren't even that big of one. and its even smaller considering we are just the politics forum.

if anything you are displaying confirmation bias. you are on a website whose basis is a college in east tennessee, with the main focus on football. very conservative demographics both. and you think it proves some greater point that ONE guy rants about new york and that proves there is no hatred to small towns? and somehow that one guy represents a 20:1 hate imbalance across all of social media.

Well the comment that kicked things off questioned why so many people want to make our large cities sound as bad as possible and noting the lack of threads here full of disparagement of smaller towns and the countryside. So my comments were in that context.
Taking a more macro view, there's a whole lot of commentary out there from which WTOB and the like pull their reposts and apparently form their opinions. Much of that commentary is politically motivated, to make blue places and policies sound terrible so folks who don't know better will vote red. I don't see nearly as much trashing in the same way of non-urban places from the left.
Don't get me wrong, I think our cities down to the smaller ones compare poorly in important ways to cities elsewhere. But I don't think it's because of blue liberal government.

Is the sky blue?

Does the sunrise in the east and set in the west?

Does the state of Alabama stink?

I don’t know if this is a rhetorical question or a serious question?

Of course he does.

I'm actually dumbfounded that a real American (that actually seems intelligent) could support a confirmed out in the open Communist. It's just mind boggling to me.

How much of his socialism do you expect to trickle down into city? I mean, it isn't like NYC is a paragon of capitalism but he's like real-deal democratic socialist.

No he isn't. He's a real deal Communist.

I saw a story on Fox Business or CNBC (don't remember which) that there are now more financial firms in Texas than NYC. If the Commie gets elected, watch that exodus accelerate.

Those New Yorkers don't know what they don't know until they see it for themselves. A friend in Nashville tells me that they are coming there and buying high rise apartments in downtown Nashville and are giddy at the prices (which have skyrocketed)

I'm fine with that. If NYC starves the cash cow those affected should move to greener pastures
