*repeat violent offender gets arrested after shootout with cops* Democrats - We should take a chance on him and give him only 5 years so he can get out and attack more people sooner.

shouldn’t be in jail for life but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t get consequences for literally robbing a store

In this scenario the primary focus should be fixing the root cause rather than taking away the punishment. Which democrats do, which I agree with. I’m democratic for economic aid and helping the impoverished, and conservative for punishments. It’s like the free will argument. I don’t believe in free will bc it’s just biology+environment=predetermined output. However, just murderers were predestined to kill doesn’t mean they should roam the streets. This is just critical thought.

That must explain why homicide and murder rates are higher in red states

Rates are higher in democrat lead counties overall. This is beside the point though. People are not primarily upset about individuals stealing food out of necessity. They are upset with organized smash and grab style looting and retail theft that isn’t feeding anyone.

Conservatives always switch from states to counties the second state-level homicide data gets brought up. Pick a level of government and stick with it.

Finer grain stats are better in this case, so I’m picking county level and sticking with it. Please do better at advocating for public safety.

Your talking point is why I’m not a conservative anymore. Insanely unconvincing if you actually comprehend sociology and economics.

Same to you. I hope you can find the courage to educate yourself eventually like I did. Our country would be a better place if more did.

Obviously, yeah. Just pointing out how ludicrous it is that they love to throw out punishments and ignore nuances first and then ask questions later

I don’t have a side here. I just want safe streets. I’ve been talking about Epstein since 2012.

Don’t really care how old you are but if you’ve cared about the Epstein files since 2012 what are you doing in a chat titled “college summer chat”

What does caring about stopping pedophilia within our institutions of power have to do with responding to posts in my feed now?
