Whole truth: Ramsey Orta, a thug with a long list of prior convictions including armed robbery, was arrested three weeks after the killing of Eric Garner, in a completely unrelated encounter, for possession of a stolen handgun.

And we've already established that criminals don't have rights. Eric Garner was selling black market cigarettes when confronted, he refused to ID, resisted, and died in the struggle.

Prisons should be cleared of about 80% of their inmates. Would sure simplify things.
Also, more kids should have households in which they grow up with two married parents.

As time has passed and the argument has remained essentially static, I begin to wonder if you (meaning all liberal extremists, not just you specifically) don't perceive reality in the same way as the rest of us.

Potheads: You should, like, legalize marijuana and then tax it, man. That'd be like, a super way to reduce crime, ya know?
mgeoffriau: See how taxing tobacco causes violence and death?

When I first saw you saying things like this (eg: ironically implying that criminals have all of the same rights as citizens), I assumed that you were being sarcastic.

i realize that their rights aren't always protected, like the right to breathe. hands up.
