Would you hire a criminal? 1 in 4 American adults have a criminal record.

Depends on the crime. Also there are liability issues for the employer if he hires a violent ex-con that goes on to commit another crime at the workplace. A family is suing the Navy because they claim they knew the Navy Yard shooter was crazy and did nothing.

Things aren't as clear cut as the bleeding hearts would like.

What do you suggest we do with those who have criminal records? I am asking because we have to do something about that. The ex-cons will be back in society once their sentence is done. What do you propose we do with those who are deemed terminally unemployable?

I'm done being part of "it takes a village".

Too many idiots think they can do whatever the hell they want and come back for more.
I jumped ship, went AWOL, pulled a "John Galt".

You have people jailed for personal amounts of pot yet someone who's been arrested with DWI multiple times can still drive.
