Your suggestion has already been tested. The dems controlled both house of Congress AND the White House. Why didn't they fix the problem?

If you'd like to volunteer to walk through Newark, Camden, or Trenton alone, especially at night, be my guest.

Even the "nice" areas of Philadelphia, such as Rittenhouse Square, are threatening at night.

Check out Philly's mayoral history side-by-side with the condition of the city.
Anything stand out?

We would end up with Detroit or Flint Michigan........

This logic is simply mindboggling to me.
Let me get this straight: You have actual proof that every person in a jail for drugs is a person that has torn families apart. Where do you come up with this stuff.

What kind of twisted logic is that except to say, according to you, we should throw every person in jail that has cheated on a spouse or just divorced someone since that tears families apart. May as well throw every alcoholic in jail too who has drank and ruined marriages and their families.

Quit running peoples lives for them, you're not very good at it.

Heaven forbid anyone be inconvenienced before screening them for dementia or felonies.

This could be solved the same retaliatory way republicans solve their problems. Blue states should simply deport the charles mansons back over to red states where they came from. Chicago's biggest problems were always the imports from surrounding states emptying their jail houses by filling the greyhound buses with one way tickets. West Virginia doesn't care for the human refuse importing itself from Detroit peddling drugs to school kids & setting up meth houses either.

Would you rather go about things differently, or must things get ugly?
Ugly is good. Confrontation is all these thugs understand. I'm not sure where you are going with that whimsical Charles Manson detour... but good luck with that. I fully support cracking a few skulls if people choose to be thugs...You can like that or not.

Your little touchy feely "let's give them a hug" approach to solving crime is nuts. Don't forget to blame the guns. You don't want your other liberal minded friends to disown you.

If we just take the time to understand the criminals then maybe we can use therapy to inspire them to rehabilitate.

(This is a central tenet of democratic party crime prevention)

Let me ask you a hypothetical question. If the country physically divided into two parts, conservative and liberal, and everyone got to choose to which of the two areas they wanted to move, where do you think the criminals would want to go?

And stupidity seems to be the result of the Democratic Party. Maybe you can validate this claim by comparing the number of high crime GOP areas vs Democratic ones.

Any coincidence most of them happen to be in Democratic strongholds
