You're still being vague. Are you talking about bail? Are you talking about charges being dropped. There must be more to your question. Isn't there a specific event that prompted this post? Or at least some evidence that liberals like crime?

You really think there is anything worth visiting in high crime areas?

As to NYC, you can safely go to all the tourist attractions at Christmastime. You will be fine.

They are more outraged over a mean tweet than someone beaten or burned to death, businesses looted or homes and buildings burned. Lets just say, not the sharpest tools in the shed.
That's how it seems but it makes no sense. Only thing that makes sense is the left can relate more to criminals. 2 of a kind like to flock together.

Why would someone not want to be safe by keeping criminals in jail where they belong. Keep them off the streets to protect the citizens. It's common sense to keep citizens safe yet it's not what they believe. It's crazy.

These criminals with long list of criminal records are released over and over and over. Keep the danged dangerous person in jail where they can't keep repeating the crimes. Punish them and maybe they might ....just might learn a lesson!!!!

It aggravates the heck out of me that the left have no common sense. It's definitely an upside world we live in where the left believe everything right is wrong and everything wrong is right. CRAZY.

They eat n drink fear daily. Listen to their radio stations, TV hosts/ announcers and the pulpit.

How am I being vague? I am asking the left why they like crime? In dem cities, the crime is running rampant hence why I'm asking why the dem cities would have the policies on crime that they have that is causing high crimes. I'm sorry, I thought that should have been crystal clear. lol

Delusional personality disorder explains both the safetyism and social contagion being instantiated by the contemporary left. Liberalism is not a mental disorder, but Intersectional Marxism is absolutely mass-psychosis.

How long did it take you to compose those nonsensical sentences?

You feel sorry for the criminals but not sorry to keep innocent people safe on the streets?

Please explain what your end game is for promoting so much crime?
I think they like the excitement of possibly getting murdered or beaten.

I worked in criminal justice and was a prison administrator for over twenty years. Your premise is utterly false. Take some time off posting this nonsense and research the actual statistics and process involved. Start with your own state -- they probably issue regular reports. What is the most common crime resulting in prison terms in your state? What is the cost of incarceration? How have the numbers risen or fallen over the past decade? How many people are held in jails or prisons who have not been formally convicted? Report back and let us know what you find out. We'll wait....
