HuffPost graduation welcomes a lively, Kind debate in the comment section. If you ever do that you are in for a startling surprise, That your chosen law-Abiding citizen should worry and worry a lot abot jail diseases. And it generally way too often, us. But if you are not hispanic or black then i realize why you are not worried and it has nothing to do with you being a law- abiding homeowner. If you are white then leave it to the criminal court agencies to target the poor hispanic and black residents of our communities to fill up the overcrowded jails so that the real criminals spend onlu like 10% of their sentence inside. Startled? I am not, I'm very disgusted at the whole lot. Can you think of stronger ways to spend 1.5 billion usd? I sure hope so as this will drastically affect our communities good or bad depending on how this money is spent.
Why oh why do the people in this city want to share the road with the criminals? Do they like their children getting gunned down by gang members who are out on bail because there was no room for them in jail while awaiting trial or their grandmother being run down in a crosswalk by a repeat offender drunk driver because he could only serve 10% of his sentence nevertheless there is no room. Build up the jail. While we are at it build 20 new state prisons to hold the 40000 prisoners. We can pay for it by reduction of prisoner healthcare and perks and make them work while incarcerated and their salaries go back to the state to pay for their incarceration. Bottom line is keep the criminals in jail so ordinary people can get on with our lives in safety. Keep fighting Sheriff Baca one does an excellent job.
I am not in criminal. That is being reborn into a safe place to live which now have Sheriff's vicious crackdown on crime in Unincorporated East Los Angeles. City Terrace is now as safe as Silverlake or Echo Park and middle-class families are starting to move into the area. We have no need for job training or schools for criminals. We need hundreds of beds and cells to hold them. Job training should be for law abiding people who need a little help in life leaving poverty like someone working their butt off at 2 minimum wage jobs to feed their kids and follows the law
