This crazy lady spouting off again...

AOC Calls for ‘Abolishment’ of ‘Carceral System’ in America




“I want to abolish our carceral system that’s designed to trap Black and Brown men,” AOC told a rally of Turner supporters in Cleveland. “I want justice, I want peace, and I want prosperity. That’s what I want.”


So all of her ideas have been top notch entertainment, this has not failed to amuse.

She may get some traction afterall, the left has lost it and will accept any and all extreme ideas.




“If we want to reduce violent crime, if we want to reduce the number of people in our jails, the answer is to stop building more of them,” Ocasio-Cortez said.


Thoughts? Praises?

I say we do it.call their bluff. Abolish the police ,abolish the prisons take care of yourselves while the cancer that is the democrat party destroys itself. Then after all the convicts have killed all the corrupt politicians and each other, the red states swoop in and rebuild from the ashes.

I had to look up "Carceral" to get some history on the term.

Hmm, so the first question that jumps to my mind is - How are we suppose to manage and reduce violent crime without enforcement and punishment?

I think any society, regardless of its composition, will be afflicted with crime and violence. In nature, it is generally dealt with much more finality that civilized society. Is what we currently have the best solution? Probably no, but removing it is probably not the best answer...

No need to rebuild. We’ll just plant some ground cover and then add soybeans later.

A differing opinion does not always indicate mental illness. There seems to be a lot of concern for the mental health of people on the left side of the isle.

They can be wrong, or misguided or overly-optimistic, but they don't have to be mentally ill.

Just what is a problem with

''“I want to abolish our carceral system that’s designed to trap Black and Brown men,”

What is wrong with that. By now we all should know that people that are held to lower class status in this country are more apt to be targeted for imprisonment.

''I want justice''. What's wrong with that

''I want peace''. What's wrong with that.

I want prosperity. Noting ''crazy about that either.

She also said.

''“If we want to reduce violent crime, if we want to reduce the number of people in our jails, the answer is to stop building more of them,”

While this may sound crazy to some it takes on a very different meaning when we understand that to a very large degree our penal system is now a privately owned system that relies for it's profit upon the incarceration of as many people as possible.

That statement also takes on meaning that was intended by her statement but left out of the quote from the OP


“The answer is to make sure that we actually build more hospitals, we pay organizers, we get people mental health care and overall health care, employment, etc. It’s to support communities, not throw them away.”

Use that money to help rather than condemn.

AOC is a total idiot, but I can agree with some of what she's saying. Our prison system definitely needs an overhaul, and building more prisons is not the answer. On these two points we can agree, but the rest of that is mostly nonsense.

I don't find her amusing, I find it terrifying that people like her are part of the legislative process in this country.

By her logic, she's giving everyone permission to rob her with no consequence?

Legalize weed and release all non-violent drug offenders. Polls show a majority support legalizing weed.

It's really not hard. It would be the fastest and easiest way to make massive changes to our penal system.

So, when there's wide support for something and it's within her power to advocate for, why is she not doing that? She doesn't want a solution. She wants her solution, which will also come encumbered with many trillions of dollars in green new deal spending and probably will have no impact on the quality of life for prisoners.

Okay. Go talk to Joe since he was the one that wrote the law (his biggest bit of legislation passed into law). And then talk to Kamala as she built a career on it as well.

The problem is that there seems to be a growing element in society which believes the people who choose to remain in their lower class status should also be held to a lower class standard where behavior and self control are concerned. Jail *should* be a motivator to do better and be better, unfortunately it isn't... that's the ultimate puzzle here... what, short of vastly expanding capital punishment, will motivate these lower class citizens to improve themselves to an acceptable bahavioral standard?

They need to do it slow enough that the feds can yank firearm rights on the backside of states legalizing.
Hence the id scanning at all the dispensaries.

“If we want to reduce violent crime, execute the seriously violent criminals.
