Are they kidding?
Is intentionally trying to look more nurturing on crime and coddling murderers the best that Democrats have this year, as they attempt to show proof of life to their party registrants?
Not exactly a winning strategy in South Dakota.
The dems have yet to capitalize on the rift in the gop and do any meaningful reforms.
Making life just a bit more difficult for the person who has to answer the phone, are we?
Just adding more words to the word salad they have to spew every time somebody calls?
“intentionally trying to look more nurturing on crime and coddling murderers ”
This is typical of liberals, why the surprise?
Wasn’t funny the first time you posted this.
It used to be the word “corrections” meant “rehabilitation.”
The idea was that criminals could have their behavior “corrected,” not just punished.
The change from the concept of “crime and punishment” to “crime and correction,” has brought us to where we are now, where “correction” means punishment. If we start calling it “rehabilitation,” that word will become synonymous with punishment, and everybody engaged in the practice of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Wildlife Rehabilitation, Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation, and the Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings will have to change what they say they do to something less punitive.
