Where is the autopsy on Neely? Do we know how he really died. I took a long time to get analysis of the George Floyd death.

Crime Inc., Homeless Inc., GreenEnergy Inc., Public Education Inc.. As you well know it's all part of the plan. My local "representative" first republican in 25 years is one of the worse too.

The people in charge of these cities can no longer be reasoned with. These debates are no longer about what the top marginal tax rate should be, or the best way to implement a school lunch program. These people are under the spell of a suicide cult, hell bent on destroying our access to energy, fuel, water and food, the stuff of life that keeps civilization functioning. You have to physically move away from them.

Neely should have been safely in jail.

"Jordan Neely didn’t die because he was mentally ill or because he was black. He died as a direct result of being a known threat released into society by a government that no longer sees the protection of the individual citizen as its responsibility." You should have bolded this. It is worth highlighting. I might have gone so far as adding an exclamation mark or five.

There is another side of the coin here, and I'm specifically using the word coin. Where is the savings from not incarcerating the criminals going? Note too that this behavior is predominately in the Blue States - so why is that?

How much you want to bet that the $$$ savings is somehow winding up in political candidates coffers??? If not where is it going?

Doing some research, I wanted to know what was US cost for incarceration for a year and how many prisoners. Well, I hate to say it but that is not a consistent number to find. I saw several articles listing various numbers and the range was as follows: Article in 2017 stated $182 Bil, article from 2021 showed only $81 Bil, and an article from this year (2023) showed $300 bil.

Also, the average # of prisoners showed ranges of 1.2 to over 2 million, latest showing 2.3 million.

Make of this as you will...but it does appear there is a lot of $$$ to be had by releasing the prisoners.
