Years from now your children will either know a much worse existence than we know today, or it will much better. It all depends on whether or not you are going to allow the possibility of someone labeling you as racist to dissuade you from making a better world in the future for your children or not.

Abominations all of them.

In the future will your children have a safer existence than you, or will it get worse because you are afraid of being labeled something.

FIFY

I genuinely don’t care what label you give me.

The opinion and thoughts of leader that allowed his country to be overrun by violent invaders is as worthless as the deposits left on my lawn by my dog.

If only there was a real world example of a country putting into practice that which I’m advocating for so we could see if it works. Wait, El Salvador. How’d that turn out?

Furthermore, what do you have to say concerning the 162+ murders in Houston since 2021 that could have been prevented by implementing these policies? Since you like to deal in facts (at no point have I swayed from the utilization of facts), the fact of the matter is there are countless examples across this country in the form of funerals and police tape that prove that your argument isn’t theoretically flawed, it’s provably wrong.

You’re still missing the point by hiding behind diluted national percentages and trying to equate two completely different problems.
Nobody is saying every single arrest leads to a violent predator being released the next day. The issue is with the specific group of repeat violent offenders; the ones with multiple felony convictions for armed robbery, aggravated assault, carjacking, rape, or murder; who keep getting put back on the street through cashless bail, plea bargains that knock felonies down to misdemeanors, early releases, and soft DAs who treat them like minor nuisances.
Your .0015% and .06% numbers might look small when you water them down across every weed charge, traffic ticket, and misdemeanor in the country, but that doesn’t change what people see in high-crime cities day after day. The same names and faces keep showing up in police reports and news stories for new violent crimes. Families of the victims aren’t impressed by your national averages when their loved one is gone because the system let a known repeat offender walk again.
You claim those long rap sheets are mostly misdemeanors. In plenty of these real cases they aren’t, or the felonies get pled down exactly because of the policies we’re talking about. Average sentences on paper for carjacking or armed robbery don’t mean much when good time, overcrowding, and progressive prosecutors get them back out years earlier than the public expects. That revolving door has real body counts in Chicago, New York, LA, and plenty of other places.
Comparing this to unarmed black men shot by police still doesn’t work. Those incidents are rare relative to millions of police encounters, and most involve resistance or actual threats once the full context comes out. The repeat violent offender problem isn’t some media creation; it’s policy failure with measurable victims every single year.
El Salvador showed what happens when you stop cycling the worst offenders back onto the streets. Homicide rates dropped dramatically. We don’t have to copy it exactly, but we can enforce meaningful three-strikes laws for violent felonies, end no-cash bail for serious crimes, speed up prosecutions, and stop treating career predators like first-time shoplifters.
The Constitution doesn’t require us to keep releasing people who have already proven they have no respect for anyone else’s life, liberty, or property. It allows punishment after due process.
If these repeat violent offenders are really as insignificant as your percentages suggest, then why do the same patterns keep playing out in city after city? What’s your actual solution besides more stats and telling everyone they’re just like BLM activists? Because “the numbers are small so do nothing” isn’t keeping law-abiding citizens safe.

If these repeat violent offenders are really as insignificant as your percentages suggest, then why do we keep seeing 162+ preventable murders in Harris County since 2021 from people who should have been locked up? What’s your actual solution besides more stats and telling everyone they’re just like BLM activists? Because “the numbers are small so do nothing” isn’t keeping law-abiding Houstonians safe.

The “totalitarian” label gets thrown around way too easily here. El Salvador wasn’t some thriving democracy with perfect rights before Bukele, it was a narco hellhole where gangs like MS-13 literally controlled neighborhoods, extorted businesses, and murdered people at will. Regular citizens had zero “basic rights” to walk the streets safely or live without fear. Bukele’s mass arrests targeted gang members and violent offenders (not random jaywalkers), and violent crime plummeted. People there can actually live now.
Compare that to our revolving door: career criminals with 10+ priors out on bond again, committing more violence while victims and their families get the shaft. That’s not “respecting the Constitution”, that’s disrespecting the rights of law abiding Americans to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Founders never intended the system to protect predators over productive citizens.
We don’t have to copy El Salvador 1:1 (we’re not a tiny country). But we can do 3-strikes laws that actually mean life without parole for violent repeat offenders, end cashless bail for serious crimes, speed up prosecutions, and build more prisons instead of sanctuary policies and revolving-door releases. Plenty of states had harsher habitual offender laws for decades without becoming dictatorships. The Constitution allows for punishment of the guilty after due process. It doesn’t require we keep letting them loose to victimize more people.
Calling any push for real consequences “shitting on what it means to be American” is a stretch. Safety and order are pretty foundational to a free society too. What’s your alternative that actually stops the repeat killers and rapists we see every single day in the headlines?

If we really cared about safety, we would kill or incarcerate everyone. It’s the only way to really ensure no crime will be committed.

Is everyone committing the crimes? Or are there irrefutable patterns?

Maybe instead of blaming these patterns we can blame inanimate objects for these patterns occurring.

There are only two barriers to the darkness; cost, moving away. These two options are the only ones that can be used today. Unfortunately they both make the cost of living more expensive for everyone else.
