California is Going Down
California appears to be borrowing a chapter from the former USSR's playbook. When you can't pay the bills and you can't twist anyone's arm, start releasing the criminals. Los Angeles will start with 5,000 felons from prison. Perhaps more will come later. So much for a decreasing crime rate...

Re: California is Going Down
Maybe they will get jobs and stimulate the economy, oh wait not even non felons can get work in Cali. In fact felonies are on the rise. Maybe we should let them into another state. Or maybe we should let felons join the army.

Re: California is Going Down
If you study the playbook from the USSR, the crime rate will shoot up as the economy is tanking and all former police, army, navy, felons, and thieves will start impromptu security forces. I call them Thugs, Inc. They will watch your house or your neighborhood for protection money or you can hire them to accompany you for a weekend outing or to move some property.

Re: California is Going Down
A large percentage of felons are non-violent drug offenders. Drug-related crimes are on the rise as spiritually crippled people seek solace in anything they can find. Not all felons are murderers, rapists, etc. Just saying...

Re: California is Going Down
I read someplace that the USA has the highest prison population compared to other nations and that is mainly due to drug laws.
The laws are unconstitutional and need to be repealed. Like prohibition the more the government interferes with people's lives the worse things get. If we repeal the drug laws half the prisons would be closed. |

Re: California is Going Down
Anything marijuana related is a joke to be in prison for. I don't smoke either to say that btw.

Re: California is Going Down
Companies receive benefits from the government when they hire felons!

Re: California is Going Down
5000 convicts is not that many to choose from, hurry up and hire them before other states come here to recruit them!!!!!!!!!!! The money makers are in the fine print and earmarks of legislation. Better yet go right to jail and get the cream of the crop.
