Democrat says bill releasing dangerous felons early will help victims ‘heal’ According to Rep. Debra Lekanoff (D-Bow), reducing sentences for violent felons isn’t just about giving criminals another chance—it’s somehow a path for victims to “heal.” Apparently, victims are supposed to find solace in knowing that their attackers are back on the streets years ahead of schedule. House Bill 1274 (HB 1274) retroactively eliminates “juvenile points” from an offender’s score, which means anyone currently serving time for an adult conviction where past juvenile crimes factored into their sentence is now entitled to resentencing. Why? The bill claims it’s because “black, indigenous, and people of color are disproportionately impacted by prior juvenile felony adjudications.” In other words, too many “black, indigenous, and people of color” committed crimes as juveniles and have to live with the consequences. This isn’t about helping kids who made a mistake—these are full-grown adults who committed violent crimes and are now poised to get massive sentence reductions, whether their victims like it or not. When Democrats push soft-on-crime policies, they usually try to mask the reality with buzzwords like “restorative justice” and “reform.” But HB 1274 takes the dishonesty to a new level.
HB 1274 includes provisions that ensure resentencing is conducted judiciously, with judicial discretion and consideration of public safety. The bill also aims to address documented racial disparities in sentencing, reflecting a commitment to equitable justice. Resources saved from reduced incarceration costs are allocated to victim support services, such as therapy and relocation assistance, aiming to address victims' needs. So pure racist fever dream.
So.... A Black guy beats up a White guy and gets out early because he is Black? (Black guy has been doing this shit since he was 9 years old) And.... the money saved is used to help the poor White guy have more support services and needs from being beat up? (He shouldn't of been beat up in the first place) And.... the Black guy is able to do more crime when he gets out early? (You know this shit is going to happen) And the White guy is given therapy and relocation? (What the fuck)? That should make White guy feel real cozy. He gets beat up, the turd who beat him up gets out early, and he is getting some wonderful services to make him feel better. This is complete bullshit. You, Tuxan, are a fucking idiot along with every other liberal assed Democrat. If we could just get rid of all of you the world would be a better place. Fuck your racist shit. (You can replace "White guy" with Asian guy as they randomly get beat up also for no good reason).
I never got beat up but it's pretty clear you did. Ipatent was probably raped in prison after committing some white collar fraud. Was it just like this?
They were judiciously sentenced the first time around, with their juvenile record taken into account, as should be.
Haiti, Honduras, Venezuela, and El Salvador also released a lot of their prisoners early so that they can "heal." The are healing in Denver and Long Island, NY right as we speak. Not sure where their victims go to heal. The graveyard in many instances.
I would be happy to denounce this bill as wrong. Who agrees with me that pardoning J6ers was also wrong?
