9. how do you know the "results"

May 2016

weren't the case before the reforms? What makes you think what might work in, say Germany, will work in a completely different culture like ours? Canada's and our cultures aren't even the same.

we don't have the resources to lock up every murder and rapist and violent criminal forever. It's a non-starter. It's about as realistic as training unicorns to prevent gun violence in Chicago; wouldn't that be amazing... But it's literally never going to happen.

Actually we do, or would if we simply repeal a lot of stupid laws that make felons out of otherwise peaceful people, like the average pot grower. Most violent crimes are committed by very few people. The 80/20 rule is pretty universal.

Of course, there is Richmond, California
