Billionaire agitator George Soros has penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal defending ‘his’ District Attorneys against accusations that their soft-on-crime approach is responsible for soaring crime across the country.
“I have been involved in efforts to reform the criminal-justice system for the more than 30 years I have been a philanthropist … Yet our system is rife with injustices that make us all less safe,” Soros writes, adding: “We need to acknowledge that black people in the U.S. are five times as likely to be sent to jail as white people. That is an injustice that undermines our democracy.”
In recent years, reform-minded prosecutors and other law-enforcement officials around the country have been coalescing around an agenda that promises to be more effective and just. This agenda includes prioritizing the resources of the criminal-justice system to protect people against violent crime. It urges that we treat drug addiction as a disease, not a crime. And it seeks to end the criminalization of poverty and mental illness.
According to Soros, citing “the most rigorous academic study,” the “violent crime in recent years has generally been increasing more quickly in jurisdictions without reform-minded prosecutors,” and “Murder rates have been rising fastest in some Republican states led by tough-on-crime politicians.”
Notice the focus on “rising” vs. “historic highs” experienced across major cities, under the watch of ‘his’ DAs.
Soft on crime DAs and judges definitely are responsible for the horrible crime waves. No one fears punishment anymore. That is what restrained a lot of would-be thugs.
