At the Inky, Will Bunch uses the recent shooting (gang fight?) in Sacramento as a starting point to consider whether self-proclaimed tough-on-crime prosecutors, who tend disproportionately to target minorities and the poor (remember New York City’s “broken windows” policy?), make a difference. After crunching the numbers, he argues that they do not, despite their preening posturing and pandering to the prejudiced.

A snippet:

Zoom out a little to focus on policy at state level and you’ll find that Republicans have failed so far to implement an agenda that results in safer streets. Indeed, a new report from the centrist think-tank Third Way found “the five states with the highest murder rates, all Trump-voting states, had rates at least 240% higher than New York’s murder rate and at least 150% higher than California’s.” Perhaps that’s not as surprising as it seems, since conservative states tend to have a more entrenched gun culture, and laws to support it.

They go together like love and Cupid.

You won’t find one without the other.

Once more, politeness becomes child’s play.

And, once more, we are reminded that “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

We are a failing society.
