If every county was had a sheriff like this one..

When the mentally unstable are considered perfectly acceptable by some, we know there is a problem.
When it is considered a good idea to release a multi felon murder suspect on his personal recognizance, we know there is a problem.

This is only two of the many problems we never saw years ago.

[Busher]

There is no middle between right and wrong. No grey area.

I wouldn't have believed it years ago but I'll wager you equate right and wrong with right wing people and left wing people.
This is beyond ridiculous.

Interesting take on the obvious political "misteps" that have been taken which have cost innocent citizens their lives.

Is that like forgiving Juan Orlando Hernández for his mistakes. He probably said he was sorry.

More to come ... but, is that really your answer for being soft on crime and refusing to enforce or prosecute laws on the books? 

I'll try this again.  How many innocent lives have been lost due to that approach?

Soft on crime? I don't have the authority to pardon anyone.... Some softhead does though.

What's ridiculous about right and wrong? Are you one those who think they are only social constructs? That's just ridiculously wrong.

No it's simpler than that. I recall when conversation led to compromise... a novel but dead and buried concept. 160 odd years ago it was North vs South, now it's red vs blue. You people seem to be on a path to self destruct and should that happen, the rest of us need to be ready to duck.

...um...take yourself back to Texas in 1860 and that slavery thing.  Or Spain in the 1500s and the heresy thing.  You can come up with plenty of other examples.  "Right" and "wrong" have been redefined, from time to time, forever.

[AKIron]

Right and wrong have always been right and wrong regardless of what people called or call them. Some things like murder have always been obviously wrong. Stealing from one person to give to another also wrong but apparently less obviously so to some. Not punishing criminals is another wrong not so obvious to some.

Soft on crime, making excuses for criminals, bailing out rioters...sounds like things a crumbling society does..

Those 10 rules on those old stone tablets are just way too hard for many to follow these days..

The fact you can help yourself to $950 in CA with nothing but a wrist slap is an indication of the decline we are witnessing..

It's just reparations right...

I gather from all this rage about how criminals are treated is based upon some unique definition of crime. Maybe some of these names might ring a bell:  Daniel Page Adams, Michael Gareth Adams, Justin Dee Adams, Zachary Jordan Alam, Terry L. Allen, Farhad Azari.... I could go on and on... all convicted of violent attacks on law enforcement. But it would seem they must have all said "I am sorry Daddy" because these along with others were forgiven.

I could also offer a list of non violent criminals, the worst have to be Juan Hernandez, Changpeng Zhao and Trevor Milton.

But no matter what is done in this theater of division, "soft on crime" is a now a very subjective accusation.

[AKIron]

Rage? I see no rage here. Well, with an exception or two. Certainly there is rage "out there". Peaceful protesting will never be wrong. Rioting and looting will never be right.

Both sides suck butt as far as crime goes ..pardons were foolish and should not have been allowed but at least he signed them out in the open minus the autopen - but our liberally run cities are the worst..

I think both are corrupt sides of the same coin for the 100th time..but I am for strict law enforcement in whatever form and by whatever side has the balls to implement it..
