People are really getting sick of things like side shows, smash and grab robberies, car breakins. Small businesses are closing because of this. The Alameda County DA doesn’t want to prosecute offenders, victims feel they are not being represented. So given all that, it doesn’t surprise me at all that voters aren’t eager to do any favors for convicted criminals.

You know what the most ghoulish shit is about libs? Y'all stopped pretending cruel and unusual punishment was only for rapes and murders and now stealing a sandwich is enough to get you to pay with your life's time for a few years.

Maybe demand all the media, agriculture and tech billionaires y'all have to stop wage theft, antitrust practices, rent/food gouging and outright contracting prison slaves and you wouldnt have so many homeless people that still have to eat and inner city youth desperate to make a dollar any way they can to escape their police-occupied communities.

I’m making an observation. I didn’t say how I voted, now did I? But go ahead and downvote me. ML folks.

why are you scared to say you think incarcerated people deserve to be subjected to involuntary servitude? feels too slimy to say out loud?
