Harris did the same thing in California...
Correct. That's why I will never trust a hypocrite.
Kmaila talked of the crime bill (law) causing mass incarceration, but she used it to put away more black men and did her best to keep them in jail.
Exactly.
She is absolutely the face of predatory prosecution. Look up how many people she put in jail that have been exonerated by now.
my dad hates the prison system but wouldnt listen to me when I told him about how she denied probation for low level nonviolent offenders so she could force them to fight wildfires for pennies. Literally used her prisoners as a slave workforce
@@Mrdestiny17 Wow, how 1935 Jim Crow Alabama of her, considering what a "progressive" she is. 🙄
@@joeday4293 She's not a progressive, she's a Communist.
the sad part is most of those politicians are still in office, theyre just a lot older and a lot more crooked
And alot richer
And who was the sponsor? BIDEN, that's right liberal's elected a RACIST for President.
@@susiejo143 and more senile
I wouldn’t say most. The Senate is very different now than what it was in 2010. There are some old holdovers but there’s way more new faces than there used to be
One made it to the White House.
Additionally, the part of the bill regarding “assistance for women that were victims” is laughable, when drafted by two of the biggest perpetrators in D.C.
Not only DV against women, but it's a known fact that while Bill Clinton was governor he was a cocaine addict & looked for young girls. I'm trying to remember where I read about it. His limo driver had to drive him around.
There's many stories about him. We know for sure about Lewinsky. We've seen him at Epstein's.
Just pay attention to what the high up Dems are fighting against & you can tell what they're actually involved in.
😱😳 Hahaha 😂
It's so funny how they don't talk about why crime went up in the first place. They took all of the jobs out of the urban areas and sent our factory's overseas. If they had never pushed our jobs out of this country to begin with, crime wouldn't have been so bad in the early nineties.
Nailed it on the head there. I was only like 8 years old when that bill was passed but i noticed my neighborhood (Detroit) was getting even scarier than it usually was.
🎯 “They” love creating chaos so they have something to save us from 😢 the. They come in like the heroes, ugh 🤦🏻♀️
Both NAFTA and the Crime Bill were both written under Poppy GHW Bush(former CIA director) presidency, but they knew neither would pass under the R party.
Since Bill Clinton was friends with the Bush family and part of the Iran-Contra scandal, with his presidency and him being part of the D party,both NAFTA and Crime Bill passed.
Add in the government supplying gangs with firearms and introducing crack to inner city neighborhoods and it’s like they created a problem to provide a solution for that would enrich all their buddies by massively increasing using taxpayer money to fund prisons.
We are seeing a ton of jobs leaving urban areas again due to all the rioting and looting so it is a double edge sword. Investors are not going to invest in drug and crime ridden areas.
I’m so impressed that when new things come up, you actually go and look them up! We need more of that.
Exactly why I am apart of the LFR family love that he's not afraid to look at different perspectives and uses great critical thinking and expressing his perspectives on said topics.
Totally.
I've subscribed on the expectation to see more like this.
Google shows different results to different people on the same search terms, and it's amazing watching my fellow Americans resist the gaslighting and lies from the evil current *Administration and Democrat Party-of-the-Klan.
You should have looked at it before you voted for him!!
Yeah a lot people don't want to hear the truth or just don't believe it.
State prisons made huge money from the federal government for that crime bill, that's why Kamelhoof prosecuted at an all time record
Here in Brazil we have the opposite problem. Not enough prisons. I know a neighbor who's committed murder of a woman with a bat. He served just 2 years in prison.
Private ’For Profit’ Prisons! Too
I think that trump got rid of criminal justice reform
Can u believe a person that only got 2 percent of votes from her own state is VP??? Unbelievable!
Nobody wanted her but joe blow.
@@asaventurasderobson Maybe we could quit making criminals of ordinary Americans to fill these for-profit prisons, and take some truly toxic Brazilians off your hands instead?
Imagine being Kamala criticizing the bill all while getting convictions for petty drugs, the irony.
Yep , people ignore it
And, it may just be rumor, but didn't she keep people incarcerated passed their sentences? Or something like that? (I can't look it up right this minute)
@@cindyknudson2715 probably, she wanted to jail parents for kids attendance
Politicians are evil liars. There's no irony, just lies.
@@cindyknudson2715 When you read about "predatory prosecution," they are talking about Kamala Harris. As San Francisco DA and California AG, she was one of the very worst of the last 20 years in this regard. She is responsible for multiple people of color either being railroaded on false charges, or being kept in jail long after they had paid their debt to society.
The root cause of high crime? Breakdown of the family: fatherless homes, mom not at home with the kids. What has any politician or crime done to address the root cause?
I would argue that these are direct consequences of FDR’s New Deal. Increased reliance on a welfare state creates a society where the father is replaced by the government, and the mother has to work several jobs to feed the family. There would need to be a legislative overhaul and maybe some tax benefits to incentive families to abandon welfare, but that assumes the government is willing to relinquish their power…
Part of the problem? Family court.
The black community never recovered! This is why i'm a black conservative and Trump supporter today!!
President Trump's efforts to alleviate the damage done get overlooked. Hidden from general public knowledge.
@@cindyknudson2715 yeah we were 100% gaslighted about him! I can give you a long list of awesome shit Trump did!
Never underestimate the ability of do-gooders to make bad problems worse.
"The road to hell was paved with good intentions."
replace the words "do-gooders" with "government".
"Bleeding hearts" work in emotion. Not logic. The path to hell is paved in good intentions as they say. Sometime it's questionable.
What's the funniest thing you can say to an Indian?
"I'm from the US government, and I'm here to help you."
just know that most new ideas are awful and the few successful ones tend to cause more issues. It's good to be a voice of opposition, it'll help weed out good ideas from bad ones
The government did what the government always does. Scare people into giving up their, and everyone else's, liberties.
It bothers me that she said that bill did "some good" and then stated it made 11 types of firearms illegal. EVERY GUN LAW IS AN INFRINGEMENT PERIOD.
I was arrested for P.O.M. In 2003, due to the 94 crime bill marijuana was labeled a gateway drug and I was charged with a felony I still carry to this day. Being a drug charge I get no access to government help, while rapists, pedos, and murderers still get government assistance like welfare and food stamps.
What?! Why would murderers, rapists and child molesters be able to get benefits? Aren’t those felonies?
this is the biggest issue for me...police and prison reform... this bill was the absolute worst thing our government did to its citizens. how the Clintons and every democrat has got the black vote is incomprehensible to me.
Ikr it boggles my mind tbh
All Republicans except two voted Yes on the Bill.. so it was a horrible mistake on both sides of the aisle
More funding to police is good. But pay states to increase and keep people incarcerated thats crazy, and they claimed it was to reduce crime. If they wanted to reduce crime they would pay to rehabilitate people to get out of jail and get a job and do not turn to crime again, they would pay for increasing jobs and opportunities, pay for help families stand together and have their children at school and things like that.
@@luisclaudioguerin4870 That would certainly help, but probably would not eradicated recidivism. In organized crime, once someone becomes a member of the gang, turning against that gang is often a death sentence of its own by other gang members, but not directly by the gang leaders. Gang members looking to get who report the leaders are often the ones that end up dead on the streets or targets in drive by shootings where innocent people are also shot and killed.
Democrats biggest strength is their ability to sell a narrative to people. Backed by media and big tech just makes it easier
_“I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.”_ *― Mother Teresa* (I love this quote)
Focusing on what we DON'T WANT just brings more of it, instead, we need to focus on what we DO want. Every "War on _______" thing we've done has backfired: war on drugs, war on crime, war on poverty, and so on. We don't incentivize the right things.
Pay welfare case workers a bonus for every person lifted out of poverty. Pay states for every incarcerated person who is rehabilitated and on their feet again. Pay homeless shelters for every person who gets a job.
If we incentivize the right things, we'll get somewhere.
Mother Teresa was a Fraud.

All bills should EXPIRE after a time limit.
Make Congress debate the CONTINUITY of laws, programs, and funding.
Yes this one thing would solve so many problems
Don't forget about term limits.
One of the bigger issues with that bill was the mandatory minimum sentences
That was -The Point- of the bill ... to keep the Prison Farm running ...
#MaximumSentence
#EveryCrime
#EveryTime
Was the 3 Strike Rule apart of that?
@@tenngirl4trump yes
The mandatory minimum sentences started in 1973 with a Rockefeller laws, and as more people advocated against that law, they implemented this which extended the mandatory minimum sentences.
@@ChurchNietzsche yeah, no dout..powder ( unless it was a Distro Chrg) was like nothing...maybe a fine or program..very light) but godforbid it was brought back into the tiniest pebble then the Mando Min was sick like 15 or 20...depending what state was something crazy
It made it profitable to the politicians as well as their friends.
Hey Van, I actually wrote my senior thesis (this year) on this very topic for a degree in criminal justice. My research was primarily focused on exploring the relationship between drug crime and homicide rates, mostly during the crack cocaine epidemic, although there is a section discussing what makes someone more likely to commit a crime. The four primary factors that contribute to the likelihood of someone committing a crime are (1) motive, (2) control, (3) opportunity, and (4) social constraints.
1. Motive, in this case, references the factors that provoke crimes. One of the most popular motives for crime is economic benefit. Several researchers have suggested that when the potential economic benefit from crime (selling drugs, etc.) is higher than the potential economic harm (losing income by going to jail, etc.), then individuals are much more likely to commit a crime.
2. Control refers to the government constraints on crime. This factor suggests that when governments are softer on crime, the rate of crime inevitably goes up. The most popular form of control, in this context, is a well-trained, well-armed, and well-staffed police force to discourage crime.
3. Opportunity is pretty straightforward. If the opportunity to commit a crime does not appears, it becomes significantly harder to commit a crime. Control and Opportunity are often closely linked because a well-trained, well-armed, and well-staffed police force increases control over crime and decreases opportunities for crime.
4. Social constraints are societal values and beliefs that influence someone's decision to commit a crime. If crime in a society is highly discouraged and heavily punished, fewer individuals will be inclined to commit crimes. Several others factors contribute in this category such as unemployment, underdevelopment, and inequality. When unemployment is down and more people have jobs, there is less opportunity to commit crime and less perceived economic benefit from crime because people are making their money a different way.
I enjoy watching the journey you are on, and figured I would write this long-winded comment since it happens to be a specialty of mine! Much love to you and the rest of the LFR Family!!
Great comment and info. Thank you
Don't forget that the federal government put crack in the inner-cities in the first place.
I knew she was on the left when she kept dancing around mandatory minimum sentences, they always take 10 minutes to give you half the story.
“They have the brightest people in the world working for them”. Lol 😂. Funniest quote of the day
Hey Van. I have a few things to say that you might find interesting. You were right about the 1980s. I remember those day very well. I grew up in North Las Vegas (North Town), class of 1984. I went to Rancho High School and used to hang out at Big Al's Arcade every now and again. That was the hangout for Stanley Tookie Williams and his crew. He was the founder of the Crips. In fact, I had a close friend who got caught up in all that gang-banging s***, took a shotgun blast to the face, and lived to tell about it.
Anyway, I remember back when the FBI was gunning hard to put and end to organized crime, which resulted in John Gotti being taken down, as well as the death of Anthony Spilotro, who was the mob boss in Vegas. When that happened it opened up a huge opportunity in the drug trade. Under the old Italian mob, the drug trade ran pretty smoothly, but after the Feds came down on the mob, LA street gangs swooped in to take over the trade. Many gangs were fighting for territory and dominance which resulted in drive-bys and general mayhem. It was a common occurrence in North Town back in the day.
So, in the early 1990s, after the Cold War ended, a lot of money that had previously been directed to foreign affairs, proxy wars, etc. was suddenly freed up as a sort of peace dividend. This gave the Clinton Administration the money to spend on financing prisons and increased police forces, etc. Also, I think private prisons became a thing around this same time, which increased the financial incentive to incarcerate more and more people. Also, I believe that under The Crime Bill, sentenced for sale/possession of crack cocaine was treated more harshly than sale/possession of the same amount of powder cocaine, which many people viewed as racist against Black people.
I believe that some people belong in prison, as someone who lived in an area of town where a few bad apples could make life miserable for a whole lot of decent people (of all races). However, the prison industrial complex operates to make a profit, just like any other business, and a lot of people got caught up on the system that probably didn't deserve the time they received. One of my close friends growing up did an obscene amount of time in the joint for something that was not all that horrible in my opinion. But, that's another story.
Sorry for the long message, but I though you might be interested.
A lot of people call work release programs slavery, but I've worked with lots of guys who never had a job, or any skills to get one who were work release workers. There were a few who messed up, but most of them were released from prison and had a job and enough money for a month's rent until they got their first real paycheck.
I think work release and prison education programs are a way better idea than just letting people back onto the streets as better criminals and no other options or opportunities. Punishment is important, but that doesn't really help without some sort of rehab. Most of the dudes I was in prison were comfortable there, like fat hamsters in a little cage, no worries at all, food comes three times a day, power and tv is free.
Yup, and then as the whole imprisonment becomes more and more of a revolving door for some, and a issue of political imprisonment for others, we're starting to see two different jails in America. One where there's the fat cats who do nothing and will be gone in a few months and people who are serving maximum sentinces and put into slight but entirely unnecessary danger and still not allowed into the work programs for bogus excuses from up above.
I totally agree! Same with the homeless there needs to be actual working programs in place to push people back on their feet 😢
Ive been to jail a lot too..having those programs are better than going to church and filling out booklets.
There are three classes of incarceration.
1 A bit of discipline and rehabilitation/education, maybe best for the young folks.
2. Repayment of debt to society, best for grown adults that willfully act like jackasses eg drunk drivers, embezzelers, and such, this is where chain gangs on public works are appropriate.(With appropriate systematic balance to prevent crooked wardens from extending the labor they get from a prisoner, like the period of labor cannot be extended beyond the original sentence for bad behavior, only the general incarceration can be extended. Thus reducing profit motive. Also the prison does not get paid more for chain gang work than for normal encarceration, it is a public service the benefits are directly to lower public taxes or cleaner roads and parks.)
3. protection of society, simple separation of the mentally deranged, this is not rehab and not repayment of a debt, this is the purpose of supermax, just keep the violent psychopaths locked out of society.
She said it right when she said, "The crime bill was the way for politicians to SAY they were doing something".
Not ACTUALLY do something, just SAY "we're doing something".
Hey Van, just want to say thank you for taking the time to look into things like this and I like the new thumbnail!
I was in the army from 85 to 99 active and I was way too busy that entire time. Politics was foreign to us other than the type we seen between the higher ranking guys. Social media has opened this up to the services now. I woke up to it when Sara Pailin was a running mate with McCain for the presidency. The media kept saying Sara was dumb and ignorant. She didn't seem that way listening to her. So I researched and learned the system.
American politics is like a needle stack with bits of hay in the middle,
nothing is meant to work for you, that's the whole point.
everything is designed to keep those little bits of hay in the middle safe 💪😂
McCain would have been so great. RIP
@@kricachula7546 Another POSSIBLE point of view: He was just the controlled opposition. Palin was chosen because she could be thrown under the bus with "no harm to anyone important". Everyone knew that Obama would win. Of course he would, our nation was obligated to PROVE it's not racist and it went out and voted to do just that. So, John "took one for the team" but got to have Palin, someone that no one had heard of, to protect his ego. The "loss" and any derision got tossed onto Palin and John got to add former "Presidential Candidate " to his resume.
That's just a possibility of course and probably not how that went down at all. Seems like an interesting thought experiment tho, don't you think?
@@cindyknudson2715 I do think that's entirely possible. But...I still would have loved to see McCain in office. And that's coming from a Lefty like me. Lol. Left of center to be precise. Lorrrddt though, y'all really go deep with the politicians acting sketchy. But you're probably right! 🤦🏼♀️
the moment she said 'assault weapons' you know her political leaning.... then I look at the hashtags and see this was an NBC report................. I would suggest watching other sources on this subject AS WELL to get the FULL story. I am glad you are looking these things up, but please be sure to see all sides to get the full story.
"They have the brightest people working for them"
That's not how the government works. The people that get jobs in government and progress up the ladder are those that are 1. a family member or friend of an existing employee, 2. someone that fits a race or gender slot that needs to be filled, 3. someone that graduated from an expensive school. (and many are 4. people that desire power or authority for the sake of controlling others)
Being bright, intelligent, having common sense, etc - NONE of these are factors in getting a job in the government. You have to think of EVERY job in government from the 3 letter agencies down to state and local level - as people who would also be on the board of your HOA... nothing more.
yup, people forget that school boards, teachers, and slow lazy DMV workers all work for a local government. Local is where it starts and how people climb the political ladder if they have to start from the bottom
you should watch steven crowder crime bill 1994 he explains it better
One thing not mentioned was the 3 strike law that required a minimum sentence for repeat offenders. If a person got caught stealing diapers and it was their 3rd strike, they could get the minimum for one of their previous crimes. The crime bill hasn't worked but we also can't let people break the law without some type of punishment.
Honest question: wasn't 3 strikes "only" in California? * i know CA represents 20% of the population of America, so its still a huge factor.
@@jmgonzalez4 you could be right. I thought all of the states had it.
California is not 20%. It's about 12%.
There was a federal 3 strikes law, but if I recall, it only applied to felonies and it was 3 strikes and the penalty was life in prison. I can see that being the case for three violent felonies, but for something like grand theft or other nonviolent offenses I believed it was too much.
Private prison was gained in this bill!!
Hey brother: totally digging your red pill journey! Been there myself, and I guess I always will be... to find the truth of how our country is being dragged down by these scurrilous politicians, esp on the left.
Thanks for taking us on the adventure
It's worth mentioning that there were many prisons that are PRIVATELY OWNED AND OPERATED. They weren't able to turn a profit, so SOMETHING had to be done.
In my Sustainability class in college, I learned about a little town named Letcher County, KY with a population of 22,700 people where most people live below the poverty line. The story was told by an NBC News anchor in a video on TH-cam titled, "After Coal Mine Shut Down, Community are Hoping for a Prison". To solve the poverty problem, the city leaders decided to build a prison so the town's people could get jobs and so that they could reduce the crime and drug addiction that has plagued the town and they went to the US Government to do it. They literally want to stand on the backs of people to solve their problems instead of encouraging businesses to come to the town to increase economic growth. I was horrified by what the town wants to do, and it just goes to show that, for some people, crime pays. Unfortunately, it pays in ways that devastate the lives of human beings. I am fairly new to politics and the more I learn the more I ache for humanity.
Should’ve shown the video of Hillary calling black men Super Predators.
Good call
@@TedKidd th-cam.com/video/j0uCrA7ePno/w-d-xo.html
basic economics. pay states for imprisoning people then it goes up, no surprise. increase taxes on businesses - you get less business. decrease taxes for business then it grows. pay people for being unemployed you get more people unemployed. same mechanic at play.
Trump signed a criminals justice reform bill by the way . Thank you Mr. Trump .
I remember here in Atlanta before the crime bill, the prisons were so overcrowded Dekalb county literally had to build tents just to hold prisoners.
One of the biggest complaints was much harsher sentencing of crack dealers over powder cocain dealers seeing as how crack was more prevelet in the poorer areas
Van, thank you.
Doing something feels better than not in the face of urgent needs. It's hard to wait, gather info and think about the long term impact. It's a pattern that plagues elected officials who don't think beyond immediate gains.
I literally just went to TH-cam to post a comment to you to tell you I am so very impressed with you and your commitment to educating yourself in the things that are important. My fiance and I have watched your reaction since you were doing reactions to Led Zeppelin ( my favorite band ever) and we just love and respect your journey. Your reactions have been binge watched by my fiance and myself and we feel so much hope that seemed hopeless before. You are spreading the most important message of all, and that is there is no and should be no issue in our Country that the truth will not cure. And you are finding out the truth. There should be no hatred. We're All American and until we all realize that we are in this together, we will forever be separated by the media and fake news. I love that you are getting involved in politics and the truth of the love that the average American has for the average American, no matter what the color is.... We're All American under one flag .. the only colors that should matter in this Country are the Red White and Blue. We need to recognize that before we ruin this Country for any Generations coming afterwards. God Bless you ❤🇺🇸
United we stand, Divided we fall!
If someone commits a violent crime, I want them in there for 100% of their time.
Yes there was a lot of false imprisonment but in my opinion those who commit violent crimes should have had to serve their full term no matter what
Hey Van, I’ve been watching a lot of your videos lately. I just wanted to say that I respect you for going out of your way to do your own research.
Great reaction and thank you for educating people that didn't know ❤️ Much love Van ❤️
his needs to be addressed... only 4 Congress members voted No on the Bill out of 100. Also it did pass with the Congressional Black Caucus voting Yes. One of the worst Bill to pass in congress and I hate that Biden and Clinton were the ones pushing it but they are not the only ones to blame.
I think it's great that you're willing and wanting to learn the truth, if only more people would, things would certainly change. The government likes to keep "We The People" ignorant so that we don't make the necessary changes.
They used the term called super predator, It meant if you were 13 and they caught you with a gun There was no way to rehabilitate you. They'd get 10 15 even 20 years.
Crime peaked in ‘91 and the money had to keep coming. A repugnant law was passed and the system stayed full. The law is considered unconstitutional and should be repealed. You know it doesn’t work when municipalities pass local legislation that provides “second chance” Xs 2 for first time and low level offenders/offenses.
This is also a part of this whole deal, these laws came right after they introduced Crack to the urban areas...
And kamala incarcerated non violent offenders for marijuana. Which when brought up, she laughed. Crazy world we living in bruh
🔥🔥🔥🔥
The CIA did and that was after the civil rights era i believe or early to mid 1900s, when most minorities moved into the inner cites the business packed up and moved out so the only way to make money was to sell drugs that the CIA introduced into these areas. Then they would get caught sentenced to prison and work for 30 cents a hour making jordan's
Not only the bill but the music industry played a much larger roll in mass incarnation than most people know. The music industry and private prisions worked their ass off to fill prisons all over america.
Um...She never did mention the mandatory minimum sentencing. That means judges who see slap on the wrists cases had to give at least the minimum. She didn't mention that this exploded private prison system.
Exactly. It’s like a machine to fill the private prison system. The way they house inmates has little to do with rehabilitation and so you get people more likely to wind up back in prison.
She had her agenda, she put her spin on it and was willing enough to put her face on this video at the very least admitting the problems and then trying to justify them. Kudos to her for at least being objective enough to make this video, but she didn't mention a lot. She left out quite a bit that would be relevant and I guarantee it would be under the guise of not having enough time in the video.
I'm sorry, but what constitutes a slap on the wrist? Stealing is wrong, and you know it. Doesn't matter how little it costs, it's still wrong and you should go away for it. It's called deterrent. And if people still do it, make the punishment harder and harder until they stop. I speed because $100 ticket is meaningless. Make it $10k and I'll be well under just to be safe.
@@matthewgraham2619 I guess you ought to look into what I said. Judges have been saying for years they hate not having discretion in many cases dealing with low level charges like they did before the Biden crime bill.
@@samdemings9820 right. That's good. If you know you're going to get a slap on the wrist, why not do the crime? Minimum SEVERE punishment will prevent a great many people from doing it.
Thanks for doing this video, it was interesting. My question now is- were states running out of room in their prisons? Bc if we really were arresting more violent criminals, I’m in favor of that. They should be in jail. Plus, crime did go down. So, if $ was given to hire more cops, and crime decreased as a result, then good. But if we were just incentivizing arrests that wouldn’t have happened before, I can see the issue there.
Now, as far as race, bc that is usually how it’s framed- I didn’t hear anything preferential or disproportionate about it. If it happens that more black men are committing violent crime, then more black men are gonna wind up in jail. The solution is on them, don’t commit violent crime. That seems pretty straightforward, yet so many look at the numbers and call it racism.
It’s been proven through several studies that police presence, for the most part, has no impact on the frequency of violent crime. States were abusing the crime bill to receive more federal money by prosecuting harder than ever and putting more people in jail.
@@Juice-iv5jx That first part doesn’t really pass the common sense test for me. Are you more likely to kill somebody with, or without a cop standing there?
This was back when ol sHillary was worried about those ‘super predators’
it's about being an American an Independent Thinker knowledge is Power thank you 🤗💞🇺🇲
A state (I think Arizonia?) was sued by the Prison Company a few years ago for NOT arresting enough people to keep the beds full in the prison. There is no incentive to get prisoners out... this is a business and those beds need to be full. 😢
Recently, though, DJT released non-violent offenders. It costs the states huge amounts for the state to feed and care for the criminals for longer times.
Uh, every POTUS released non violent offenders. Stop acting like TFG is special.
An actual policy First Step Act. Of course it was by executive order so it was only good until the next pres.
VIOLENT, and I repeat, VIOLENT offenders need to go to prison and serve their time. The problem with this bill was that it caused the mass incarceration of so many people who already had issues with addiction, poverty, joblessness, etc. It rewarded state and federal systems for ruining the future of many lives. and yes, kamala kept prisoners in prison longer than she should because of the financial benefit to the municipality.
Hearing whatever we should be hearing is itself a part of the responsibility. (We do need to avoid false responsibility and be ok not fixing every wrong there is and not hearing too much about issues if we're not called to address them)
Any time government throws money at people/states, they make a lot of committee boards that get rich but the average American loses rights & poor get poorer. The war against poverty or the war on drugs... lots of people got rich but didn't accomplish crap. My Dad used to say, "follow the money". Much Respect 🙏
I really appreciate your insights here. Things would be so different if, instead of paying jails and prisons to fill their beds with inmates, we paid them for successfully rehabilitating inmates.
By the way, "When the rich get richer, the poor get poorer" is one of the biggest and deepest lies that have been told about economics, and derives from Marx's flawed labor theory of value. In reality, the rich and the poor can collaborate through trade and mutually prosper. Poverty is decreasing while wealth is increasing.
Never forget that while Kamalawalla griped and whined in election mode, it was her, as CA/AG that would elevate the cases of young men who had misdemeanor charges to borderline felony so the California Penal system would have a cheap source of labor
Private prisons build their prisons for free in cities and the cities must guarantee inmates. That is the biggest horror of all.
You're cool to listen too man. Your calm demeanour and thoughtfull words are great.
banned semi-automatic assault weapons? That's not a thing. so even the bills positives aren't positive especially when you put into perspective that gun control doesn't have an effect on crime rates.
Oh awesome! I was planning on looking up the crime bill after a previous video and look you did it for me. Looking forward to watching.
Government subsidies definitely make weird things suddenly profitable. Like rising health care costs and getting college kids heavy into debt.
The government was seeing the money but no one's town or city wasn't getting any help
It why are prisons are full. Non-violent offenders.
9:10 I disagree with one thing here Van. They were teaching them a trade. It just happened to be crime. You put a young person in prison and what they will learn is how to be a better criminal. Instead of focusing on the root cause of why the young person committed the crime and how to help them be different.
Crime is Not a Trade Crime is Behavioral, Physiological out of Pure Desire
That's why Anyone can End up as a Criminal and in Jail/Prison
Criminals make Crime a Trade or Living by Teaching Crime, Which by the Way Teaching One Evils and How to Commit said Evil is a Sin or Crime
@William Whitney
What the OP meant was that all these men knew was crime, so it was effectively a trade for them. In prison, they got better at it rather than learning an actual trade that is of benefit to society.
@@THall-vi8cp your not wrong either, Comes down to how far is the individual or individuals are Mindset willing to go before the Mind breaks of stead,Results of Unlawful ACTIONS&BEHAVIORS, Repeating either get said individual well worst dead or imprisoned for stead Crimes, AND Obivisily innocent until Proven Guilty, alot of Crime is Emotional,Irrational,Behavioral,Primial,
Which comes down to the Individual Mind, and So by saying that Crime is a Trade there Reforcing That what that individual is learning by there fellow inmate is a Postive way of Living, Instead of Reflections and Repentance, you Should always learn from your Mistakes and Take Responsibility
@@williamwhitney5266 you missed my point entirely
@@SickGirlRocks No I Understand your Point that Prisons teaches Crime Unconscious or Conscious, BUT your Wrong tho a Prison is there for you to Reflect and Repent, so you don't End up Back in Prison, your Choice if you Learn anything from your Mistake
2.3 million seems like a lot of people but it is .65 percent of the US population. The biggest issue is the fact that they locked up far too many nonviolent drug offenders, especially in minority communities. I still think we need more police in high-crime areas to make those communities safer for people trying to get ahead in life. No one is going to invest in high-crime areas where rioting and looting is taking place.
What kills me is that most people do not understand that most guns are considered semi-automatic. Semi-automatic means everytime you pull the trigger a bullet comes out.
Prisons were private, and they made most money have full cells...
Just for a little bit of context- in no way am I arguing in favor of the Democrats' 1994 crime bill -but it's important for everyone to know that "23 different US states having more people incarcerated than other nations around the world" is primarily a game of semantics.
For starters, America has more citizens than most other countries in the first place. More people= more incarcerations. It's only natural, right? Furthermore, if you break down the numbers on a per capita basis, America is still one of the most lenient societies on Earth. The US criminal justice system has many flaws that desperately need to be repaired, but our system is still better than what 95% of the world has.
Next, nations like China, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam have more people that their state officials have seized and removed from society than America has, but these nations also don't classify these people as criminals who have been imprisoned or incarcerated. These rogue nations do something much worse. They either kill you right away, or they send you to concentration camps to act as slave labor. 90% of these nations' offenders are political prisoners, thus they aren't lumped into the same category of what we define as imprisoned.
Again, I'm not minimizing the damage the 1994 crime bill that the Democrats passed has done, but that you can't just take a blanket statement like 23 US states having more people incarcerated in it's criminal justice system than the rest of the world at face value. There's more to this story than this statement indicates.
Not to mention, it's hard to state the impact of the crack epidemic on poor black communities. Leaders were calling for more police enforcement - back then, you often heard a lack of police was due to racism, rather than too many police is a sign of racism. In truth, in a working society police presence needs to adapt to the area. And yes, white people do drugs too, but the comparative drug in poor white communities isn't cocaine (as many on the left try to compare), but rather meth.
It's impossible to have a solution without some negatively side effects. The 1994 crime bill had many issues, but beyond those issues my actual issue with Biden (and the left in general) is that their 'defund the police' movement during the election is at odds with both Biden and Kamala's actual history. But ignorance is powerful, and I think most people who voted Biden in have no idea of his actual history.

Not sure if she’s trying to diminish it, or trying to say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
This lines up with bizz as usual, the fed pay the states to make prisons, then the states hire inside construction companies, for example in chicago back in the day, the mayor would use tax dollars to build a fence, they would hire a contractor or cousin of the mayor, the contractor/cousin would quote it will cost a mill dollars to make a fence, but in reality it only cost like 50k, then they pocket the diff, this is just an example.
Of course to be a super predator you have to Be black, Or a dark Mexican or something close. A good friend of mine got in trouble and they treated him like he had an illness that couldn't be cured.
Haven't watched the whole video yet. A quick thought... when we turned some prisons over fo private corporations what do you think will happen? State money for every man and woman incarcerated. A corporate demand for money. F/$&ed up
Making the prison system privately operated has become an issue.
I feel that only violent crimes deserve prison time.
I had to quit a job driving a dump truck on site. The company was building a prison and it came to the time when I saw the actual pads where the rebar and concrete would go. They were 6x10', designed for two inmates. This was in Texas and there was to be no air conditioning and only a window high up in the wall. All prisons are now built and run by private contractors who shave every cent while receiving piles of money from government. When I saw that crosshatch of trenches leaving those tiny 6x10 pads I got physically sick. I had to go.
Odd as it sounds, this is what inspired the much maligned sheriff Joe Arpaio to run for Maricopa County sheriff and enact programs and negotiate early release and even expunge records if prisoners obtained an education and marketable skill sets. He used to send them out the gate on release days and say "I hope I never see you again." 😁 He had the lowest recidivism rate in the country.
Doesn’t sound odd. Liberals hate helping people, so of course they’d make it to where you’d automatically think Joe Arpaio being good would be weird
Being a law abiding citizen. I never fear being locked up np matter what bill is passed. It's that simple
Tell that to The Jan.6th Political Prisoners Still being Tortured, and Denied Their Due Process!
Also, Dinesh D'Souza was a Political Prisoner of the Obama/ Biden Regime too!
So our Corrupt government has many Political Prisoners right Now in Fed. Prisons!!
Ah yes, remember that law abiding citizen george washington who just took it up the ass when the british came over.
@@michellerichardson1427 its the left that screws everything up. Democrats destroy this country. The patriots who were fighting for this rigged election on Jan.6 are not the people I am speaking about because they did nothing wrong. I'm speaking about the thieves, murderers, and people breaking actual laws who need to do the timebif they did the crime. All Jan. 6 political prisoners need to be freed and the whole democratic political party needs to be abolished. We need to take back our country.
"Once you become knowledgeable you have an obligation to do something about it"...- #WalkAway!
What wasn't mentioned in my previous comment is now states have a tremendous expense out of their annual budget to continue to run these massive number of prisons because of the maximum sentences that were given back during that time. In some cases the states either sell the prisons to private corporations or because they have no other money available to build new prisons have individual corporations build the prison and then pay them a fee to incarcerate the criminal.
That's Joe Bidens Bill
If you truly love America, be brave for your country. If you love your countrymen and fellow patriots, please stay strong for them, and for yourself.
Crack Vs. Cocaine is the most ridiculous part. Small amount of crack... Go to jail.
Big amount of cocaine... Go to jail
This hit the pot growers bad in eastern Kentucky. They had sent what factories we had overseas. I worked midnight shift at the hospital. I couldn't sleep during the day because the DEA had helicopters during the daytime.
The government’s approach to every issue is to throw money at it. Rarely are the recipients monitored on how the money is used.
Thank you for reviewing this Van!!
You're my hero!!
Van when you said, "I wanted to ignore this so I wouldn't have any responsibility". I think you hit the nail on the head for many of us. It can be so overwhelming and disheartening when you learn these things. Don't let it being you down. I remind myself that the world is better than it is has ever been on so many levels. Our nation is better than it has ever been. Don't focus too much on the bad. Also reminded me of the old addage, ignorance is bliss.
Money, money, money! Politicians don’t care about us it’s all money, money, money. “ We The People “.
The REAL problem is the privatization of prisons. The point of imprisonment isn't to turn profits for jailers, but rather, to reform the convict. Remove the profits and focus on the proper goal. It doesn't have to be like this and it CERTAINLY should have nothing to do with race or economic status.
100%
I was thinking the same concept is applied to any of our big bureaucracies - schools, pharmaceuticals, etc. Lobbying, powerful unions lead to legislation that just “looks good” and doesn’t always fix the issue. Don’t get me going on “No Child Left Behind”
No Child Left Behind morphed into Every Child Slowed Down.
As our culture deteriorated and families were dismantled,what used to be considered inappropriate or even taboo,older generations across the spectrum didn’t know how to deal with it so they turned to the government to fix it instead of influencing their own communities. They really couldn’t since moms were always working and dads were missing so they unwittingly handed over more power to the federal government. It’s all cultural. Notice how things are the further we’ve gotten away from our Judeo-Christian values. Things that used to be taken for granted are now obsolete. Sad.
The privatization of the prison system in the early 90s is what makes it profitable
I'm a white guy in Louisiana, I've never met a KKK member or seen a rally or anything like that. I've seen prison violence mostly caused by young gang members
Next up , the "private prison" system. They figured a new way to monetize poor people.
9:11 "Policy makers felt the need to respond..." Policy makers take the path of least resistance. They make the simplest choices, even when the results and subsequent consequences aren't very strongly considered. The problem is that people respond positively to governments "doing something." The more immediate and obvious the effect, the "better" it is. Politicians only care about what will affect their chances at the next election. Long term consequences are someone else's problem, or they can be blamed on the failures of others even when the "something" they decided to do was fundamentally flawed.
Convicted violent criminals should be in prison. Even if that means building more prisons. I wish there was much less violent crime and fewer prisons.
