Former President Bill Clinton defended the 1994 crime bill he signed into law after a protestor interrupted his speech at a Hillary Clinton rally in Philadelphia. Video from affiliate KYW.
So did his free trade treaties which gutted America of decent jobs and in return the crime bill gave you prison cells in exchange. Nice and slick wasn't that. Wall street got the biggest bail out you get a prison cell.
Definately helped them. More in jail the less shooting other AA. Facts dont have feelings. Also with your fact they still vote for Dem while the Dems put them in jail. That is genetic stupidity.
funny how he suggest that they added sentencing to get the bill to pass.... and today damn near every aspect of the bill has been allowed to expire or simply isn't enforced.... except for sentencing
+Charles “Mister” Loudermilk II Why shouldn't there be harsh sentencing? Why do you BLM people think blacks should have a free ticket to do any crime they want? Why should you get special treatment?
+Charles “Mister” Loudermilk II It's amazing how people who didn't grow up during the 90s love to talk about it incessantly like they can somehow understand it. Just look at a chart of homicide rate sometime and see that spike in the 90s. Then you'll see it decline considerably. Yep. It did something whether you like it or not. And Bill Clinton obviously isn't forcing police officers to arrest African Americans more often than they should comparatively or forcing judges to give harsher sentences to African Americans either. The Crime Bill isn't at fault for that. Our justice system is.
+Anonny Moose The problem is that African Americans receive harsher sentences on average than other races even if they're first time offenders. That's a very real problem and it needs to change. As for the Crime Bill, most of the people who are making a big deal about it are too young to know what happened during the 90s and the ridiculously high violent crime rate due to gang violence. I remember being told not to wear blue or red in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL to avoid gang association. Yes, it was that bad. But history has a way of only remembering how things still affect us rather than why they were implemented in the first place. The Crime Bill helped when it needed to. It needs to be changed obviously now, but Bill Clinton can't be held accountable for the Crime Bill having unforeseen consequences 20 years later or the problem with prejudice in our justice system. He has nothing to do with any of that. People are being 100% disingenuous.
No disagreeing with any of that.... They beefed up the police force then added new laws to send people to jail. The 1994 crime bill had some very good measures.... None of which remain today....none except the one sending people to jail.... And they still have war machines to police the streets. This bill was also voted into place on when science suggest crime was coming down but public opinion had it at an all time high. Maybe some of you should read the bill instead of suggesting that people don't want justice.
And who's lives were hurt that mattered? Who were forced into gangs to help their families survive? Instead of looking at why people become gang members and endure in this violence, you decided to create mass incarceration that continued for three different administrations
And whose decision was it to prioritize starting a family ( when they werent ready to fo so if they needed to join a gang to raise one) over bettering their lives before deciding to start a family??
I'm not a Democrat But he is correct. NYS buried 2300 people that year. And it dropped way down after that. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
IHow is he responsibe for it? The crime bill was meant to help put the US on the right track, because the crime rate was sky high. It helped out a lot, crime has significantly decreased. And you can't blame some officers for being racist on Bill Clinton.
@@e3nethan910 it was meant to line l his pockets from private prisons. It wasn't to help anyone, but rich politicians with special interest, if anything it is behind the cause of a lot of split families. They locked up men for something as small as pot, they harshly punished non violent crimes, men locked away in prison longer than rapists and murders. Crazy how you people buy into this bullshit. Nonviolent crime went down, but violent crime stayed the same if not increased.
I remember when pudding brained, Right Wing mouth breathers weren't vile, cowardly, always wrong meat puppets who keep supporting failed policies that makes the life of anyone who isn't rich; materially worse...and then of course blaming everyone but themselves for their poor decision making skills....oh wait...no I don't.
In American Made, Barry Seal, at the court house, told to all the cops: “I’ll walk out of here, you’ll see.” And the cops were laughing, then the female D.A. Came out, n said: let him go. Because the Arkansas governor said so...it was Bill Clinton. I never saw so much drugs in one place.
+Fabrizio Aldonne They put people in jail for not having money. They also put people in jail for marijuana when it's the only medicine that treats their symptoms with minimal side effects. I once saw someone go to jail because he cited the Constitution to a cop that was harassing him. Most people in jail for child support have either a mental illness or a chronic physical illness.
+Fabrizio Aldine The problem is that Clintons have been profiting from legislation they helped pass. One of their main donors is the private prison industry. They are using our tax payer money to lock up minorities so their Donors can make huge profits. Its has nothing to do with crime.
The Crown Heights riot was a race riot that took place from August 19 to August 21, 1991, in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York City. Black residents attacked Orthodox Jewish residents, damaged their homes, and looted businesses.?
Yea but it also effected good people that defended themselves doing the right thing and they gave them their 3rd strike because they have a criminal record
hmmm... originally i wanted to give him a pass on this, but it sounds like he was waiting for a protester to say something so he could set up that argument.
You definitely will never hear the liberal media question why he spent so much time with Jeffrey Epstein. It's obvious from his other exploits that he was a reckless pervert. Sad how people's lives could be ruined over a sack of weed while this clown is untouchable.
+The Great Brady Really, in this picture, he looks like a wet nurse from the 1800's. Did momma not breast feed you? Is that the issue that feeds your anger?
Crime? Bill? How ironic and poetically apt, for one of the biggest crooks to have walked this planet.
HAHAHA Crime Bill. BAHAHAHA good one Jabba
Teddy James stfu go lick some boots white boy teddy
2.2 million people in jail, thank you for your crime bill... it really helped the AA communities... NOT
Tens of DU actually it’s white people who get the pass to do as they please
@@Mariam-wt5zu Bill Clinton's racist policy was the reason why I moved to Canada and married a Canadian woman..
So did his free trade treaties which gutted America of decent jobs and in return the crime bill gave you prison cells in exchange. Nice and slick wasn't that. Wall street got the biggest bail out you get a prison cell.
We are still talking about people who commit crime and repeat it. No one told them to do it.

He really had the African Americans Democrats fooled🤣
He did 😂

The laws are fair, nobody forces black people to commit crimes. Personal responsibility doesn't seem to be a popular concept these days.
This is why I'd never run for public office in America. There's no nuance in anything anymore, and people like to scream and shout over each other.
I'm not a Democrat But he is correct. NYS buried 2300 people that year. And it dropped way down after that. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
aww, I can't get angry at bill, he's too cute and old, but still, he's part of screwing up the country

Bill answered very well. Those who scream their lungs off at other people are trying to overshout the voice inside them telling they are wrong.
See drug abuse as a crime and not as a health issue triggered everything

A fatherless generation did a lot of good, didn’t it Bill?
That is a Bold face lie...I suggest anyone to check the amendments to the 1994 crime bill
Don't want to go to jail? Simple, don't commit any crime.
that requires common sense.

***** LOL, yes, let's legalize everything. Want to fuck a corpse in the cemetery while smoking crack? Go ahead, this is lala land.
naxT890 Regardless, people wind up in jail AFTER the crime, not before. Personal responsibility is a wonderful thing.
I can't stand his sneaky ass.
Passing drug bills at the same time passing cocain across borders
#nomoreclintons
Billy dropping some TRUTH right here!!
Slick Willy is feeling the Bern.
devil right there
It was the "sentencing" that brought down the crime rate, not the "assault weapons ban" and "mo dem programs." 😉
funny they lie the same!
Yeah there was a law in crime everywhere else because most police were reallocated to inner cities. During that period crime skyrocketed.
Please go to wikipedia and read about Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 before posting hateful comments.
Cringe
Can we get the actual statistics for what he says? Is it too much work?
And they lost because of it.
Karma!
Clinton did a lot of good as president.
Real

Yea but it also effected good people that defended themselves doing the right thing and they gave them their 3rd strike because they have a criminal record
I smell lies
A shame that some people refuse to listen to the facts. I trust Joe Biden on justice reform because of that bill.
dude joe biden helped make the bill
Don’t blame him blame the people above Bill Clinton
Get em' Bill!

wguillaume Acts 17:11 With bill you won't need your fingers...
***** no way, don't put words in my mouth. How so?
***** I think it goes a little deeper than than. Mostly has to do with drug policy. But thanks for your opinion.
@hmph I support bill not an uneducated person that believes hear say
hmmm... originally i wanted to give him a pass on this, but it sounds like he was waiting for a protester to say something so he could set up that argument.
Did he just literally imply that he saved a lot of black lives by instead putting them in prison?
Think he meant by putting the gang bosses in prison they weren't out on the streets ordering murders or recruiting kids to join their gangs.
Why are people jumping on Bill, how can you not love Bill for Christ sakes come on now?
Wow my perspective on this totally switched
Fascinating
liar
Is he right?
Yes
The elites have spoken. #brainwashing
And you know who did not kill himself
Well Said Bill Clinton! 👏👏👏👍
Wonder if he rushed out after this to get on Jeffrey's plane ?
You definitely will never hear the liberal media question why he spent so much time with Jeffrey Epstein. It's obvious from his other exploits that he was a reckless pervert. Sad how people's lives could be ruined over a sack of weed while this clown is untouchable.
How the hell was joe Biden vice president in 1994!?
He said VP Biden because Biden was VP when he said this, dumbaas
YOU DID THAT SHIT SLICK *(WILLY!!@#%)
At least he didn't call a swat team to escort her like Donald Trunk-Drumpf would u have.
becouse there was jobs is why the crime rate were down
What's wrong with his voice?
He's getting old.
Good liar! Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry not sorry bye BILL
i wish we have the crime bill again and a hard criminal system
Based
Slick Willie is a babe
Voilà les vrais racistes, pas Trump

Ha Bill Clinton exposing that BlackLiesMatter movement. Don't usually agree with Bill, but I'll agree with him on this one.
