Kamala Harris Mocks People Who Say We Need To 'Build More Schools, Less Jails'

[@bradoflv]

Throwing half the population in jail hasn't fixed your "3 locks" problem either.

I want to put 3 more locks on her door, then throw away the keys.

painting the illustrious picture, Murderers(night stalker) couldnt climb in a window. Or through your under foundation crawlspaces and get you.........bc she lives in a high rise? how illustrious a picture this is to universalize to teh rest of americans since we all live in high rises

[@bruces4515]

I am trying to figure out why she has padlocks. She has enough money to buy deadbolts.

[@CriticalThinker02]

Exactly.

[@JohnnyTheWolf-d3p]

"3 Lock Problem" sounds like the title for a parody of '3 Body Problem'.

[@charlesfosterkane]

"there should be serious, severe, and swift consequences for crime." But not financial crimes obviously - especially the sort of financial crimes that leave so many thousands of ruined lives in their wake, crimes that no amount of padlocks will protect you from.

[@GeorgePiazza]

Like Steven Mnuchin? Or the Wall Street buddies she met a few weeks ago to get their blessing for 2020 bid?

[@shway1]

or the pedo clergy she stopped investigating as soon as she became DA

[@FranchizKeng]

Her and her family and friends never been robbed before. But she wanna focus on something that never happen to her or her family. Its all about cheap 13th Amendment slave labor.

[@lyfe.personified]

Don't forget that these same financial crimes are the same crimes that push regular people into violent crimes that she so eloquently put it. The dumbass is so worried about the existence of crime rather than the factors that make crime exist

[@nerdboy02]

I think it's a very reasonable litmus test for Dem. presidential nominees to ask "Can you remove the name from one of their speeches and make it indistinguishable from one that Mitch McConnell or Dick Cheney would give?" Fearmongering about crime to claim that we can't afford policies that help people is Conservative Talking Points 101.

[@alexlisa790]

Agreed

[@hamjohn8737]

oh and look who your VPOTUS pick will be.....don't vote for McConnell or Cheney, but Kamala is now the answer

Thanks to the H.R.3355 - Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 , aka "Mass Incarceration", America is safer than 25 years ago

[@isidoreaerys8745]

Mohamed America is safer now because big cities aren’t full of neurotoxic Lead Fumes which make everyone psychotic.

[@chrisp3388]

​@@nicolasleroux5302 Not true. Killing rates were slightly lower in 2014 than they were in 1960: www.infoplease.com/us/crime/homicide-rate-1950-2014 Of course in 1960 they didn't incentivize crime/convictions via private prisons so it could actually be even lower now than it was then.

[@jordanschoenenberger4397]

yeah, and there were two decades of mass incarceration before that, explain that.

[@steevmnuchin8290]

Why DOES she have 3 padlocks on her front door? Is she under the impression that property crime rates are high? B/c that's wrong.

[@TheyAreHere2]

People in law enforcement culture are extremely paranoid. They are distrustful of people as a whole, and feel endlessly insecure and vulnerable at all times. The three padlocks is a mundane example of this irrationality, most of the time it presents itself in murder and pain.

Steev Mnuchin How many enemies has this woman made in her life? She probably sleeps with an AR under her pillow too.

[@isidoreaerys8745]

Drew Gold your comment is gold. The law enforcement culture are the people that watch the conservative local news and eat it up and live in constant fear which totally shuts down their neocortical activity. They are the kind of people whose hearts will race if a black persons walks to close to them at a gas station and will scold you as though you had made an attempt on their life when you accidentally left the front door unlocked one afternoon.

She has 3 padlocks on her front door because she lives in the wealthiest area of San Francisco and she as a DA didn't send criminals to jail. Is she that dull?

Took me less than a minute to find this research. academic.oup.com/restud/article/81/4/1484/1573040 tldr: "We use a dynamic equilibrium model to compare two alternative sets of policies targeting crime reduction: subsidies for high school completion and increases in prison sentences. We find that, for the same crime reduction, a subsidy to high school completion has large efficiency and welfare gains which are absent in the case of increases in prison sentences." We need to move toward prison abolition now.

[@pennyforiathotts4790]

"there should be serious, severe, and swift consequences for crime." Funny, she didn't feel that way when I was inconveniently assaulted in her city while she was DA, but too busy running for state office to do her job. She looked at the gory photos of what a psycho home invader broke into my house and did to me in my bed in front of a witness, and decided it wasn't a crime, let him go scot free. When my lawyer asked her office to reconsider, her assistant DA told him she'd never open a case like mine while she was running for office. The guy continued to threaten me for another four years. She got her state office, and I got to be too afraid to walk from my bedroom to my kitchen inside my SF home without carrying pepper spray for years.

[@avniparikh4220]

I’m not sure why Harris is being criticized for this. Many victims of assault never see justice, and I believe her concern is for them. While education is important, it can be complex and isn’t always the solution for a community. Bringing up education in discussions about criminal justice reform doesn’t always make sense, which is a common occurrence in California and other progressive states-this is what she’s addressing. I don’t think she disagrees that society should prioritize education; it’s just that when we discuss violent crime and criminal justice, we shouldn't be idealistic.

I sleep everyday worry about my house invasion, driving safe not to make sure a dumb person with a stolen car follow me home... my family has been kill in the streets, my family has fight back with legal to protect his business. I believe a liberal who is "outsider" does not speak for us, you are not a working family who has to live in the ghetto. You will never understand, this is not a book or a tool.. its reality change the leaders . Why do I need to move out my city? when the criminals stay here living has equal rights if I protect myself from being rob.

How is this mocking? She said “WE progressives” aka saying she’s including herself in this. And, she has a point. Nuance matters. Things that sound good on face value may not be good once you dig into the details, which is what she’s attempting to do here before the video ends in the middle of her trying to make this point. Let her finish her point and then see what you have to say!! I bet what she was about to say was: serious crimes need to be punished equally regardless of race, class, gender etc but we need to make sure no one is profiting off of these people being incarcerated. Building more schools doesn’t totally fix the problem we have with having too many prisons. What fixes the problem is ending corporate rule aka the companies that profit off of people being incarcerate and do all kinds of shady stuff to try to create circumstances where people end up in jail. Education is only a small piece of this. And, she even says she AGREES with the education piece, but that it’s not enough!!! Please stop demonizing people who are on your team, especially by cutting them off before they can finish making a point. She is trying to save the world from Trump 🙏🏼
