Did the bankers go without punishment under the first "black" president's turn at the helm of state? Why not ensure those who need help receive the help they need and then expect this punishment? The concept of "punishment" has more to do with a child-parent relationship to me. To me, it sounds adolescent. Are we serious? Can we "punish" our way out of injustice by design for profits. I've been punished all of my life. Nothing has changed.

Did you know that fathers are not allowed to raise their children? Fathers play more of a disciplinary role than the mothers. So, who's making all of this money by depriving fathers of their children? Is both the left and the right involved? I think so. This is not Ms. Price's fault.

"DA has no impact on crime.""People labeled as perpetrators are actually victims." -Pamela Price

[@jcjcviews]

I have lived in Berkeley and Oakland for over 30 years. I am black and have been involved in politics every day and second of my life. The reason is that black people cannot afford lawyers. Unlike other groups, therefore, black people make easy targets. The most significant level of the symbolic black face of crime is a result of the denial of black people the necessary resources to afford a decent living and the attorneys required to achieve their objectives, to have a better life. Black people are under attack, as they've always been. The crime we speak of is the result of the crime of neglect. Oakland has been the way it is (including white-collar crime) because the black condition has not improved, and some are subjected to the necessary spillover from black oppression and hyper-exploitation. In fact, I will pen Ms. Price another letter about how the DA's office let me down methodically, thus ruining my life over thirty years before it began. Cries of crime being out of control (crime is never in "control") concerning Ms. Price because she cares, unlike Kamala Harris. Ms. Price's face makes for a good picture of a scapegoat. There is no surprise here. If there is any confusion, I said I support Ms. Pamela Price,💯 Down with the MOB created by money (as freedom of speech).

[@BlueSky-Above]

Pamela Price went soft on a murder case involving three killings in Oakland over just 31 days in 2008. The criminal was given an unprecedented plea deal that would sentence the defendant to 15 years in prison and see two of the three murder charges against him dropped. So yeah, compassion for the criminals

[@marccurzon]

I came to the USA from the UK when i was a child, in the uk 15 years is the sentence usually given for murder. There are 1/4 of the murders in england+wales than in California despite similar populations. The tough sentencing is just bankrupting the country and the crime continues. I notice as I have autism and i am 33 and the life expectancy for autistics is 36-> that almost everyone who was in my special ed classes in school ended up either homeless, dead of od/meth induced asthma attack, shot, in prison for life for murder and one of the most successful dudes became a expert car thief and coke dealer and has a house now->he showed me his trunk once it was full of car steering wheels and columns with the keys in the ignition of various models of cars. But had these people lived in a more civilized country they would have been given welfare checks for the learning disability and behavioral issues (Pathological Demand Avoidance is the real main problem with autism) and they wouldn't have turned to crime, murder and toxic drugs. All the special ed teachers cared about was us passing the high school exit exam... not interview skills, communication skills, dealing with how everyone in the normie world hates retarded unbalanced people and will always be rude af and most importantly coordination because its impossible to maintain a manual labor job if ur autistic and naturally uncoordinated.

And that was this: it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, if you have no way to afford a lawyer, no matter how much you protest your innocence, you can be given life in prison without parole. Ours is only a democracy in words. We live in a class-based society based upon colonization, which created the concept of race for this purpose of dominance. Why is it that forever since I can recall, there has been this manufactured war against crime, for example, and against poverty, which never ends? I ask you, who's in the position to punish whom without end, and for what reason, really? What are the underlying causes of low-income crime with a racialized face attached?
