The whole prison system in the US is quite bizarre. Having them privatized and no real national control so the wardens can do whatever the hell they like...
Plus the US has an insane amount of criminals, one of the highest in the world. I think only Brazil has more.
In that sense it'd mean the whole system and society needs a serious overhaul so this entire situation changes, criminality rates and murder rates drop, and I doubt that will happen in the foreseeable future as it's a huge change that is required.
And as long as people keep thinking it's normal it won't change.
As for the murderers... maybe they are out because prisons are full.
As for not voting Trump... I would not have voted for him either if I was an American. He had some good things, but he didn't give a toss about environmental issues which for me is a huge issue. And in general I've never been keen on any republican president.
And I don't like his rather black & white views and ego thinking that he's right. Like with the Central Park five. They were set free, wrongfully imprisoned and abused etc. Finally set free. What is the first thing the a-hole Trump does when president? Try to revert it and get them back in jail???!! WTF!
When these kids were arrested, coerced, abused and whatnot by the police, he had posted a page-size ad to have them killed. WTF?
Such a man shouldn't even have been president. He's ruthless.
In that sense you can say that people who voted for him don't think. Someone that brutal, that linear and self-righteous is not suited to lead a country.
If I'd had to vote last time I would've had a very difficult time as I also don't fancy a man that's way too old to lead a country. In that sense I feel Trump is too old too, but at least he still seems to have his mental faculties in order.
BTW there were people on here that voted Dem and to call these people narrow minded, like teenage girls, basically say they're idiots is not particularly respectful.
Most of the prisons and jails are government run, they were pushing to privatize more prisons because our government has ways of over spending and screwing up everything they do. However some of the private prisons were misusing some of the funds or not following the procedures set by the government. I'm not going to say all wardens play by the book, as in any field there are good employees and bad, but they do have standards to follow and their appointments are made by others.
As far as Democrats vs Republican it is very sad the actual candidates both parties put up, but let's face it being president has a lot of down falls as you can see here and not many are willing to put themselves thru that. If people would get more involved in primaries where the party narrows down a hand full of candidates to find just one to put on the ticket we may get a slightly better candidate. A party would not put more then one candidate on the ticket because the votes would be split up, the same can happen when a strong independent runs, they will never get enough votes, but they take away from one party more then another depending on their views, but for most elections voting for a party besides Democrat or Republican is just throwing your vote away. There can rarely be upsets such as when the wrestler Jesse Venture ran as an independent for our state governor and won, but too many voters are brainwashed in sticking to whatever party they have been brought up with like it's some kinda religion.
People who are charged with murder are often offered bail, and if they bail out they can be required to where ankle monitors, or accidentally murder, more often refered to as manslaughter can sometimes be released on house arrest, but for someone who is actually convicted of murder is rarely let out before serving at least half their sentence.
The United States does have a tremendous amount of crime, but take black people out of that equation and it will seem a little more in line to what other countries have, being a melting pot of nationalities and having guns available leads to a higher crime rate, but also our wealth and people's greed leads to many crimes.
Or system does need a big make over, but to stop charging people, or even stop people commiting crimes will snowball into an even bigger mess in a hurry. My solution would be go back to the scarlet letter days. If somebody is caught stealing cut off some fingers like they do in India, if the steal again cut off their hand or arm. Sexual predators could be castrated, or if you neglect your children or can't afford to feed them you could be sterilized. We could be like when the British Empire shipped all it's convicts to Australia, we just got 100k people from Afghanistan, let's do them a favor and send them 100k criminals in return, or send them to Central America because we got a ton of people coming up from there. We could also open our prisons up like a zoo, people would be allowed to poke the prisoners in their cages and yell at them, treat them like the animals they are instead of giving them all the luxuries of home, things to make people think before they go out and commit crimes.
Climate change is much too long to discuss under this topic, and long story short people will always find a way not to get along.
