Drugs and Alchohol/Criminal Justice Reform

Crime

I am Liberal-Conservative populist on Criminal Justice Reform. While I am glad that DJT’s son in law pushed him to sign it (to shut the liberals up) and I do feel our criminal justice system has issues, I also feel Criminal Justice Reform is a hard left push to go easy on criminals and to undermine our law system and police and that doesn’t fly with me. We should not go easy on criminals as being tough in them teaches them a lesson. Criminal Justice reform will create more crime and cost taxpayers too much.  It is a naive concept at best but unpractical

I support an amended SB 714.  SB 714 would create blue ribbon commission to reevaluate the criminal justice system and drug policy (drug policy part amended to include only blue ribbon commission members whose views on drugs mesh with my views on drugs below with some ideas taken from Chuck Grassley’s amendment), that would also make recommendations for reform.  Keep in mind that the US houses 25 percent of the world's inmates despite having only 5 percent of the world's population

I am against the three letter agencies like the FBI violating the civil liberties of Americans . From going after parents who protest the CRT, to their raids on former Trump officials, to the illegal spying it is clear our civil liberties are being threatened by these bullies

My views on the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mara Lago estate generally echo Fox News views on this. That raid was petty, partisan, over the top and in bad taste. It could have been handled better by the FBI, at the very least. 

Blacks and whites commit the same amount of violence against Asians.

Oscar Lee Stewart should get the same punishment that any other person would get for killing someone via arson. There are no excuses for what he did.

Violence in lower income place like what is happening in Chicago over the last decade or so like all violence is terrible and needs to stop. I am glad that leaders in those communities have been vocal about taking it seriously in the last few years. 

Crimes committed by blacks should be reported just as much and in the same exact way as crimes committed by whites are reported. 

I am against people disrespecting the police (like throwing things at them, spitting on them, harassing them, calling for violence against them).

I do not believe that the police should be defunded or abolished. It is sad and reactionary that the police and the work they do is now politicized. That type of politicizing should be reimagined and all politicans on both sides who politicize should be defunded (in the political world defunded means to cut off political donations to)

If people want to stop perceived police brutality, police departments across the country should hire BLM members and anti police brutality activists as police officers since they would be the least likely people to use brutality on suspects.   Another idea for people who want to stop perceived police brutality is to require police officers to learn Krav Maga control and restraint techniques to deal with violent suspects instead of methods they currently use.

If the police are abolished we'll have vigilantism which would be impractical and objectifiable. I wouldn't mind seeing the Guardian Angels brought back and expanded throughout the US and used in place of cops in some specific instances.

I am against Rashida Tlaib's senseless, illogical proposal to empty prisons. Prisons (all prisons) should be a fixture of society and getting rid of prisons is one the worst ideas I have ever heard. I will fight to make sure she never gets her way with that

I am Liberal Conservative Populist on Ban the Box

I am against the Death Penalty being legal however in rare cases I don't want the death sentences commuted to life sentences but to be carried out instead. Those rare cases are the same rare cases that Mark Hatfield would deny the petition for the death sentence to be commuted to life sentences if he was alive today and Governor of those states.

Drugs/Crime/Stealing

I am against Cocaine, Heroin, LSD and Crack being legalized or decriminalized. I only want weed to be semi criminalized for rec use and legalized for medical use. If weed is to be legalized ,I want weed to be legal in less amounts than it is now and with HEAVY regulation. Drug trafficking should always be illegal with drug traffickers going to prison for that for years

All jobs should drug test employees for Marijuana, Cocaine, Crack, LSD and Heroin

People should NOT use Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin, LSD or crack for rec use ever. Just say no. 

Hard drug users should eventually be transferred to technological incarceration and then finally to a Drug Diversion program where as a whole they'd get slightly less time 'imprisoned' than they do now (though some of them might get somewhat more as a whole) 

I also conditionally support mandatory minimum sentencing for hard drug convicts only if it would allow hard drug convicts who show good behavior and reform in prison to be transferred from prison to country club type prisons (not long) and then to anti drug boot camps to finish their sentence.

Repeat hard drug offenders who refuse treatment should get way harsher prison sentences than they do now

I support aggressive drug prevention methods to prevent drug use

I am half heartily empathetic to legalizing LSD and Crack but having users who are caught doing those 2 drugs be forced to be subjected to Bitlaha (unless they agree to self isolate for months to maybe a fewish years or more ie unless they are mandated to have the same freedoms and lack of freedom for months to maybe a fewish years or more that Americans in the US had or didn't have in 2020 during the lockdowns in which if they agree to this, their Bitlaha is lifted) .In addition to being forced to wear a badge of shame that shows they are LSD and Crack users for 10+ years while having some degree of community supervision over them for at least 5 or 8 years.   My reason is Fentanyl , Cocaine and similar 'Heroin category' drugs are so bad, LSD and Crack look tame by comparison

I want most types of alcohol to be semi illegal in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Malaysia and  ,Indonesia

I don't want Alcohol and Liquor to be sold at theme parks, or at outdoor restaurants.

I support blue laws and believe they should be implemented all 50 states.

Stealing is wrong and people should go to prison for stealing.
