Above the fray.
with all due respect to everybody here..people tend to revise history when they speak about that crime bill

The streets were KILLING FIELDS in that era
look up the homicide and crime rates for your city in the early 1990s

they PEAKED in that era.

again, with respect to everybody, this site is mourning a fallen member of the fold now...and took action trying to find the culprit

People were losing loved ones the exact same way in that era, and wanted law enforcement to take action solving and preventing future deaths

You younger guys, ask your fathers,uncles or old heads about how much death we dealt with in that period.

Politicians might regret some of the provisions and consequences of the Bill, but we were dying in record numbers

Was Warren an elected member of congress or even holding elected office?

She was just a Republican and member of the Federalist Society, a group that staunchly opposes affirmative action for Blacks and Natives, while she was falsely claiming to be a Native "Woman of Color" herself, presumably to steal benefits intended for Natives.


Nothing wrong with that as long as you're not in Congress, huh? People's morals cannot be judged based on actions taken outside of Congress? :mjlol:

This is why it's impossible to discuss the issue in twitter-land with these dumbasses. People make disingenuous arguments and never discuss this in context. I lived in Detroit at the time. It wasn't pretty. There was a huge push and support for something to be done. Black politicians, black community leaders, etc supported the bill. If you want to argue the bill ultimately went too far and was misguided fine. But we cannot have this argument without first discussing how it came to be.

In terms of Sanders, here's my beef. Him and his supporters love painting him as a perfect saint who has been consistent on everything for 40 years...while simultaneously attacking democrats for voting on things he supported. He voted for the bill, yet wants to act like Clinton and the democrats came up with this bill and he opposed it. I'm tired of the act and I'm tired of democrats not attacking this fraud like he attacks them. Go at him. If you want to fight, fight.

I love how they cut the quote off when he said "substantial sums to prevention, to combat violence against women and child abuse."

You couldn't vote against the bill otherwise you were "against women."

It was an omnibus.

Most bills usually have other things attached to them..

Agreed..

You start talking in depth about certain things and accountability starts popping up.. Every black city was under siege by violence..

Hindsight is always 20/20... This was one of the worse bills to ever be backed but in context something had to be done. And as you can see as of right now we aren't repeating the same mistake. Prisons are closing and rehab for drug use is way up.
